Did you see my previous post? Not the mushroom cap one but scroll up a little....

I feel bad about that 
Nah dude its all good, this is interesting stuff, Ive kept frogs before but only local ones in a less complicated setup......I would like to have an exotic frog terrarium in the future, except a BIG one....Is there any other species of frogs or other animals you can keep with them?....I know some are territorial so you probably can't....but the ones that arent territorial?? Like some lizards ro other stuff?
You said a BIG one?
This guys turned an entire room into a terrarium... The room looks 8' x 12' with a 12' ceiling... I hope you meant this BIG that would be awesome!!!...
http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/parts-construction/46988-terrarium-room-build-pic-heavy.html
The problem with keeping other animals in with dart frogs is the climate. Dart frogs require 80% - 100% humidity. With Ideal conditions being 95% + humidity. And not many other animals can live in that environment and be healthy...
There have been people to do so but you need a BIG Terrarium
The Rain Forrest have dozens of micro climates. And Dart frogs live in the micro climate on the Forrest floor.
Lizards and reptiles typically live higher up in the Rain Forrest in a different micro climate.
And to produce these different micro climates in a terrarium is almost pretty much impossible.
BUT!!!...
The best way to create the micro climates would be to make a tall terrarium
And when I say tall I mean tall... larger than 4 foot tall. where you can make the bottom half have little to no air flow with nearly 100% if not 100% humidity where you then have plant foliage creating some what of a canopy over the bottom half. protecting it from the top half where you would then have you heat and basking lamps for lizards and good air flow and humidity in the ranges of 60% - 75%.
But if you scaled it down to a 4' tall terrarium you could probably keep dart frogs and anoles on the same enclosure, But not a chameleon because they are very picky when it comes to environment.

Well I have only just mastered Cubesis. I am trying my hand at ATL#7 now. and I just finnished my flow hood. I got my GH dialed in so it think I can start growing Pan cambo or cyans...
But trust me that is my ultimate goal. Growing actives im my terrariums. Mushrooms in the terrariums look awesome. And they keep the environment healthy.
So I am on a mission to make this happen.
I just need to get to the point where I can cultivate some of the more exotic species and and keep introducing Them into the terrarium and hope one of them takes ahold.
I should try talking to some people here are absolute mushroom guru's... I am sure they may have a better idea what may or may not work.
I would just probably have to give them the details of the environmental conditions And the substrate I use inside the terrarium. 
But if all else fails and i cannot get a active going inside of my terrarium I am going to print a mushroom I see growing in the terrarium and try to grow it out on agar and the introduce ALOT of the mycelium all over the terrarium and Let it take hold.... hopefully.
If i go that route I will just have to wait until I see a cool one growing out... something like this one.
 Because it is big enough for the frogs to hop around on the caps and stuff...

Ahh, cool thanks for the reply... I also like turtles and tortoises. I had a Sulcata tortoise. Unfortunately I had built an outdoor terrarium for the summer which my dog broke through the fence, and you know the rest of the story. I had him during my college years and was devistated when that happened. Almost shot my dog, but he didn't know any better. He is a coyote hybrid so I got over it, instinct is all.... But obviously a different climate the sulcata and tropical frogs. Desert vs. tropical. I asked that previous question because I wanted a terrarium of some sort with frogs and turtles/tortoises in it at the same time.....If I ever did it I would want a HUGE terrarium like that link you sent me. Since I've gotten older I am not a big fan of keeping animals caged in a small environment, I need to go all out....I actually built a pond in my backyard so I can rescue turtles that I find in the road after people build developments, destroyng acres of land.....Also for stocking some fish and provide a habitat for the local frogs....Although I my have to go to war with the god damn coons.....Maybe I should get a coon dog.,...

Yeah I think I have bugged stonesun enough lately 
But I am and not good enough with growing mushrooms to attempt this yet. My frog terrarium is better at growing mushrooms than I am right now. It has grow dozens of different species, I on the other hand have only grown cubensis.
I am going to wait a little while until I feel I am proficient enough until I start Bugging people about different species and my frog tank ect... ect...
But the good news is. If I grow actives out of my terrarium by introduction from agar (Not my half ass attempts with burring a cake like I have in the past lol) I will be posting the pictures here on the shroomery LOL!!! I don't think dendroboard would be happy with me posting pictures on there website of cultivating active mushroom specie's inside a frog terrarium...
On the other hand I am sure if I did that I bet it would turn alot of frog enthusiasts into mushroom enthusiasts and give the shroomery a good handful of new dedicated members...

I've got me a coonhound...be sure you can keep up with them. They're not a ton of energy but get super annoying if you keep them from what they want (whining, bawling, destruction). He's the best dog I've owned. If ya stick them on coons tho be sure they don't follow them into the water, coons will drown a dog.

The problem I see with that would probably be disease... I don't know if turtles carry the chytrid fungus or not. but chytrid will kill a frog quickly... it is wreaking havok on our amphibian population as we speak...

I know, I have some good friends that have raised coonhounds for many years. Unfortunately the dog I have now is a smart bastard but I didn't raise him.. He leaves my chickens and guineas alone and actually hangs out with them, but he had to eat my tortoise.....But I have alot of property. My dogs don't have a leashes because they frequently run through the woods and I don't want them to snag it on a tree or something and get hurt. They listen and can leave them outside all day if I wanted.....
How hard can it be growing cubes in your terrarium? Not that I'm saying I can do it, Ive never had a tropical frog terrarium....but you have like 95% humidity, you can use a 6500K light, you can mist...The only problem might be FAE....But even if you didn't have that you can still just have some long lanky mushrooms you can eat right?

I have grown cubes in my terrarium... I just buried the cake in the substrate.
The problem is that they wont take hold... Meaning they wont keep growing. once the cake is spent the mycelium wont keep going and spreading.
They were not as whispy as you may think. I have a Mistking and my terrarium get alot of FAE But thats why I have a automatic misting system (i.e. Mistking)
(I am surprised people here have not purchased a Mistking to automate there GH)
http://www.mistking.com/
I am looking for a mushroom that will not just fruit. But will survive or thrive and take hold in my terrarium and keep coming back without me having to keep "planting" it there...
Tell you the truth tho, the cubensis may have survived in there, maybe they just have not fruited again...
Either way cubensis are a dung loving specie and my frogs don't eat plant matter they eat fruit flies. so to be honest I am sure the mycelium is dead by now...

yeah, I hear that....I'll have to do some studying with that. Its always been a goal of mine for a big tropical terrarium.....Didn't even think about mushrooms in it too....frogs, mushrooms, other animals in there....that would be fucking great...That will be tomorrows studying

Really tho...
A mistking in a GH for mushrooms would solve people's problems with
Misting there mushrooms All the issues with coolmist humidifiers. all you have to do is add a fan for FAE and all have to do is dial in the timer to go off ever so often to maintain 90% + humidity.
the timer that comes with the system is a seconds timer.
meaning you can have it go ON at 12:00.00 and go OFF at 12:00.01
or ON at 12:00 and OFF at 12:01
It is literally adjustable for any time duration you wish. from 1 second to 24 hours.
you can even set up for days... meaning it goes off every sunday and only on sunday at 12:00 and off at 12:01...
or you can set up for every day BUT sunday or only on mondays wednesdays and fridays... ect... ect... how ever you like it.
really nice timer for a misting system.

ABG Mix... Atlanta Botanical Garden Mix... it was developed by the Atlanta Botanical garden for orchids and air plants and things like that... really great mix...
This is what is in the ABG Mix:
2 parts tree fern fiber 2 parts cocofiber 2 parts orchid bark 1 part peat moss 1 part charcoal
We know mushrooms like cocofiber (coco coir) And I did see some mycelium running threw that When I planted it there. but there is alot of bad shit in a frog terrarium... I am sure the cubensis mycelium is dead...

Alot of bad shit?.....Is there crazy stuff growing in there? Ever have any mold problems or anything? Just curious because my brain is in overdrive right now with your setup......Is there any FAE in the frog terrarium?....Unfortunately don't have the money right now to invest in a tropical setup, or to buy some frogs....

Try Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata, P. zapotecorum, P. caerulescens, P. weilii and P. caerulipes.
^quick search found that.

Ohhh yeah there is crazy stuff growing in there all the time.
It is like a fungus battle field... one specie always trying to over take another...
I said earlier that if you plan on owning dart frogs and grow mushrooms you better have a flowhood. because I have seen trich growing in there cobweb mold all kind of slime molds you name the color of mold or fungus and i have see it in there at one time or another...
So if you got dart frogs your house is going to have contaminates typical mushroom growers wouldn't conceive of having... not to mention some of the seed pods and nut pods I have in there that came from http://www.blackjungleterrariumsupply.com/ they got from Brazil and south america I am sure they had spores from the amazon on them... all of which produce spores and if there in your terrarium there in your house.
So yeah if you plan on having dart frogs plan on having a flowhood. I am just now building my flowhood and it should be complete by next week and I have gotten away with using a glove box... but at a price tho. I have a 10 - 40% contamination rate with and rye or BRF Cake i do... so if I make 10 jars, I almost expect 2 or 3 of them to be contaminated.
That should change when I get my flowhood up and running (I hope if not i just wasted $300.00 dollars.)

Thanks for that info...
I have not been serious about trying to grow actives in the terrarium tho. I am trying to get really good at this mycology thing before I attempt that so I am not just wasting my time.
But I am going to save thoes names of mushrooms to a note pad they will probally be the first ones I try providing I can obtain a print.
THANKS!!!
