About me, and the site of course

Back in July 2018 I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.

A little resection and chemo later, I was looking for ways to reduce stress.

So I started filling my office with different types of plants. I really got into carnivorous plants. One weekend after my treatment was over Cherie and I stopped at a petshop to look around. My eye caught a Exo Terra vivarium that was on sale. I said “that looks like it could be fun”. Of course Cherie went and bought it for me!!
So, what was I to do with a large 36x18x18 vivarium. That’s right, get some poison dart frogs..

So started the journey with our new little friends.

I started the build around May 2019, installed the false bottom, foamed the background. Removed the screen from the cover and installed glass plates. Drilled them for all of the spray heads and other sensors I wanted to be in there.

By the end of July the tank grew out enough to add the new residents. They are happy and healthy.
