I attached the land area to te backround, with silicone. Also I started painting an added a little sand. I am using the fibergalss resin, because it is water safe, and stuff. So yea, oh and no more pics, because the camera fell in a river, and It will be fixed shortly.. sorry!

can the toads swim in the pond below without being stranded and unable to get back onto the land platform? If this is the case, would a ramp prevent this adaquately? Will the sand fall off over time or be too coarse for the toads skin? Do they like swimming or just laying in water?

Wow, missed that post. Sorry for the late reply, but you did call me zoink. I don't have a picture of the back, here is a crude drawing.

The toads can swim though the entire thing without being stranded. They are excellent swimmers. Sometimes if startled they will dart to the bottom of the water for a bit, but they always come right back up a minute later. My first thought was a ramp, but it took up too much space and allowed for less water. These guys can climb right out of the water with no problem what so ever. The sand has been sticking wonderfully for the past two years or so. I used a fine grade sand(playsand from lowes) and I don't believe it is too coarse for their skin. They do swim some times, but usually I find them just chilling out floating in the water

I live in Houston, Texas. I am all thumbs when it comes to tools. I wish someone made a pre-assembled kit so that all I have to do is connect it together for a ten gallon tank. It would make things so convenient. Does anyone here live around the Houston area who can help me set this paludarium up?
