Figured I'd share a recent terrarium build with Australian sundews as the focus. Had a mating pair of blue dart frogs in there but after they died I tore out the background for a more low maintenance tank. One half of the top tray has a heat pad underneath that's on a thermostat (min temps 78F max 82F). The trays are refilled once a day from a pump with a 4+ gallon reservoir(bottom of the tank), and a small fan turns on once a day for circulation. Light is provided with 4 - 2 ft T5HO lamps and the tank is 30''Lx12"W x 18"H. And the escaped fruit flies from another dart frog tank feed the plants.
The terrarium pic is when I first put the plants in the terrarium.
The supposedly easiest to grow, Drosera capensis, died since 1st the picture was taken (back left corner), but left behind plenty of seedlings. And the D. binata variants have since almost taken over the right side.
Took almost half a year to acquire the derbyensis in the US, and the first one sent got stolen off a porch. There's plenty of them overseas but didn't want to go through the hassle of importing a plant. Enjoy the pics
