Just wanted to share two of my U. phantasticus tanks. Let me know how I did!

This tank houses a single adult female:

That is a great looking viv! Did you just plant it recently? I've used several ficus plants for my chameleon but can never get them to survive/flourish.

Nice job man! Especially with them floor detail.

Thanks! It's been planted for a few months. The moss just doesn't want to do anything though, sometimes it looks like it's going to grow and then it doesn't. I'm fairly certain its not getting as much moisture or light as it wants but I have other tanks for that.

I think it is awesome and close to perfection!
I would only add cork bark oak plates against the side walls inside the enclosure and in the background as well, thus creating a closed space in which stress will be reduced for your animals. And cork bark oak won't mould or rot :)

Really good job!

Thanks! The backwall is already covered in cork bark, but I left the sides open. I think I'll try your suggestion next time. For the time being I'm going to put black contact paper on the sides.

That is really nice. I want to try a viv with some Ficus. They have some unusual ones at GlassHouseWorks.com including some that might be especially cool in a viv. Some of those Ficus will grow lots of aerial roots if you keep them in high humidity.
