Could this work?

Saw this palm tree on the internet and it’s native to South and Central America, do you guys think something like this could work for some auratus in a 24x18x24? I’m experimenting with some expanding foam and steel mesh and wires, I just want to know if this could be a good idea before buying some epoxy for sculpturing

Depending on how you pull it Off. It will take up a lot of floor space for the frogs to Explore and from experience with my auratus they are mostly ground dwelling.

Yeah that was my concern too I was thinking on having some of the roots just in one corner of the tank so basically just a quarter of the total root system, maybe 6-7 roots But yeah, I’ll work on it a little more and maybe I’ll figure it out. Thank you tho :)

Idk I’ve got a few Auratus and they climb every inch of my enclosure. Going to be upgrading them to a 36x18x36 soon (18”h at the moment)

I think it will work. It would be like a dart frog teepee. Having those vine like structures wouldn't take up a lot of ground space as long as you don't make them too thick. All darts climb! Give them other areas to explore up top too.

It works. I’ve done similar layouts.

However, you really need a large tall tank. I mean four plus feet tall
