T. asperum babies

[Raya]

Hello all!

As I've posted in earlier threads I got a group of 5 Theloderma asperum this spring from Hamm. Turned out I was pretty lucky and got at least one female in the group.
They started laying eggs a few weeks after they arrived. But they all went bad at first since they were put in or to close to the water.

But the froggies learned how to do it properly and I got alot of eggs. They have now turned into tadpoles in various stages and a couple of baby frogs. I thought I'd share a few pics with you!



Hope you enjoy!

What species (not in latin)

[Eric Walker]

Theloderma asperum. Also know as pied mossy frogs, pied warty frogs, pied paddle legged frog or Malaysian bird poop frog. This is just one example of why scientific names are so important.

Awesome job raya. The froglets look real good. What are you feeding the tads?

[earthtiger]

Thanks for sharing!

Have you raised them in the tank of the parents?

[Raya]

Thanks guys!

I'm keeping the tadpoles in the parents tank until they turn into small frogs. Then I move them into small containers so I can make sure that they eat enough.

The tads eats drowned dubia nymphs, leafs and I add some fishfood to the water.

Was it hard to catch them in the tank after the morphed? I find they grow much bigger and faster in viv but can be tough to catch after morphing. I started trying g to pull them right before the front legs pop and moving them. Makes it much easier. If you have frozen tubifex worms over there you could throw some of those in the food rotation as well. Mine go nuts over them and seem to I crease growth rate compared to fish flake

[Raya]

Yeah, they are pretty quick as newly morphed. The first one caught me by surprise. I took the other one out before he lost the tail sp he was a little easier.

I'll look into those tubifex worms. Are that the frozen ones you can buy at pet stores or are the live feeder?

[Eric Walker]

Frozen. Don't use to much at a time. It can foul water pretty quick if not eaten
