    Default Good news

    I went to Black Jungle yesterday for their BBQ and by the time I got back I was exhausted. It was a very cool place. Darts and other amphibians all over the place, some even calling.
    Anyway, like I said I was exhausted when I got home, so I went to bed early and I mean early. Just before hitting the sack I passed by the rain chamber, which has been the home of my red-eyed leaf frog tadpoles since they came into this world. What I saw looked like one of the tadpoles had somehow got stuck to the side of the tank well above the water line. Upon closer examination, I discovered it had all four limbs and was sleeping in the same fashion that their parents sleep in.
    I got up at 6:00 AM EST, grabbed my flash light and checked in on them. Last night's froglet was climbing around the tank just like its parents do. I also noticed a second one climbing out of the water. I have froglets!!! Whoo hoo!!!
    Now the fun part, feeding them. I was at Black Jungle yesterday, just wished I had bought some melanogaster or springtail's. The fruitflies I am currently producing are too big. So now I have to go to Petco and try to find some Drosophila melanogaster and hope they are not too big for my froglets.

    Congratulations Kurt. That's a coincidence - I got my fist Gray Treefrog froglet with all 4 legs last night. They are very green right now.

    Thanks and congrats on your morphs. Mine are green too, but the eyes are not red yet and their pupils are still round.
