Wow, feels like forever but I am finally back up and running after I lost my computer and most of my backed up data when I had a hard drive failure.

Now renting a computer since it was much cheaper than fixing the old one.

I also would like to note that I am seeing many questions in the blog section and if your looking for help, post it to the forum since the forum posts are seen more than blog posts.

Well, we got back today from Puerto Rico visiting family for ten days and will have plenty of pics to most tomorrow.

The pics will be mostly lizards and a few pics of frogs but they should be interesting.

As for returning home: I have been recovering from the mess my wife's son created due to his lazy and almost hazardous attention to the chores he was tasked with for using our car. Which by the way he couldn't use after blowing a seal and covering the belts in oil. This caused the belts to slip and not allow the battery to stay charged. I warned her since he blew a cam seal last time he used the car for a few days.

As for the tanks, I had to remove tons of thrown in crushed corn since he scooped it up with the crickets and threw it all over every tank except for the dart vivs.
We had him feed two different days with us to ensure he was doing it correctly before leaving.

No water changes as he said he was doing, but he did flood them over as he poured water in thinking it would be good enough to do.

We are also chasing down a few cultures of fruit flies since we believe he opened them and set them down to open the vivs and let them go everywhere. Nice... I'm not to impressed.
If you have suggestions to reducing the numbers let me know. We have a few vinegar dishes out but the only sit on the rim and don't seem to climb in.


Our Crested Gecko also allowed me to hand feed tonight for the first time so he was probably starving.

Its been a long day since I have been up since Saturday morning. ]]> DonLisk https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/47-Back-from-vacation https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/43-Vacation-update Thu, 25 Aug 2011 08:28:57 GMT Well, we arrived in Puerto Rico at 2:30 am and got to our place at 3:30 since we had to stop for some fresh bread and drunks for me and... Well, we arrived in Puerto Rico at 2:30 am and got to our place at 3:30 since we had to stop for some fresh bread and drunks for me and granddaughter.
Upon arriving at the house a tiny kookee sp? Frog has to cross the granddaughter,s path and of corse she has to pick it up to show mommy who slides a screen door right across the poor frogs legs and pretty much cut it in half. Not a great way to start vacation.

Moral of the story... Don't show the frogs to mommy. ]]> DonLisk https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/43-Vacation-update https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/42-On-The-Road Wed, 24 Aug 2011 18:50:56 GMT I will be online on rare occasions over the next ten days while on vacation with the family. I'll check in as I can.

Have fun and keep smiling.

In preparation for leaving on vacation tomorrow, I decided to add some springtails to the dart vivs so there will be some added eats in the tanks.

In doing so, my Leucs tank, which is always at a pretty damp state, ended up flooding out from the pouring in of the springtails. Oh no, this is going to be a mess I thought.

I ended up moving some of the substrate and cutting away some screen, then adding a small pond feature to allow for siphoning of the excess water. Wahoo, it worked like a charm and doesn't look to bad at all.

Once some more water collects there, I'll drain that off and should be good to go. ]]> DonLisk https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/41-Oh-No-thats-too-much-water-) https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/37-Dendrobates-tinctorius-–-Bakhuis-Mountain-moved-in Sun, 21 Aug 2011 02:38:42 GMT Well, in preparation to leave for a 9 day vacation, I decided to move the Dendrobates tinctorius – Bakhuis Mountain into the new 20 vertical. Wow,... Well, in preparation to leave for a 9 day vacation, I decided to move the Dendrobates tinctorius – Bakhuis Mountain into the new 20 vertical. Wow, was that so easy.

They pretty much hopped right into the culture cup I used and then climbed right out into the new viv. They explored and climbed and settled right in. Amazing.

Along with that I finally got my eye exam done, new glasses, and new contacts.... wow I feel like a new person :-) ]]> DonLisk https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/37-Dendrobates-tinctorius-–-Bakhuis-Mountain-moved-in https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/27-Bee-stings-hurt! Thu, 11 Aug 2011 20:07:42 GMT So I bolt over to the pet store to see what cork they have in stock and during the ride home a few minutes ago, a stinkin' bee flies in the window of the car and proceeds to sting me in the back..... I grabbed it and lucky me has it sting me in the hand between the thumb and index finger...... oh it hurts and I can't get the After-Bite on my back. Man that sucks.

Looks like its swelled to the size of a baseball. ]]> DonLisk https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/27-Bee-stings-hurt! https://www.frogforum.net/entry.php/1-New-Site Thu, 28 Jul 2011 11:41:44 GMT Wow, looking great John.
