"Thanks USA!!!!"

As the good doctor states, it's a state law not a federal one. Blame Michigan, not the whole country.

You should be fine with CFL though 130 watts of it sounds like a lot unless you have a large tank.

I have been using off the shelf "day light" CFLs which come in at 5000-6000K depending where I...

I like to use Bird's Nest Sanseveiria. They don't grow too tall like their snake plant cousin and they are sturdy so even large toads won't mow them over. I used to have a Bufo Viridis who liked to...

I have two in a 40 gallon breeder tank. I've had them about a year and a half. The enclosure has a rock like cave as a hide. The rest of the facility has some flat slate which I use as a feeding area...

Ok. Thank you.

I'm confused. Is there an establishment called 'Quality Amphibians' or 'max'? I can't find QA with a google search. I'm always looking for a good, reliable source for amphibs so if you've had a good...

About 2 1/2 months ago I made my first purchase from Underground Reptiles. I ordered 3 Red Eye Tree Frogs and 3 Big Eyed/Peacock TF. Smooth transaction and everyone arrived alive and healthy despite...

I know it's many months later but thank you for your reply. In answer to your questions:1) In my 50+ years of herping I have never taken a specimen to the vet. It would make the hobby unaffordable...

Last June (2014) I purchased two Smooth Sided toads (on sale for $25 each) and four of what they labeled as a "Marbled Toad". Both species are from Surinam. The Smooth sided toads are doing great. I...

First order from them was last April (2014). It was three green tree frogs and four grey tree frogs. All were eating when I received them and a year later I have six of the seven frogs. One of the...

Sure, don't we all do that? Seriously though, it should not be a problem especially as an isolated incident.

I agree with LLL Reptile and Heather about taking your time before adding a new resident. It's a valid and wise precaution.

I will also add (and here's where I get unpopular with the orthodoxy),...

I'm referring to the canned food put out by the likes of Fluker, ZooMed and Exo Terra. I usually get the grasshoppers or snails and even sometimes the river shrimp. Theses are not freeze dried, they...

No less an authority than the highly knowledgeable and experienced herpetologist Frank Indiviglio, who stresses variety, has stated that if you must feed them only one thing, let it be earthworms....

I'm not sure if this applies to cats but dogs tend to leave a lot of saliva when they drink. Since it's only one container of water I would toss it and as has been mentioned, distilled water is the...

You could put 10 together with enough space and enough hiding places and diligent maintenance. For that though I'd go with a 75 gallon. If you got two 40 gallon breeder tanks you could split them up...

Your substrate issue has already been correctly addressed. As for species mixing, I'm a long time proponent of it under the right conditions. Your Copes and cricket frogs are probably good but as...

You don't mention what three sites you tried so I may be giving you some redundancy here but have you tried Welcome to Exotic Oddities He seems to have them available most of the time. He's in...

A long time ago before there was an internet or any easy form communication between herp collectors or any easy way to get good reliable information, I had a set up with Cubans, Green Tree Frogs and...

Again, thanks to all who replied. Alas, when I thought I might something more exotic, I instead have the pedestrian Cuban, but they're nice too.

Ok, thanks guys. Even though they behave in a way I'm not used to Cubans doing, yeah they sure look it. The only thing I'm curious about is if Petsmart is selling Cubans as Mexican Gold Tree Frogs...

Can anyone help out with this one? Petsmart sells these guys as Gold Tree Frogs. They clearly are not the fairly common Golden Tree Frogs from Asia. In fact, the shop I bought my two from even listed...

If it's the same kind of small black ants we have here in So Cal, they at least don't have stingers, so no formic acid. However, they still have those formidable mandibles and just because we can't...

One more, wasn't sure I had a pic of this one. 20 gal Long for a solitary Leopard frog
