    Re: Unidentified Bornean Frog. Please help

    How small was it? It looks a bit like Microhyla borneensis, a.k.a. M. nepenthicola, one of the world's smallest frogs. Notable for breeding and spending much of its life in or around the pitchers of...

    Sonan's salamander in Taiwan

    A non-frog amphibian for anyone who's interested; a few quick shots of Hynobius sonani, taken in the Central Mountains of Taiwan. One of five native salamanders, all Hynobiids, all endemic, all...

    Thanks!

    Here are a few more pics of Rhacophorus moltrechti from several months ago, taken when I only knew it from further south.

    A rambling frog post from Taiwan

    Hi all. I intended to post the bulk of these photos a couple of months ago, but stuff got in the way that I had to deal with. (In other words, many of these photos are at least a couple of months...

    Re: A waffling post with some Taiwan frogs

    On the way back I stopped off at a hill just outside of Xindian, a suburb of Taipei City. There's a small-scale farming area there, again with lots of buckets, boxes, etc. These seem to be used as...

    A waffling post with some Taiwan frogs

    Hi all. Just thought I'd post some pics from a few recent trips to the hills around Taipei, Taiwan. No new frogs for me, but it's always like meeting old friends when I get out for the first time of...

    Re: Pinhead Cricket Question

    "Pinhead crickets" is just a term to describe newly-hatched crickets, of whichever kind. They'll grow to however large adults of that particular species get ... probably up to an inch for most feeder...

    Re: Jeepers Peepers!

    Uh, that'll be "game laws" ... nothing to do with games of chance, though I guess a game of chance is generally what you end up playing with trained bureaucrats.

    I'm not in any way familiar with US gaming laws or whatever, but what's the thinking behind such legislation? Are spring peepers considered a protected species or is there some other reasoning? If...

    Re: Taiwanese tree frogs

    Yes, I'm quite fond of Pepe! I didn't really expect I'd like him so much ... I fully intended to put him and all his siblings back once they'd metamorphosed. I reckoned they would just be "boring"...

    Re: Taiwanese tree frogs

    Taiwanese tree frogs

    Hi there!

    Just thought I'd post a few photos of my two tree frogs. Bongo is a Hyla chinensis and Pepe a Polypedates braueri. Bongo was raised from an egg and Pepe from just-hatched tadpole,...

    Re: Nepenthes and frogs, good or bad mix?

    I could be wrong, but that looks more like the hybrid N. 'Miranda'. To my eyes at least. Most N. ventricosa I've seen have squatter pitchers. I have a Miranda outside in my plastic "greenhouse" ......

    I've had some big tubs of crickets - pinheads to adults - going in the office for a few months now. Haven't noticed much smell, apart from when the adults start dying off. Otherwise, not nearly as...

    Re: Mealworms as Stable diet

    I fed them to my newts for a while, and they digested fine, but I was always careful to give newly-moulted larvae. If you have enough mealworms and you dig around in the substrate for a while, you...

    Re: vivarium problem - excaping fruit flies!

    When my tree frogs were small and I was feeding them fruit flies (D. melanogaster - the only kind I could get here), the flies would just wander en masse out of the Exo Terra tank. I sealed the doors...
