September last year, me and my girlfriend started to create a good terrarium for some Red eyed tree frogs. Many Expos, shows and thousands of hours of search later, we finally got the inhabitants of the tank. On the 11th of September 2011, 24:00, we got them. One male, and one female agalychnis callidryas. A friend of mine went to the largest Expo in Europe, the Expo Hamm in Germany, and that's where he found us a breeding group of two males and one female. Unfortunately, one of the males did not make it, and it really torments my soul...
The two that survived the journey to their new home seems to be doing fine. As soon as I put them in the enclosure, they began to explore (since the lights were off when they got in, in the middle of the night). When we got up this morning, they were fast asleep on the same pothos leave (the female on top of the leave, the male under it). They stayed there the whole day. About 10 minutes after the lights went off in the evening, they started to explore their new home once again, climbing on every leave and exploring every inch. Right now, I actually here them call, these two distinct different sounds. It thrills both mine and Marléne's heart to know that our beautiful tree nymphs are finally here
We only have two pictures, since we do not want to disturb them when they're settling in. In about 30-45 days, there will be more pictures of them. I do believe that both pictures are of the male, but it's hard to tell.
If you want to see the enclosure, check out my album!
If you want to know more about our journey, check out these two blog posts. I will write a third (and last) part on how we finally got them, but that will not happen tonight. Perhaps tomorrow or the day after that.

PS. To backtrack a little bit, one of the males did not make it. I don't want to make this thread about Dexter, the poor fellow how passed away, since this should be a thread of happiness. However, I have some pictures of him, to get some help determined the cause of death. So if anyone have the time, expertise and are willing to help, please PM or leave a visitor message, and I'll give you the pictures. DS.
