    Maybe I should revise that to "the waxworms available here are typically sold as Galleria mellonella", because now I'm doubting what kind I get. Mine have a wingspan closer to 20~25mm and nothing approaching 40mm. It could be their living conditions stunt their growth or I have the Lesser version.

    In any case the wings are flimsy and crunch up easily, so it's more the body size that I'd look at for feeding purposes.

    UncleChester, I feel that we're derailing quite a lot from the topic. However, I would love to continue our conversation about this. PM will be sent in a few minutes.
    A small update from this evening:
    About 2 minutes after the lights went out, they woke up. Their day/night-cycle seems to be very good. I tried to take two pictures today, but they didn't turn out well... I'll post them anyway, but they are crappy pictures, I warn you. It seems like one of them are taking all the food, so I might have to add more dubias than they would eat, just to make sure both are getting some. As you can see in the pictures, one of them are really comfortable in being around the feeding dish. The other one are sitting above it (as you can see on the picture, you just have to look more closely on top on the picture), and it does not have any powder around it's mouth like the one I know ate do.





    EDIT: And yeah, we're having a temporary feeding bowl-setup, since we had a slight problem with the original one. That's why it looks strange.

    Looking at the picture of him sitting in the bowl he looks very healthy. If he's a bowl hog you can always add another bowl. Or nudge him with your finger telling him to move on. Sometimes they'll sit there for hours. Or you can get a bigger bowl. Don't worry about them getting too fat. Red Eyes don't get obese like Whites tree frogs. And if they start looking too plump just skip a day. I feed mine every day but you don't have to. I just like to keep them on a ritual. Its gets their lazy buts out of bed and I get to see them all everyday around the food dish. Its a way to ensure that I see them all to make sure they all look healthy everyday.

    Marléne succeeded in taking a pretty nice picture today. I'm guessing it's the female, since this one was quite much larger than the other, which we saw but could not take a picture of. She looks really fat, might just slow down with the feeding a few days. I'm looking forward to introducing the night-light, when they have settled in, so I can easier monitor if both are eating.
    Also, this one in the picture always stays very light green. The smaller one, probably the male, change to a very dark green colour at night. A good way to keep them apart, when you can't judge by size.

    The two Dracaena sanderiana were a very good plant choice. Directly after the lights are turned off, they head over to them, one frog on each sanderiana. I highly recommend them to anyway planning to keep red-eyes. I'm guessing it's because they're both placed in the waterfall, and they go to the top, and on their way they're crossing the food bowl. So they can sit on them and look down the food bowl, or go to the water fall via them. When they're down staring the food bowl down, they proceed to using every other plant in there.
