Four days since my last post, time for a small update.
Both frogs are still doing excellent, and they both seem perfectly settled in already. One thing that really surprised my is that the already, after not even 2 weeks, know when it's food time and when it's time to wake up. I obviously keep the lights on a timer, so they get the day/night-cycle they need. Just a minute or so the lights go out, I pour the feeders in the bowl. So, they both wake up (just sitting in the same place, not actually moving until the lights are off) just a few minutes before it turns dark. Then, when it actually turns dark, they both begin the gentle climb to bottom of the tank to feed on some deliciously dusted roaches.

Here's a picture of the female, just 30 seconds before the lights goes out. What struck me is that incredibly small pupil (at night, you can barely see the redness, that's how big the pupil gets). They truly are night-lovers:


So, if things continues to progress as well as it has so far, we'll start the breeding process in a few weeks, by lowering the humidity to create the dry season. After that, it's monsoon time! And then, with some help of romantically croaking mp3.-files, there will hopefully be some fertilized eggs.

They both look to be doing fantastic. Thanks for the updated pictures. I truly hope you have great luck with them. God knows Europe could use more Red Eyes.

I heard my male Waldo doing the shaking thing again last night but I was too tired to get up and film him. I'm going to catch him in the act here this weekend...I promise.

Amen!

You better! Can't wait to see it in action!
