Agalychnis callidryas

Thank you for the kind words! They really are beautiful.

Turns out, our terrarium is pretty good at maintaining a stable humidity at good levels... This is good, of course, but not when trying to simulate a dry season.
We've turned off the ReptiFogger completely, removed the one small cover of the small mesh. We've also turned off the UTH that are used to create more humidity. The waterfall is turned off (but is still used as a water bowl). Now, after all this, the humidity is at about 50% during the day (after slowly dropping over a 2 day period), which is good. However, when the night approaches, it's still reaching levels near 80%. So, we went shopping today and this is how it turned out. Hopefully, this little bad boy will help lower the humidity during the night It'll be used with both a dimmer and a timer.

Looking good, I think the fan will help a lot at night. How old are they, or did you get em as froglets?

[ViperJr]

I don't remember exactly how old they are (I do not have the paper right here), but about 2 years old. They were bought at this age as proven breeders.

Awesome. Do RETF's have to aestivate before breeding?

[ViperJr]

No, they do not aestivate, but they can enter some sort of semi-brumation state when it gets incredibly dry, in order to maintain moist. This is not necessary when breeding though, since it's more of a emergency action. However, they do need a seasonal cycle, since they breed when the rain season begins. This happens after the dry season, so need to simulate both these seasons in order to breed them, which is what we are doing right now.

Ahhh, now the drying out makes sense. Good luck, and keep us posted!
