Hi all!


I'm thinking about making myself a nice well-planted new viv this fall. The two wivs I have now are pretty basic and dull. The P.Edulis and Fantasy Pacman thrashes most plants and decoration I've tried to put in there
So I'm considering some kind of small toad, like bufo viridis or debilis, or one of the Thelodermas. I hope some of you experienced owners could answer a few questions for me about the mossies?


To my knowledge there's three "common" kinds of Thelodermas in the pet trade right now. The asperum, corticale and gordoni, right? They are all very different in colors and very pretty all three.
Is there any significal differens among them? I know that at least the asperums are smaller then the rest..


As I saw in Sarges thread they can eat "big" insects for their size. If an adult asperum can eat Blatta lateralis then I guess they all can eat Dubia nymphs?
I don't like crickets and personaly would not dare breeding lateralis for the fear of escaping roaches.


Have anyone fed them outside their viv in a feedingbin? I do this with my other frogs to avoid escaping roaches and make sure they get the right amount of food.


I know that they are semiaquatic and need an aquaterraria but do they swim around much or just hang at the wateredges? Should I have much open water or more plants, stones etc. ?




I think that was all the questions I have right now. Might come up with more but then I'll just throw them in here as well.


Cheers!
