    Default Albino RETF - first day in big tank !

    I'm nervous!
    "Luna", in quarantine since 8/9, went into the the tank with the big guys.
    He / she is about 1 - 1/2 " long.

    I have one other that is smaller (eating smaller crickets) and has to wait.

    "Luna" pics- (iphone ) enjoy - thanks for looking

    Very nice. I'm glad that Luna is doing well. Its also nice to see that you had your new frog in quarantine. Many people are too impatient and regret it later. Thanks for sharing pictures.

    Thanks Cheri,

    I agree- I'm sure , without any intent, people do it the wrong way.

    ***************

    Cheri, I had three notifications ( comments on pic from my album) I replied to one.
    I wanted to reply to the other 2 ( one was a questions). I viewed them and closed. How so I find them again ?

    Morning after 1st night in big tank!
    Photo - below-
    It looks as though all went well. I got during the night to spy on them. At 1am Luna was on the glass , awake, alert, hanging out on the opposite side of the tank. At 4am I saw Luna on the feeding side of the tank- on the bottom (on the paper towel) looking like any other night waiting for a cricket to walk by. I took this photo at 7:30 am ( I got up late) the lights were on already. Unfortunately, I missed the dawn /pre-auto light interaction with Luna and tank mates. So, I did not get to see Luna eat! I made dinner easy w/ lots of different size medium and small crickets.

    Luna - Sleeping like a baby next to my rescued red eye ( that I think is a female) . Sorry for the wire in the photo ( it's from my thermometer/humidity monitor), I did not want to disturb them.

    That frog is beautiful. I like the contrast against the green one. I had two tiny baby ones shipped to me and one was DOA and the second didn't last more than 3 days.
    Where did you get your adult one from!?

    I love your albino. What a lovely contrast. I have 2 retf's currently. One female adult and one younger. Stickers, my older baby, is a around 2.5" and Bubbles is 1.5" and will soon be out of quarantine. Both are doing well. I will eventually get 2 albinos but am waiting to get my 55 gal set-up. I just purchased the last few things I need.

    Thanks for posting pictures! Now I know for sure I'd like to get some albinos. How pretty!

    Can't wait to see more pictures!

    What does your viv look like?

    Thanks!

    Thanks Heather,
    They are pretty. I have pics in my albums.
    The Xanthic is nice too, but hard to find.

    If you feel like taking a drive - There is a great show Oct 23rd here on LI at the Hilton. Nice area /clean hotel! Very easy to get to/right off the LIE. Big Apple Herp is usually there. They do not always bring the bigger tanks. However, you might be able to arrange a delivery for you there? They are very accommodating. You could get a great price on a viv, as you would be saving shipping costs. Plus , there warehouse is very near-by the show for a possible-up.
    Don't know? Just ideas ?

    I go 2X/year. I have always seen Albinos in the past. There have always been froglets! I have not looked at he vender list for this show yet.
