Ah okay. Please post more pictures of the frogs. They look so awesome! I see that they even got their camouflage pattern in their eyes. Such cool frogs!
How active are they when the lights go out? Do they climb around at all?

I'll post more when I have more of them!
They are quite active, I would say. They climb a lot, and they jump around quite much more than the red eyes (red eyes prefer to climb and actually seldom jump, even though they are very capable of jumping). I've just seen it one time so far, but they occasionally swim as well. They are nocturnal as you one, but not do the extreme extent as the red eyes. Sometimes they move around during the day, but mostly just to reposition themselves to sleep further. However, be prepared for their calling. They call alot, often and loud. However, I love to hear frogs call, so it's just a pleasure if you ask me. Especially when both species are calling at the same time![]()

Unfortunately, I do not have any more pictures of the frogs yet. They are indeed nocturnal and I do not want to disturb them so much yet. I want them to fully settled in before taking more pictures.
As of yesterday, they ate for the first time. Now, they have slow metabolism compared to most frogs, but it was a little over a week since the last ate. This was probably a side effect of the move to our place.
If anyone is interested in how they sound, I have a file that I recorded it yesterday (when I was trying to do a recording task for my Japanese course... Couldn't do it because of their calling):

I'm jealous. I saw these during the summer @ Repticon and fell in love with them. I too do not have the space for them at this point, but some day.................
Great picture! Handsome little guy.

Thank you Lynn! They are a nice species indeed.
I have another picture for anyone that's interested, but it's not super high quality. Just thought the motive was nice

I am interested in getting another frog / species ( a pair) at some point. I think about these things for a really long time.
I can't decide between Amazon Milk frogs (trachyccephalus resinifictrix ) or these? The mossy frog is so cute - I love all the bumps !!!
I have an enclosure I could turn vertically. BUT, I will have to create a new front for it. Yikes !
I have this :
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001769CGY/...SIN=B001769CGY
Above was my first enclosure for my red eyes. I got it at a garage sale. But it was not tall enough used horizontally. The screen top is made of a plastic screening fabric.
That screen top was a terrible problem when used horizontally.
or I have an old 20 gallon high ( left over from discus and angle fish breeding ) ? not very high when turned vertically for amazon milks though? Don't know
I am scheming.
I do have my hands full w/ my other 'charges'.
Lynn
