Well, I took the plunge and placed my order with Josh's Frogs this morning - two White's tree frogs, 2 inches long. I am as nervous as a new mommy.
We have a batch of small crickets fattening up for them. We have a 10-gallon tank set up as a temporary home, and I got some dark posterboard to cover up the sides and back. My son is going on a Cub Scouts camping trip tomorrow night so the frogs will have at least a full day of peace and seclusion to get settled in. The only thing I'm concerned about is keeping their home warm enough. We heat with a wood stove, and the bedrooms can get quite cold, especially at night but also during the day. I have a 75W infrared bulb in a clamp lamp and I'm not sure it's going to be able to maintain a temp of 75 during the day, even with the dimmer turned all the way up. I'll keep an eye on it today and go get a higher wattage bulb if need be. I will definitely be getting a higher wattage bulb for the larger terrarium, anyway.
So that's all for now, but I will definitely try to post some pics once they arrive tomorrow morning!![]()
