Water debate

[dsmalex97]

I am in no way the Ultimate Guru of Frogs.
I am just a person who in partnership with her Husband has been breeding C. cranwelli for over 5 years now. We have acquired experience and knowledge through trial & error as well as great advice from others who had experience.
The difference between you & I is that when given advice by experienced people, I didn't argue with it. I did my research and combined it with that advice and went from there.
You have been given plenty of advice & some have even taken the time to give you reasons they didn't have to give for the advice they have given.
As I stated before, I have nothing to prove to you. And folks on here can tell you that I love a good debate.......but you are not debating, you are baiting people and deliberately being rude.

You have double-talked so much that you no longer even know what you have said. I didn't miss anything. I read your posts and responded. My methods are not the only viable ones. I could never state that with a straight face.
You get advice and ask "Why?" to every response like a 5 year old does to be facetious.
You do not offend me, you annoy me. Just being honest. I don't mind answering questions, or debating.....bring it on.

You said you planned to place your Pacman in an all water environment and said nothing about depth.....you did say that you would provide "stuff on the bottom for traction" ....the frog wouldn't need that if the water level is to stay only chin deep. A 50/50 land/water setup would be great, but alot of work keeping the water clean.....you already fussed about how quickly the water bowls become fouled and were a pain to clean so often, so keep that in mind.
Also, gravel isn't a great idea......they can & have been known to swallow it and it causes impactions that could kill the frog.
They have an instinct to lunge at anything that moves.....like sliding gravel. As ambush predators that are terrestrial, the instinct is to their advantage to hopefully get as much food as they can. In nature they have been known to lunge and get a mouthful of leaf litter because the stuff was disturbed by a breeze.

I am giving info trying to anticipate the "Why?"s

Do what you will, no one can make you do any differently. When your frog ends up dead because you felt like experimenting, don't expect any sympathy for yourself.......if any is given, it will be for the frog.

Wow...

How about, if you don't got anything nice to say don't say it at all. You are not an expert, and your 5 years experience means nothing to me just so ya know. You couldn't even point me in the direction of any kind of study, just "your own personal experience". Which is fine, but theres really no need to get edgy about it. And did you really think I had a frog in a tank full of water rofl? Like...really? And seriously, you didn't read the whole thread. There's no way you did. It's all there smarty pants, READ. You obviously missed a lot, because all your misunderstanding are written down. Go back and look, and if you really need me to I can quote all of the posts I made that you "forgot". Get your glasses prescription checked...I have been given advice, yes. And guess what? I am taking it. I wanted to know how my idea was bad, and I wanted to know why. This to me seems like a pretty simple request. Especially one from a new comer. I'm a five year old child? HAHAHA!! Look who's pmsing over frog forums...

How am I being rude at all(maybe that last part was out of line, maybe not)? Every time I ask a question I get asked why I'm asking, or get reamed for asking why at all haha! I thanked everyone(including you) for their input, and said nothing in any shape or form that was rude(up until now)...

"You said you planned to place your Pacman in an all water environment and said nothing about depth.....you did say that you would provide "stuff on the bottom for traction" ....the frog wouldn't need that if the water level is to stay only chin deep." -It doesn't need it, but it's a lot easier for them to grip. Glass/plastic are smooth no? Ever hear the term "slippery when wet?" Obviously not. So even if they can touch, when the go to move their legs, sometimes they "slip". The ground is still slippery due to it being a completely smooth surface in case you wanted to know why...lol

"A 50/50 land/water setup would be great, but alot of work keeping the water clean.....you already fussed about how quickly the water bowls become fouled and were a pain to clean so often, so keep that in mind." -Umm, filter? Derrrrrrrrrr

"Also, gravel isn't a great idea......they can & have been known to swallow it and it causes impaction that could kill the frog.

I forgot though, you read that and are fully aware I changed him over lol. I guess your just posting this because you like reading your own posts.

On the real Ivory, I won't be responding to anymore of your little tantrums so do yourself a favor and forget I exist on this forum, because I want 0 from you from now on.
