Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs

[Heatheranne]

Lynn, I absolutely agree! I really think that lack of socialization that she had with the red eyes (friends) caused stress for her. We both know they communicate . I am sooo happy she's eating again !!!

I have a feeling once they adjust to one another they'll all be happy .

(Not the same species...but my pacs were acting funny recently. Eating less and bouncing off the adjacent walls of their tanks, which are about a foot apart. They'd make clicking noises. I finally tested it out, though a little leery they would fight. Nope, not even close...they hopped close to each, first with my hand between them, and made clicking noises. Both were then completely relaxed . Wa laa! aAnd they are not even considered a social species like some tree frogs. )

They are all beautiful! And you've been very patient with Boggie. I have no doubt others would have lost her through her illness phase. Great job!

That'd would be a blast! I'd love to! We'll have to check out dates for the next show. Lunch with Mike would be fun too.

We'd have to bring our photo albums, haha!

Happy Ending !!!
Eating regularly.
Yesterday 5:30am - going back to bed !

[flybyferns]

Well "Boggie" continues to do really , really well---- readily feeding on her own.
BUT !!!
I cannot believe what I just heard !!!

Yes--- three little consecutive ( A. moreletii ) chirps.

Is it possible? I have had her for greater than 2 years and have never heard a peep?

[Heatheranne]

Haha! Maybe "he" can sense his new friends and is calling to them? How cute! A croaking frog is a happy frog .

[Heatheranne]

Have you heard any more Boggie chirps?

[flybyferns]

I sure have!
Every night since.
Plus- HE has nuptial pads, Heath!



I am searching for something to determine the exact date I purchased him( as a sub-adult)?
I have written in more that one spot it was......11/09.
I have a feeling I actually have the year mixed up.
I am positive:
1- I have never heard him call
2- I have never seen nuptial pads

Maturity wise, 11/10 makes more sense to me. Time flies !!!!!!!
I will have to search emails to my son as I always share things like that with him.

I bought a new exo for the balck eyes !!!! They will be needing more space when the babies are w/ the Boggster!

[Heatheranne]

That is sooo awesome!
Congrats!!!

Which exo terra did you choose?

Which exo terra did you choose?

Heath,
I purchased the exo 36H x 24w . Good deal- I bribed my local herp joint. ( $229 )
The planters have been up for 11 days( silicone is finally dry !) the smell is gone.
I just need to mist it really well and give it the sniff test again.
The painting is done. The plants are detoxified .
Boggie will move in this weekend. No adjustment period expected.
It is as identical as possible. ( except 6 1/2" wider and 2 " deeper.
The screen top will be sooooooo much better!
The vertical conversion, in my opinion, is difficult to properly ventilate.
This weekend will be perfect as the temp in the basement will be 78 F.
They will all eventually need the room.
In fact, they should probably be in the 36 x36 where the red eyes are; but i'm not going to dare do that!!
I am adding an additional ( single) mist head.
My super-duper fabric substrate is cut, washed an ready to go!
( I found 2 new patterns--- leaves and sticks!!!) soft leaves and sticks lol

I just need ( muscles) to help me move it.
Talk to you soon !

Lynn

Awesome! Great idea of trying to duplicate it's look. I can hardly wait! I hope he will love it. I'll be exciting when the time comes for the babies to move in . It's a nice sized home.

Its fun following all of their progress .
