    Default Theloderma corticale (Vietnamese Mossy Frog)

    Hi guys.. i am trying to breeding the vietnamese mossy tree frog since last year... finally last month my frogs have lay 40 plus eggs (the eggs were protected with jelly like gel) on my lava rocks... so i decide to took them out and put them in all in a container and fill it with 2-3mm of water so that it doesnt dry up...but after the 4 days,the eggs seem to turn mouldy... and on the 6 days all didnt make.
    Yesterday the same breeding pair lay another 30 plus eggs .... what should i do with it?

    A fren of mine told me to leave the eggs on the lava rocks that the frogs lay on.. the lava rocks now is place in a pail with some water in it but all the eggs are all above water level.

    1) Between does the mossy's eggs need to be in water?

    2) I think that the jelly like gel protecting the eggs can help in protecting the eggs from drying up... true?
    3) i also think since the frog lay the eggs above the my tank's water .. i think the egg should be fine without water...if not the frog should have lay the eggs under water stick to the rocks instead..

    help needed ...
    thanks

    Definitely leave the eggs on the rocks. Moving them from the rocks will most certainly damage them. As for the water level, leave it just like it was in the tank where the frogs laid the eggs. Also, make sure that the humidity is still high where you're keeping the eggs. If you're up for an experiment, try leaving the eggs in with the frogs. There is a chance that they will get eaten or damaged and won't hatch, but there is also a chance that they will survive. Again, if you move them, be very careful. Try to replicate the conditions as well as you can.

    check the eggs ...some of them seem to be ok with small tapole like in the eggs but there are some that are like getting mouldy... doesnt look to good...between will the mouldy eggs spoil the rest of the eggs too as each eggs got jelly to protect it...

    If you can remove the moldy eggs without damaging or greatly disturbing the others, I would.

    There really isn't much difference in price between WC and CB here. Both run between $50 and $80. That being said, most of the CB are very young while most of the WC are sub-adult to adult.
