The gang

[kueluck]

Some times you just have to say "NO".........but not this time. I picked these 2 up over the weekend at a pet shop. Went looking for WTF, but couldn't resist them since I already had a wonder planted tank going strong for over 2 years, perfect residents for this 20 gallon. So now I have 2 frog vivs, 1 toad viv, and one huge Garter snake cage all in the living room....gives new meaning to "living" room.

Turns out Frog I is a male. TJ just called me into the living room, "somethings make a noise in that tank" Yup, throad all puffed out, but didn't get to hear him, dang it.

CUTE!! No wonder you couldn't resist them. What are they?

[kueluck]

American Green Tree Frogs. They are native to us and I see tons of them when we go to Pettigrew State Park in NC, and in Cheraw State Park S.C. during mating season it's almost deafening.

The wait is OVER!! Neighbor emailed me at work yesterday......Petco in G'boro has Whites Tree Frog. I called, and a few hours later, well, let me just show you.


They had the bigger one for over a month & it was housed with about 10 small ones. Right now I have them in separate tanks, since the little ones might let lost in the big tank. All are eating, soaking, pooping and seem to adjusting well to life in the Hill House. They are just CRAZY CUTE!!!!

Ok, I know I haven't had them but what, a day and a half, but I'm already concerned about the leaders behavior, which is the big one. At this point I refer to them as The Three Amigos until sex is determined. So, like I said the leader does not hang out on top like most tree frogs do, stays more to the bottom of the viv. Eating well, soaking, I haven't seen poop yet from this one, but at Petco all poop was well formed. All three are very alert and OH MY GOSH, personality galore in each one. Could the viv be to heavily planted? Temps range in degrees from 68 on bottom to 80 on top, humidity ranges from 50-70%. I also don't see much jumping and hopping around, more like stalking through the undergrowth in a kinda creepy looking way. I'm used to gray & green tree frogs that hop all over the glass & leap from branch to plant, so is this normal for WTF? I also feed them in a separte container, no free running feeders in the viv. I hope to get them to tong feed once they get comfortable in their new home.

The leader is behind a piece of cork bark on the bottom, in the back of the viv.
Looks healthy and alert to me.
