My hope is it's a reversible thing using calcium/vitamins supplements. I didn't even think to ask if the previous keeper used them so I've sent out an e-mail to her today. I didn't plan on it, but it looks like I'll be setting up my Exo Terra 18x18x24 for Grays now. Good thing I'm well stocked on supplies.

Meshack checking out the new Magnatural small hide
Morph enjoyed the new piece of cork bark in the toad viv.
Morph just cracks me up.
Shadrack has claimed this as her sleeping spot. It's big enough that all three can sqeeze into it, but I might get the next size up. I purchased the large one, which is way to big for the frogs, but the snakes enjoy it.

Ok, revamped the Whites Tree Frog tank over the past few days and finally completed this. This will be much easier to clean and tear down when needed. I've done away with the real plants and went with all fake ones. Bottom is a layer of hydro balls, spagnum moss & topped off with coco fiber mat. I love being able to let feeders run loose and watching the frogs stalk their dinner. They also have several places to sleep during the day now and hope they enjoy their new vamped home as much as I enjoy having them.
This was the tank prior, now it looks kinda bare.

The only "issue" is I don't see them now, so many places for them to tuck into and get outta sight. I guess that makes for happy frogs but not-so-happy frog watcher. Tell tale signs that they've been out at night is the poop in the water dish, and small pieces of sphagnum moss dragged outta the hides. I'm trying to find some shag moss to tuck into the hides, seems everyone is either out, or shipping is outrageous.

I do think they'll be happy.
Yes, I've had trouble finding java moss also.

Josh's use to carry this, but I recv'd an e-mail back saying they won't be restocking this item. Figures./

Black jungle does too, but they've been out if it online. They bring it to the reptile shows.

I found a seller on Esty, and it's frog save. Yeah for me. Now if I can find the one big perfect piece of driftwood. I need to visit my sister, she lives on Camano Island in WA and the driftwood is amazing out there.

Update on the baby Grey's. The one with the extended throat was euthanized on Friday. It became very bloated and it's breathing stained and seemed to “gasp” for air. It was getting progressively worse with each day. Now the other one is doing great, even started eating pinhead crickets from the tongs. Lil' Bugger is also doing great and slowly growing.
This is Morph doing his "dog show" pose.

Since the WTF make-over it takes a little longer for a head count since they have more places to tuck into now. I finally found Meshack blending in with his surroundings. Also I love the Magnatural hides, I have all three sizes plus two of the large shelves.

Rufus decided to grace me with his presence yesterday. Came up, ate a couple of butter worms, not just sitting in the substrate with his head pokin' out. I'm sure he's not done with his winter sleep yet, but I'll take any moments I can get.

This is either T.Toad or Runway, can't tell unless they are side by side. Either way, both of these females are going to be released come spring. They are 2012 spring toadlets that I've kept, but they do not do well in captivity, spending 98% of their time burrowed under the substrate. Last winter they were underground for a steady 7 months and when they came up they ate anything and everything that moved in front of them.

Morph's the only toad above ground right now, and actually he doesn't burrow at all, just hangs above ground soaking & eating, and doing what toads do best........sitting. The dude has got some thick arms on him with attitude to boot! Maybe I should rename his Arnold.
