Greetings

im just worried about what will come next. maybe fish...or if i can sell my ball pythons, (in a 55g breeder) a land/water tank with some frogs and fish....

[1beataway]

A 55 gallon with 30 fire-belly toads? Or with like 7 White's tree frogs? Or with tons of clown tree frogs? Or a few Malaysian leaf frogs?

Or, get smaller tanks for the frogs and put a baby gator in there to start with.

i could probably handle a drawf caimen, those suckers only get to 3 feet or so. ideally i'd like a semi-aquatic frog and some fast breeding fish to feed the frogs so to have a near self-sustaining ecosystem. or just a colony of something...the 30 firebellies would be cool, although i'd have no idea what to due with the offspring

[1beataway]

I'm not sure what it takes for them to have babies....they're the friskiest little creatures, but my friend has 10 of them and they have all the fun without the babies. I work at a petstore too and they never have babies.

[FrogSplash]

thats good to hear. something like that will be the next project

[1beataway]

I would like fire-belly toads too, but I have no room. They seem so fun when in a large group.

how many fire bellies could you put in a 55g breeder (comfortably) that was maybe 60/40 land water or visa versa? which combo would be best

Paleosuchus get up to four feet in length and even though they are the smallest of the crocodilians, they are pound for pound some of the meanest SOB's on the planet. Last Tueday I saw a pair of adult dwarf caiman housed with some alligators and a nile crocodile. Of the critters in the enclosures, I would only trust the alligators.
Also that night my knee was about four inches from the business end of a cobra. Now that gets your blood pumping.

My understanding is that you need to cool fire-bellies to get them to produce eggs.

that sounds like a walk in the park, especially after having to deal with a female tokay gecko. now thats a mean little package. maybe if i can sell my ball pythons, i can fund a massive firebelly project n one of my 55g breeders provided it doesnt go with the snake

[Kurt]

A tokay can't tear your limbs off.

hehe a caimen isint really on my wish list. i dont want the responsibility of taking care of a true beast. the biggest i'd ever be willing to go is some type of monitor or a green iguana. those at least are more reasonable than a croc
