Cant decide on new tree frog waxy or mossy?

[noob]

i want to get me some vietnamese mossy frogs. but i really want to get giant waxy monkey tree frog more and i dont know where to get the giants or mossy from. i have a few frogs right now i just want these because their both amazing.

so if i go with the giant waxy monkey tree frog i would like know if someone could put uf a site that sells them and a site for a care sheet.

but on the other hand the mossy frogs are looking amazing and i would like the same a site thats sells and a site for care.. ive looked around but i would like someone who has one to tell me or to send a link for a good site so i can get the tank set up good.

I personally like the Mossy frogs. I have two of them. I bought them at a reptile show here in N.C., but you can get them online as well. Before I bought them at the show I was going to get them from sunfire dragon ranch's online web site.

get waxy - that is like nothing else, not typical frog by all means.

[noob]

im sure im going to get both of them but i think i want to get the waxy first they look amazing. i just need to figure out where to get them. i might wait for November to roll around so i can go to repticon and get them.

hahaha now we're talking! good for you, please post pics when you get them.

get a few waxys - they like company, it is easy for you, you live in states, can get whoever you want over internet.

I'd definitely go with the Waxy first as well.. these frogs are amazing, I especially like the Phyllomedusa Bicolor and Sauvagi.. I would get some myself but my house gets a little cold in the winter and it's best to have them in a screen cage because they need lots of ventilation. Post some pics when you get them, noob.

pluke - i have them (3) in regular exo terra 18x18x24, with 3 lamps night (blue heat), day(basking) + UV, even though our house is not too warm either, but dreaming about getting 24x18x36 for them one day ( and possibly getting some more I didn't want to get all screen cage - it would be hard to keep heat. exo terra's are good for ventilation as long as it is big enough and top is not too covered, they sit by the top anyway.

my boys Ph. Sauvagi - both about 2.5'

Oh wow, they're gorgeous.. I love those faces. Hmm.. I have an empty exo terra 18x18x24.. I never see these frogs though, not even at the reptile expos. Pretty disappointing. These are probably my favorite of the tree frogs, I'm just so afraid to get them because my house literally stays around 60 degrees (Fahrenheit) in the winter. I've just heard these frogs are pretty fragile, what do you think? And also have you ever tried breeding them? :X

I have an empty exo terra 18x18x24.. :X

hahaha, oh those empty tanks :lol:

I don't know re heat, you gotta try, our house is pretty cold in winter too, but I have 2 heat lamps with a dimmers ( one for day and one for night) both 75W, so in a summer I'm turning it down ( ish) and when it's cold lamps are full on, no problems so far.

ever since i got a girl breeding is in my mind, but in a distant future if I ever have time to make a rainchamber and if my males won't be too intimidated by the size of her ( she is about 3'5, looks like waxy on steroids
love those frogs, usually when people are looking at them most are asking if they're real, not typical to see a frog basking in a sun with faces like that they look like Jedi ( sp?) from star wars and you are waiting to hear "may the force be with you" :lol:

I don't think they're fragile, if you keep them in proper conditions they're pretty sturdy, they're not stressing out much and if they do they're getting over it pretty fast. it's easy to judge if they're happy - if they are they are apple or bright green, if not - dull olive. for husbandry you should think of waxy as of bearded dragon who loves to sit high up on a branches and eats crickets

I have a Sauvagi! He's pretty awesome. I'm still worried about my husbandry with him, though. I'm wondering if perhaps moving him into an Exo Terra would be better for him or not? I have him in an all screen repti-breeze and he seems to just sit in one spot every day, however he's bright green. Does he just prefer "his spot"? Or perhaps I need to think about getting one or two more for him since they are communicable like I've heard.

[Lija]

mine sit in exactly same spots all day long too, sometimes all night as well and for a few nights in a row, but they are always sitting very close to each other a monster ( about 3.5' girl) and boys, we named her Fiona, cos she looks like it a bit, green and big
Kitten, I wouldn't stress out much if he is bright green

lija your frogs look amazing!... i heard that you have to have 50 gallons for one Phyllomedusa Bicolor. im really interested in them but i kinda have a hard time ordering them from a online store. sometimes they can mess up and send the wrong shipments or they might be dead and if i received a dead frog i would be devastated.
