    Default New RETFs

    So I got a couple of Red-Eyed Leaf Frog (no names yet) at the NY reptile expo, how's my setup?
    10 gallon tall
    75 F temp
    80% humidity
    water bowl
    coco fiber substrate
    artificial vines and plants
    heat mat
    40 watt night glo bulb (I also have a 75 watt heat glo/night glo, if that would be better)

    I just realized I might have to get a new food source, my dubia roaches seem to be too big for these guys and I doubt they could find the babies. any suggestions...fruit flies or small crickets

    I was working at Blackjungle's area all day. You should have said hello. We were selling captive bred Red Eyes and Red Eye tadpoles too. I suspect you got yours from Regal Reptiles, who where next to us?

    Looking at your pics, I would say Drosophila hydei (fruit flies), bean weevils, and 1/4" or smaller crickets. Remember to dust your feeder insects and feed them to your frogs just before putting the lights out for the evening. Since you will be feeding very small feeder insect, most of which can climb glass, I would cut a piece of cloth a little bit bigger to the width and length of the tank. I would tape it down tightly to the frame to prevent escape.

    Oh I had know idea people would be there, I believe I remember the booth with the raise your own retf kit (was a bit too worried about that lol) and various darts? I got mine from a different aisle, I forget their name. If I would have known I would have stopped by and said hey.

    and I guess I'll go with the small crickets, I don't know much about fruit flies. I'll also try to attempt and feed them dubia nymphs, not really sure how i must admit but we'll see.
