Tomato frogs update, watch them grow.
I'm just giving an update on my Tomatos that I got back in August. When I got them they were about the size of a nickel. Here's some pictures of when I got them..
And here are some pictures that I took today when I was spot cleaning their tank.The last two pictures are of their setup, fake plants and some real driftwood I got from Lake Superior.
They are doing really good and eat a lot... they probably go through 20 crickets a night give or take. I don't feed them every night anymore, but when I do they feast. They'll eat whenever I put food in there tank but I don't want to over feed them so I'm starting to slow down. I'm trying to get them started on nightcrawler chunks but they aren't to keen to them yet. They will lick at them once or twice then just give up. They'll normally take whatever I put in front of them with the tongs, but I rarely tong feed them.. only if I'm trying to get them to eat a worm or a roach or I'm just trying to interact with them more. They don't seem to mind the tong at first, but if they fail to grab the food after a couple tries they seem to get defensive and take their defense stance.. which is basically just flexing and bloating up, it's pretty funny. In the pictures you'll probably notice that one of their heads is a little lighter than the rest of their body.. I notice this happens sometimes when they are buried and their head is barely sticking out.. not sure why they do this. It usually goes back to normal when they come out for the night. In the third to last picture, she is clearly waiting for me to feed them.. but going to have to wait until tonight.
Anyways enjoy, I plan to show growth pics every 2 months or so.
