Eric's frog bunker

[Eric Walker]

So its been awhile since iv been active on most of the forums. After selling off most of my geckos and frogs in preparation for a move into our new home iv finally gotten things back on track and wanted to share the progress so far. There is PLENTY of work still to be done but Im happy with it so far. Here's a few shots of the general space Im working with to start.

Main part of the man cave. All vivs are intended for darts. Most have been growing in for around 5 months.



135 gallon on hold for a bit.



Secondary tiled room just to the right of the main rack.

very cool Eric. i'm jealous actually, i wish i was that organized......LOL

[Eric Walker]

Thanks bill. Don't know why that first picture didn't work. ill try again.

[Bdimas]

Looks great dude. So do you have frogs now?

[Eric Walker]

Ok so fixing the first picture messed up the last picture for some reason.
thanks. yes. I have six species currently.

[Eric Walker]

the tiled portion one more time.

[Bdimas]

Awesome! Nicely organized man.

[aGreenCup]

The setup is awesome dude. What kind of stands are you using to double stack your tanks?

[Eric Walker]

Just the heavy duty racks from home depot. Maby lowes. Don't remember. Got them on sale cheap and they hold a ton of weight. Only problem was the standard planks that came with it were like partical board and they bowed.so they have been swapped out for 3/4" hardwood sheeting. Took care or that problem real easily. I think one brand was gorilla rack maybe. Most of those vivs are 40breeders. The square ones are 30's

[aGreenCup]

Kool, thanks for the information. I need to pick up a rack or build one. I have three 10 gallon tanks that I need to organize better.

I never understood why they use such a sturdy metal frame and cruddy particle board.
I really like that your man cave is a frog haven. maybe one day I will have a woman cave for all my herpes.

[NatureLady]

Awesome frog bunker!!! I also need a woman cave like this!!!

I have an odd room in my house that the seller called a pantry. It currently has all of the animal stuff in it. 3 viv's, cat stuff, the dogs stuff, plus a china hutch that I am about to take the top part off so I can put the new mossy viv on. So it is slowly becoming my corner of the house. Just not big enough for people furniture! lol

Welcome back, Eric !!!

The clay pots are a great solution !
Beautiful frogs

I like your 'quote'. Society is always in a 'pickle', isn't' it ?

[Eric Walker]

Thanks Lynn.

That quote is something I beleave in fully. Freedom is not free at all.

The terra cotta pots work great. My theloderma asperum actually prefer to climb down inside and lay around the inner surface. I guess its close to a tree hollow and feels very safe.

[Eric Walker]

Full shot of my pictus tank. This is also how I keep my theloderma asperum for breeding





and a not to great shot of one of my Solomon island eyelash frogs basking which i didn't think they do. This is just a growout for them until they go into a 40breeder

[helm96]

Awesome man. Beautiful frogs. I am in the process of slowly finishing my basement then all my frogs will move to my man cave. All except my Whites, they will stay next to the couch; they like to watch hockey with me!

[Eric Walker]

A few more shots of the Solomon's taken with my new phone. Camera is actually pretty good on this one and let's me focus pretty close.

[Eric Walker]

A few T. asperum tads about to drop

One of three veradero froglets I was finally able to catch and remove.





And a really cool fungus thats been hanging around for over a week now. Looks like some sort of coral fungus.
