    True it is a nice adjustment but in Indiana you can have thunderstorms and tornadoes one day and a blizzard the next which did happen rather recently. Been in the low teens/20's for a while then we get a nice day like tomorrow then the next will be back to cold again lol

    About the latex gloves, here's an interesting pdf I just found from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums on the handling of amphibians (this is a 5mb, 236 page pdf):

    http://www.aza.org/uploadedFiles/Con...ourceGuide.pdf

    It recommends non-powdered latex or vinyl gloves for amphibians, but suggests (page 121) that latex gloves may be harmful to tadpoles and other larvae.

    They cite this study,

    Cashins, S., R.A. Alford, and L.F. Skerratt. 2008. Lethal effect of latex, nitrile, and vinyl gloves
    on tadpoles. Herpetological Review 39:298-301.

    Whose full pdf (yayy!) is available here Lethal effect of latex, nitrile, and vinyl gloves on tadpoles - ResearchOnline@JCU

    (I haven't read it yet, but the summary suggests well rinsed vinyl is less hazardous then nitrile or latex)

    Thanks Brian. Great information!!!! It's exciting when you 'get' the complete PDF and not merely an abstract! If you come across something you can't access; let me know. I can likely get it for you , and I'm confident you will use proper citation.

    I never used gloves w/powder but was using latex for a bit.
    Powdered free vinyl from now on.
    Common sense !

    tank black out is almost complete just doing small portions here and there. I didn't notice really any smell from the paint itself. Just need to finish the 3rd coat on the left panel then its done

    Turned out great, got side tracked lately but its 90% done, no issues that I've observed. I will post pics soon.

    Funny thing is they can now really see their reflection sometimes thinking it's another frog.
