    Smile New to the forum!

    Hello, everyone!

    I am new here on frogforum.net! I had attempted an enclosure in the past for dart frogs, but used the wrong silicone. I posted it on another site (hopefully you can see it if you are not a member...I started there bc I was going to do darts, but that has changed!).

    That build left me rather discouraged, and I decided that I did not have the space to do fruit flies (nor was my boyfriend willing to have them flying or crawling all around)! Well, it's been 2 years. I am with the same man and ready to start again (but still no flies. Haha!). I would like to keep Red-Eyed Leaf Frog's. I am a biologist with experience in fish (salt/fresh), hermits, and plants. I've worked in pet stores and briefly with the national zoo in the Amazonia House. All of that base leaves me confident in my ability to take on some tree frogs!

    I will post a game plan and viv journal in the appropriate section (once I find it). For a teaser let's go with....29 gallon vert viv build, great stuff, 100% silicone. Enough said?

    Welcome to the forum .

    Darts are awesome. I'm a tad partial to cobalts and imitators . Tree frogs are fun too. Red eyes are so cute, I have 7. If you have any questions, ask away. Flybyferns is another fantastic reference for you. There are lots of other members who have red eyes too, that I'm sure would love to lend an ear and some recommendations.

    Ah, a biologist...I am thinking we may even have a few questions for you .

    Again, welcome!

    welcome to the forum!! after reading your intro i have the feeling you wish you had gone with the flies and changed guys....LOL seriously though, darts are very cool. so are red eyes. Heather ^ and Lynn are brilliant when it comes to red eyes, and they are getting smarter everyday when it comes to darts just watch out for Heather, she's a trouble maker.....LOL

    good luck with the build, i'll be seeing you in the viv and plant forums (my normal stomping grounds )

    Wow! Thanks for all the warm welcomes! What a great community. I hope I can be an active part. Just placed my first order with Josh's for some tank supplies...conversion kit, cork, the usual. Lots of things going on this next week, but I hope to get some work in on the tank. Still tossing ideas around. Maybe I'll start that thread and ask for some advice tomorrow on the best layout for the RETF's.

    Thanks again for the warm welcome.
