Getting there...

Yeah I thought an extra 10w would be ok but I just wanted to check
I think its the best way to get the conditions right first, then you have more chance of a longer living happy frog! So thanks Greg!

Mchell your in the NW like me, so we must have a similar climate and if your 50w works well I guess mine will too. Im in Blackpool by the way, you?

Hi yes Im just across the water in sunny Southport ha ha , as pointed out about substrate avoid moss , I ended up taking it out . I use zoo med Eco earth ,You can get 3 bricks on ebay I have had Rolo over 5 months now and he is ace(never been bitten) where are you getting yours from? I heard there is a good rep shop near you.

Thanks Carlos for the advice, I'll do just that! I ordered the 3 bricks of Eco-earth too Mchelle. The shop is called The Retile Room, they are good at what they do with snakes but the frogs are all on moss etc. Plus they are a right set of ignorant, rude and arrogant b*******s! I haven't decided yet where to get it from, maybe Emsworth as my dad has had some good quality snakes from there?

Yeah sadly many places are like that, I got mine from Dobbies and they had him on loads of moss. They all found it funny to feed him pinkies all the time and from what I heard gathered around to watch , He would of been tiny when they got him . Just before I took him home The girl said he had ate a whole mouse ( I cringed) he bit her when she tried to pick him up ha ha. I have just cleaned him out ,working around him he sits nicely and calmly, then I gently give him a nudge and he moves for me, he then turns around to watch what Im doing . He is ace , but did have problems pooping when I first got him. A few honey baths helped and he is Ok now and not been fed pinkies by me yet.
