Hi Jen! Have medical appointment tomorrow morning so will jump the gun and post some pics now. First my new Pixie, lets see what members think is species and if M or F. Was told this frog is a over 1 year old (1.5?) and it's exactly 3 in. SVL. Sorry for pic quality but they were taken with my cellphone and one through the top mesh (needed the light).







And here is Fresita (Strawberry Pineapple) as a cute baby and a bigger juvenile.

Some pics of Stilgar my first frog (male GABF) as a baby and growing to around 5 in. SVL.







And here is the second frog, a C. cranwelli Pacman.





Will upload some more stuff tomorrow afternoon .

Congrats Carlos,

Keep posting in other areas of the forum - not spamming and not just to increase post count - but genuine, creative, encouraging, knowledgeable, helpful posts and in time I am sure some one will nominate you. Nominations are often in the form of "So-and-so gave great advice/really helped me out/put together an awesome tank and I want to know more about them/their methods" etc.

Carlos - your frogs are lovely! I don't mind you beating me to the punch! Hope your morning goes well!

Thank you Lynn and Mark! I'll answer your question soon Mark; want to make sure don't give you bad advice ! Yes, Lynn, Stilgar was a little playful monster and it was hard to take my tanks and enclosures down and get my pets adopted. Sold a lot of equipment too; but still got enough around for starting a few projects. Will be posting in the vivarium section and ask you guys for help with decor.

OK; just had some nice homemade chicken soup and ready to upload more pics. My left shoulder is unhappy because the Dr. gave it a shot with a big cocktails of steroids, painkillers, and anti-inflammatories. Physical Therapy starts next week, happy, happy, joy, joy !

A trio of P. terribilis that was for sale at a local store (such a temptation).



Green is nice, but I like these blue ones too:
