Welcome to the forum. "All are welcome. All welcome."

I'm a turtle guy too. One tortoise and the the rest are pond turtles. No box turtles though...

I'm somewhat new to PDF's so any advice I give you is from personal and anecdotal experience. These frogs are very hardy and you don't need to be some great expert to raise them successfully.

1. Don't rush. Taken your time setting up your vivarium. I have both aquariums and several Exo Terra's. I like standard aquariums better because they are cheaper, more easily acquired, and I can control heat and humidity better. I use the back plastic strip that comes with the glass canopy to control humidity by drilling holes in them. If I need to increase the humidity then I just cover them with Saran Wrap? You don't need to start with fancy or expensive plants like you see in some people's enclosures. Most of the plants I have are from Wal-Mart or Home Depot. The exception being bromeliads like Neoregalias. As a matter of fact every new tank I've set up has been planted with cuttings from other tanks.

I like the idea of letting your tank grow in for awhile before you actually add frogs. I recently set-up a 38 gallon tank and it's been growing in for the last 30 days. I'm about ready to add my froglets any day now. Maybe even today!

My first tank I let grow in for nearly 2 1/2 months before adding my frogs.

2. Don't mix species.

3. Don't crowd the tank.

4. If you choose Tincs then know that they climb. I think they are considered a mostly terrestrial species but every single one of mine climbs.

Those are some of my basics but just ask anyone here and we'll help you. Good luck!!!
