    Just watch out for heavy metals in well water. I have unchlorinated well water also, but the heavy metal content is ridiculously high. So I use bottled distilled dechlorinated water in my frog tank.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    I have a few of test kits for fish tanks, what should I use to test their water for heavy metal?
    I tested tap for Nitrite (NO2-) and Ammonia, (NH3, NH4+) Both tested clean. But Im sure those are both fish waste test. I cant find any more test I have....
    Distilled water, like the 98 cent stuff, will work?

    Ok so I did some research, I got distilled for the misting bottle, and I picked up some deer park (and a small thing of store brand for topping off) spring water for my frogs. My water did test positive for a heavy metal, but dont remember which one.

    I also picked up rep-cal advance formula herptivite with beta carotene for them (Rep-Cal Herptivite Reptile and Amphibian Multivitamins | Health & Wellness | PetSmart)

    I hope this is right. If I take a picture of the tank set up will you tell me if it looks right?


    Oh darn! sulfadiazine has sulfa, which im allergic to! another person would have to apply if I manage to afford it.
