New to Frogs

[Paul Rust]

Kurt, half the fun is imagining where they might be....

I know where they are.

[Jace]

Okay, smarty pants-how many do I have, where are they and what are they of??? Just as I thought.....hehehehe.

[lnaminneci]

Hmmmm......anyone want to take a guess at mine?

[lnaminneci]

It looks like "Niko" might be female. It is the green one. Here's a close up pic. What do ya'll think? May have to change the name to "Nicollete".

[Jace]

From the pic I would say Niko is a girl-quite a beauty, too. I think Niko sitll works for her and it goes well with Pako!

Hmmmm......anyone want to take a guess at mine?

I would, but my imagination would get me into a lot of trouble.

Looks like I've narrowed it down to Exo Terra Terrarium 18x18x24 with natural rock background. Found one on sale!!

Live plants I would like to plant:
iceplant, leatherleaf fern, macodes petola, wandering jew 'red', neoregelia scarlet or grace, pilea 'baby tears', philodendrons, peacock spike moss, leucobryum glaucum, and possibly a sprinkle of red lichen for interest.

I like the assortment of textures, colors, and variety. I also would like river rock leading to a "bathing area". And a few climbing and hiding places built in. Playing with different ideas. What do you think?

Since it looks like I have 2 girls....I'm gonna look for a boyfriend for them.

Sounds like a great idea for a setup. I can't wait to see pics of it when it is done. Lucky little frogs! Is the backgound a styrofoam type? My exo-terra came with one and I ended up taking it out as the crickets would hide behind it and the poor frogs would never get a meal. Otherwise, I love these terriariums.

[lnaminneci]

It does. One of the features that sold me on it, because the froggies would have another climbing feature. I will have to watch for a cricket hiding problem.

That leads me to a cricket question. How long do crickets live? I have had a few die after a day, in a roomy container with just 20 crickets plenty of room for them, with an apple slice, small piece of bread, and some droplets of water (so they won't drown). And a piece of egg crate to climb on. So why do you think they are dying ?
