Congratulate me! i got my Azureus!

i hated waiting until the weekend so i talked my hubby into leaving work early and driving to scranton with me. Both frogs about 14 months old but were not kept together. I have them each in QT tanks and the female has already given a fecal sample. LOL.

This is Darla Dart Frog ( i am told she is from Kevin Hoff lines. i don't know about KH.never heard of him)



And d'Artagnan Dart Frog. I am told he is from Saurian Enterprises.


better pic of his fingertips


now i need my springtails and isopods to get this vivarium going.

Oh Colleen, they are ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice and fat too! Ik you'll spoil them! They will be well looked after!

[ColleenT]

thanks i am so excited. i wish my viv was done and i wish my qt time was done. they don't seem to love QT but i am going to send fecals for testing and then maybe i'll let them out of QT early, just bc the previous owner had a fecal on each of them about a year ago and they were both negative. if my fecals come back negative, then i would feel ok putting them together. - oh they never met each other yet, b/c the guy only had them in 10 gallons each, he has been out of work for a long time and could not get a bigger tank for them so that is why he sold them. i hope they enjoy each having a friend- when the big day comes..

Hi Colleen,
I purchased frogs directly from Kevin Hoff, ( my P terribilis ) he is a respected ? private breeder.
They have been very healthy. I would have no problem buying from Kevin again.

Congratulations...they are beautiful
Best of luck with them

Congrats !

[ColleenT]

Excellent. glad to know i got some respectable frogs. LOL.

[ColleenT]

oh and i just spent over $100 at NEHERP. how is it so easy to spend so much money of such little animals?

[Frogman1031]

Cute!! Glad you found something there too! All mine look the same to me and i cant tell them apart! I love the blue so much but i heard they get aggressive so i got leucs lol

[ColleenT]

yeah, i am trying to figure out who is female or male. it's tricky. i was hoping the new guy would call, but not yet. he might be too stressed out.

[deranged chipmunk]

So true, Colleen. Money goes so fast when it comes to frogs. I know that Bill spends hundreds of dollars on plants alone

Yup, plants are my biggest expense, but it's not hard to spend big bucks on our little phib friends. But SO worth it!!

Once you get them in their permanent home, you should be able to tell better. In the meantime, try giving an extra heavy evening misting and you may be surprised with a male calling

Grats Colleen! He (hopefully!) is B E A Utiful!

thanks everyone. i had a great time today. i saw 4 mossy frogs, and i was so in love. but did not have the money for them or the habitat, but the seller was super nice. i also saw Pink/purple atelopus frogs/toads. they were only going for $75 each, and there were different vendors with them, so i was glad to see them out in the public. i got some awesome springtails the entire container was hopping. great show today.

Hi Coleen,
Congratulations
It's contagious - right !

I'm assuming you went to the White Plains show?
It's a great show. I missed today's show.... first one I missed in a very long time.
If you went to WP--- then you got to visit BJ's table !!

It's really great you are doing the QT properly
Way too people skip that

I forget.... How old are- ALL - of them ?

[ColleenT]

the 2 frogs i have originally are both about 14 months old. the new guy is about 11 months. the new guy was bought from genesis exotics, but did not know the line. i have been to WP before, but it's been a few years. it was very clean and great vendors today. makes me never want to go back to Hamburg.

Yes Eli, there is --- please see the VM I will be leaving for you

i did not get the frog from Genesis, the person i bought it from did. he told me the frog is about 11 months old, but that is all he could tell me. i guess he got it when it was a baby. i have had a difficult time getting the frogs to pose correctly for me, so i will keep trying. if i have 3 females it is fine as long as they all get along. if i have 2 males still fine with that. so whatever happens is ok unless i have 1 male and the females fight. then i will sell one of the females.
