    looks like a kong coleus plant, not sure if it would be good for a whites, as for the pots they break down over time, in my build im using plastic pots that have perforations, I think I saw them on joshes frogs, the pots you have are made to decompose over time you might want to go in another direction with the pots, good luck cant wait to see the finished product

  3. This member thanks canadian frog for this post:

    Im not so sure about the plant you want to use but you can use the pots if you want but
    they usually get soggy when over watered. I would use the plastic pots so the water wouldn't
    seep into the great stuff.

    Thanks guys.

    I know the pots will break down that's why I was asking if they would work. Thinking the Great stuff dries firm and then I would just have a void so to speak where the pot was. I will pick up the net pots.

    The plant, according to the google image search based off of "coleus plant" is called "Coleus silk stocking." LLLreptile states that Coleus plants are safe for amphibians but I also read somewhere they are a type of nettle. Sadly, Super hubby is highly allergic to nettle so I won't be getting one. Just don't want to risk Super Hubby.

    Off the subject. Finally caught Hopper in his water dish

    I love the jiffy pots for propagation . Seeing the frog in the water is awesome, right!?

    I don't know if coleus is frog safe but lllreptile lists it as a safe non-toxic plant for a terrarium. I do know they can get tall and leggy if you don't cut them back sometimes.

    I have been so worried that he hasn't been getting into the water! I knew he got into the water when I had the glass dish in but I switched it out for a "real" water bowl. Haven't seen it since. I am hoping he poops! If he hasn't by this afternoon, he is in for a rude awakening. I have to clean the tank so he can sit in warm dechlor water while I am cleaning it out. He's still eating and acting as normal as he has but no poop in a week?!
