    Derezzed thank you for the reply. I have a shoe box bin setup for them now with a lid. The previous bin I used didnt have a lid so I moved this most recent clutch into the Viv while I waited to replace the bin. I am going to let this clutch finish in the tank and then see how ti goes from there with the next clutch in the new bin.

    I hear you on the Vit A and have no way honestly to quantify the amount of Vit A that the Vents actually consume monthly. Mostly because it is really dependent on how much of the powder the flies clean off them before the vents eat them. Between the 2 doses of Vit A a month and the Calcium Plus (which has Vit A in it as well ((even though it is a small amount)) ) will have to be good enough until I am presented with a solid reason for upping the dosage. I really can't up it just because I am concerned something May or may not happen. I will keep that in mind though if froglets have SLS.

    Thanks!

    Wish it was a better angle, but I rushed it. I saw them in there and just placed the camera on the top glass and went to work. Had to dig through 5 hours of video to pull that 14 mins out. Was some cool footage of the female standing over the clutch and moving it around with her feet like she was trying to put the eggs just how she wanted them. Then she left to eat and the male came back and did the same thing. Unfortunately to include all that the video would have been over an hour long.

    Also for future reference. Would y'all prefer some music imbedded in the video or is silence ok. I stripped the audio out cause who wants to listen to a space heater running for 14 mins.

    All 4 tads have hatched out and are now in the tadpole containers. If this keeps up I will quickly be overrun with Vent tadpoles. They are laying an average of 5 eggs every 5 days.

    Going to let this thread end with this.

    I think I finally FINALLY have things dialed in for the eggs. Tadpoles in cups and eggs developing with little to no failures. The vents have moved to depositing clutches every 3 days and are totally insane!

    The steps that have shown consistent success for me is as follow.

    1. Pull eggs at 48 hours
    2. Place canister in petri dish
    3. Add tadpole tea to petri dish (enough to get water into canister and around eggs)
    4. Place petri dish in plastic shoe box container
    4a. Shoe box has paper towels on the bottom and enough distilled water to cover the paper towel.
    5. Heat shoe box to high 70's constantly
    6. Wait for tadpoles to hatch


    For whatever reason the distilled water on it's own was adding to my failure rate, or it seems like it was based on my experience.

    Thanks for reading along!

    Paul
