    Haha, that's perfectly fine! I'm still reading, so nothing set up yet.
    I do have a problem I have to solve first, and that is temperature. There are a few months of the year where it is in the 80's, even the high 80's in the house. So, I'm doing some reading to see if anyone has used something like a misting system with a cool water reservoir to keep temps down in their tank. It wouldn't take much at all to take it down 10 degrees, but, I haven't found anything about that yet..
    Or, I may just find that really limits the species I can choose from. I would never have thought really that South and Central American frogs would need cooler temperatures then our house. But, that's what it looks like!
    We have a place called the Reptile Discovery Center near us, so we were there today looking at their frog setups to get ideas.

    I have extreme temp conditions in my house during the year...in the winter, parts of my house freeze and in the summer, the inside of an oven on broil is cooler!! During the summer months, I do constant misting with cool water and my African Giant Bullfrogs and Fire Belly Toads all have dishes filled to the brim with water. So far, I haven't lost any frogs or toads to over-heating. A misting system would be an excellent idea....I am sure someone on the Forum has experience with them and could help you.
