Clearing up a few discrepancies

[acpart]

Nice to see a fellow gecko enthusiast here. I know nothing about pacman frogs (isn't that an old computer game?); I have a trio of RETF which is why I'm on this forum. There has been a lot of discussion about providing UV with lights vs. supplements. I've chosen to use a UV light because I worry that the crickets will have groomed all the supplements off themselves by the time the frogs get to eat them. I've actually never seen any of my frogs eat, but the place has frog poop and the crickets are disappearing so I figure it's circumstantial evidence.

Yep, lots of discussions regarding geckos and UVB, but pacman frogs are different and red eyes are different too.

Feed at night to prevent that. Calcium is still important even when using UVB, though the d3 isn't as your tree frogs and geckos will make it's own under the lights

@Lija - HI! I'm definitely going to be searching for a pair of E. Agricolae at Tinley. It's the next gecko I'm going to be adding to my breeding projects. They're just so cute!!
I have a 12gram baby Yate x Morro leachie kiddo that is pretty sweet right now. He's eating like it's going out of style and is great with handling so far. I'm hoping that with continued hand taming he remains calm as an adult.

@acpart - Hey Aliza!! It's good to see you on all three of the forums that I'm on! I didn't know you had red eyed tree frogs! I just know you for all your geckos. You'll have to share photos with me some time!

@jasonm96 - I will order some calcium plus ASAP! It's a Repashy product? Perhaps you could link it for me?

I ended up setting up a tank and tested heating and humidity while I was on lunch break at work yesterday. When I got home the temperature was sitting at 80F and the humidity was at about 80%. Sooooo we went around to see if anyone had any pacmans. We'll I found a big old albino (I believe) female (fairly certain). She's been named Blinky (one of the Pacman ghost's names). I put her in her new home and let her settle in for the night. When I checked and sprayed down all the kids this morning, she had found her little rock cave and made herself at home by taking the BIGGEST poop I've ever seen from a little frog. LOL I'm going to try tong feeding her tonight.

Note: I was going to upload a photo but seem to be having trouble. Every time I try to upload an image, it tells me it's not a valid file type. I've tried just about every file type and it's definitely not too large of a photo too.... I'm at work and maybe something is preventing it from uploading on my end...
Perhaps I'll try again when I'm at home. Or if someone knows what's happening, let me know.

Hello, seems every ones got you covered so just wanted to pop in and say congrats on your new little chunky friend. And yes they take huge stinky poops L.O.L, and that's a good sign he/she pooped for you right away. Now you know its not impacted or anything. Again Congrats and hope you enjoy your new friend.

Yeah, it's probably the best supplement there is IMO and doesn't smell like others. Here's there product http://www.store.repashy.com/calcium-plus-4-oz-bag.html

Use it every feed as it says on the tub. Could also be good for your geckos but personally I use the LoD (low vitamin D) version for my crested gecko as it's under UVB lights but that definitely won't be a possibility with your albino horned frog.

The site doesn't work that well with images, so you have to upload it on a picture hosting site and then copy the link.

Thanks for the link! I'll make an order in the next few days.
I'll try to upload some photos later when I get home from work, since most photo sharing websites are blocked by my work.
