    Default Re: Hey guys, new member...

    Thanks for the replies so far. To Jason, the guy at the pet store seemed a little put off when I mentioned I bought the first two at Petco. I understand he runs an independent business and they are the competition. This is our first venture into owning these types of frogs and Petco was the only place I could find initially that had them. I saw a lot of offerings online as well, not sure about ordering a live animal over the computer though. The two I bought from Petco seemed good so far. The brown is a bit larger than the other green one. I was worried initially it might bully the smaller one. I'm not sure what that type of behavior would look like, but this morning I saw them both sitting on the same leaf, so I took it as a good sign. The smaller one is on smaller crickets, and the big one grabbed a few, so that worried me a little. I was thinking later I might set the green aside with some crickets in a smaller enclosure, make sure she's getting fed if she's hungry. I told the store owner I already had two Whites at home, and he said his was CB and not to mix it with "that Petco fodder." I'd love to be able to co-house them so the blue guy wouldn't be by himself. I guess I could call the Petco where I bought them and see if they know if they were WC or CB. Is there a type of disease that would be readily apparent in the frogs that I could look out for before trying to mix them up? I will do my own research but a couple pointers to start out would be appreciated. As for your last comment, I hate roaches. I'm cool with feeding it pretty much anything else, but I hate those things...

    To Xavier, yeah I don't have a lighting set up right now. I've read in a few different places about 75 w bulbs, and running one during the day and one at night. The temp in my house is always around 70 degrees, and that's what they were at the petstore as well, so I haven't used any bulbs yet. Are they safe at 70 degrees? I will look into the UVB light though, the vitamin D3 thing makes sense to me. I live in WA state and take D3 myself, no sun here most days :P

    I will take some photos this evening to share with you guys. I didn't jump for the big Xterra terrarium, as this is kind of a trial thing for my son to see how it turns out. They do have a nice terrarium though. Let me know your thoughts/recommendations, and thanks again for the quick replies!
