Thanks man! Lucky, I wish I had some just now! Question: have you found a basking spot to be important? I'm having trouble with this, some sources say yes and others say no

[jasonm96]

More eggs which look fertile and also a tadpole. I know it's probably the easiest of all to breed but can't help be happy as this is a first lol. Hopefully will have froglets to trade/sell at some point

I have had basking light and no basking light and have noticed they do seem to like it. Its just a Zoo Med UVB bulb that is about 14" away and shines on a flat rock that they like to hang out on. Other than that I use LED lights on other parts of the tank for the plants. Not all like to bask but some do.

My variegata won't stop too, can hear them from the other room lol. When I had orientalis they did the same.

That sucks, must be gutting. I've heard other people having these problems too. When I first got mine they were very small, but not just straight out the water. They basked quite a lot then, but did not eat well at all unless kept warm. I might try raising mine warm (if I'm lucky enough to get them to toads) in tanks with lots of aquatic plants and cork bark raft, so I don't have to really mess about with them. Cheers

Congrats man, get ready to be a busy guy. L.O.L And I say that because I know how many other animals you have to take care of.

Cheers, I'm a grandfather!! Haha, it's nuts I have my own little zoo! Think I'm going to set some of the tanks bio-active so less work

Your going to need a 2nd job just to feed your animals, especially now that you have these on top of your little tank you purchased awhile back. L.O.L
