We are getting close to the rebuild!!

So as the above statement says the parts are coming in more and more. Almost all of the plants are in my possession. I'm waiting for some ferns that I ordered and the company hasn't really responded as to why it's taking over 3 weeks. I have just one plant to get which is the mystery plant. Then we will have all that we need to plant! I have the money for the misting system so that will be available on day 1 when the toads and wood frogs go in. The fogger has never stopped working and it's kept the plants alive from last year. I have a plan for them so they aren't getting wasted.

Next on the agenda is accessories like bark on the ground and soil and branches. The stuff that makes the enclosure look cool! I'm thinking this might be where I spend the most money this time around. Since I'm not making a back I'm going to be able to spend and focus more on the ground. This means it's going to be very fun and well done on my part. I have all of the moss that I need pretty much. I even have different kinds I just need sphagnum moss. I will have to get more water dishes because they will be rotating in and out for different seasons. All of this counts as accessories for the tank. I have the stand we actually made one and I saved $275 with the decision.

As for the animals there's some interesting things going on. Nothing new for the toads though. Ace, Pious and Wellsboro are all doing well and I think Wellsboro is finally dewormed. Ace and Pious are waiting patiently as their home is soon to be created.

As for their peers the wood frogs we have some slight changes of plans for one individual. So as I have been exploring many places for the upcoming project focusing on the frogs and toads of Pennsylvania I have seen some places where homes are being destroyed to people using the land for growing timber. I looked at two of the wood frogs I have and realized that they don't have a home anymore. It's gone. Most of the forest around it will be too. Machines have come in and driven through the pools of water where these animals breed and their offspring have been killed. So there is no going back for Titus and the unconfirmed sex wood frog. They are staying with me.

Then I looked at Azrael and saw his home. It's not going to go anywhere. I thought that it would be unfair to keep him if he can go home and the others actually can't. So I've decided soon to release him back to his home. I have some tadpoles from the places where Titus is from and they can't go back so I figure why not give a frog in need a home and let the one who has on go back to it.

So Azrael will go but I'm excited to see if we can have a female from these tadpoles and one male. They will have a new home.

As for the Gray Army they have an interesting situation. As some wood frogs are going, some gray tree frogs are coming. There are two members to the Gray Army and are awaiting to be cleared after Christian. One we believe to be a female. So the goal is going to be to get the gray tree frogs cleared at the same time as the wood frogs for taking to the vet.

Christian is top priority for the vet and then the two new members of the Gray Army. I would like to get everyone together in one enclosure as they wait. They will really look like an army with now having the most number of specimens in my care. It's debatable what enclosure I will work on after the 125 gallon because of more and more inhabitants waiting for a home to be built. Wellsboro and maybe a wood frog will be waiting on one hand, and on the other the members of the Gray Army and the Mosquito Fish will be waiting. So the numbers may become the priority to get them together.

What's more exciting the 125 gallon close to being back in commission or more members to the Gray Army?

What's your thoughts on releasing Azrael back home?

Who do you think should be next for their home to be built? The Gray Army and Mosquito Fish or Wellsboro and possibly the young wood frogs?
