Just typical

My son's school had an opening night and as usual we supplied a large number of captive bred creatures for the evenings viewing from scorpions to treefogs to hissing cockroaches to tiger salamanders. He asked if he could take the Dendrobates Aratus , no problem .We housed them in a 16x 10 perspex tank with a solid perspex lid 3 inch deep coir bits of cork dead leaves a half a coconut over a small water dish . Their behaviour is totally different they bounce around the tank they approach the glass and wait to be fed and take everything from lesser wax-worms pupae to bean weevils, fruit flies, crickets with,everything consumed in minutes The annoying thing is I took them out of a large heavily planted exo-terra looked really nice full of vines bromeliads,but you never saw them and to cap it off they have just started calling, sometimes you just cant win still if they prefer the small set up I will leave them in there for a few weeks and see what happens

My frogs never perform for me. I'll have a friend over, excited to show off my latest acquisition and they refuse to come out. Just after the person leaves, they come charging out, practically dancing in front of the glass. Perhaps they are smarter than we think...

It's really pot luck as to what's going to happen when people come over and see my frogs. Worst case scenario there's a male African Bullfrog.

When I was over Shawn Harrington's house for the NEFG BBQ, I wanted to see his Ranitomeya benedicta, but they wouldn't come out of hiding at all. I was really dissapointed, as I have only seen them in pictures.

My daughter took Waldo our Red Eye to her second grade class for a school presentation and when she started her presentation she peeled sleepy Waldo off the glass and placed him on a wooden Perch. He sat there perfectly at attention and looked around at the kids in the room. He sat there for 10 minutes while she talked about tree frogs and proper care of them. It was amazing considering he's probably only been out of his cage five or six times his whole life. He was on his best behavior.

Yes we all appear to have the same experiences with our animals , a friend suggested that I might not like the set up but the frogs do therefore leave them in for awhile to see how they get on , remember you are keeping frogs not plants[ his words not mine] he has seen some master pieces with magnificent foliage, foggers, real state of art.He has been succesfull with a basic set up, a few plastic plants and a hand held sprayer and half a coconut over a shallow water dish. So I will keep you all posted
