Orange P. terribilis eggs

[MichaelS]

My orange P. terribilis presented me with 40 eggs today. The adults are still young but I think I think they are well on their way to being successful breeders. It appears like the eggs are from two females.

Very nice. Pics, pics, pics.

Congratz Michael - quite the money spinner!

I plan to take some time to update pictures of my terribilis tank. I've learned to not count my frogs before they are metamorphosed.

Congrats, I hope they are fertile.

Viability has been low in the eggs. I had a few tadpoles that I put in the water section of the tank. Today I count 15 eggs in one clutch that are starting to develop. My tank is nearly complete. Their are about 20 orchids in it and some are pushing new growth. The liverwort is doing great on the root and water feature. It all came in under budget and I expect I will have froglets by spring. These pictures aren't up to date. That little funny looking plant is a Nepenthes bellii. When the Nepenthes gets pitchers and some orchids bloom I'll take more pictures.

My pics might not be as good as the ones my friend J.C. takes but my P. terribilis are breeding.

Very nice and fat terribs. Remember your friends when you have tadpoles please . How many adults do you have and what size is the terrarium?

Nice frogs indeed.

But i must say that i noticed the spots on the nose of different frogs,
if i were you i would take some swabs and let it examin by a vet,

It looks like skin mycosis, or another fungal disease, to me.
This seems to be common in P.terribilis and P.bicolor.
I saw it a couple of times before on younger animals,
without threatment it will become worse.

It could be a wound from bumping into something ofcourse,
but just to be sure

Also pay attention not to let them fatten to much.
They are prone to obesity because of their insatiable appetite.
If they become to fat, eventually their front legs can't lift the weight anymore.

However, good luck with the eggs.
