Meet Linus, the accidental Pacific chorus frog

[bshmerlie]

I have the Exo Terra 18x18x24 and the larger one and both have never leaked and are great tanks. However Dachshunds4me is not the first to mention the leaking issue with them but hopefully you wont have the problem. You made a fabulous five gallon I can't wait to see what you'll do with a larger tank. You will have to figure a way to keep the fruit flies in though.

thanks all - I ordered the exo terra and now am waiting to hear whether they even ship to Alaska, hehe.

I look forward to seeing the exo terra setup as well. I use tanks similar...mine are Zoo Meds Naturalistic Terrarium and love them. Instead of having a double swing door these have a single swing door. Which to me i love. To keep the humidity in you will need to tape on top halfway across a ziploc bag to cover some of the screen opening. Or you will be spraying yourself to death to keep it at 70-80% humidity. After I did I didn't have the evaporation problem that I had before.

an update: Linus is doing great! He has doubled his length and probably tripled his mass since he arrived. Here he is this morning, after 2 crickets and an exhausting fruit fly hunt:

He is now 1 3/8" long. Should he be sexable? If so, he's probably a girl as I don't see any vocal sac yet.

In the last 2 pix, note the size comparison from just about 8 weeks ago. The last pic is Linus when I started this thread - you can use the leaf as size comparison

This lil' fella is just so much fun. He has tons of personality and I love watching him hunt flies

oh, and I got him an exo-terra 12 x 12 x 18 for Xmas. It's twice the size of his tank now and I'll set it up as a vivarium with a water part and emergent plants and all.

What a cute little fatty he is. =)
