Rhacophorus reinwardtii

Hey Kurt,

In my experience and a couple other breeders as well, it took 4-5 weeks in the rainchamber before the feamle laid the eggs.. But if she is really bad with the nose, probably would be a good idea to pull her out.. Hope you do get them to go..

That is a realy long time, never kept them for those amounts of time in the rainchambre.
Which species was it that took so long to lay off their eggs?
And did they amplex for the complete extend of time?

Mostly i put my frogs in when i think they are ready for it,
they've been somewhat wetter then usual then but not as wet as in the rainchambre.
I noticed that if they are in amplexus they will lay eggs within a week or not at all,
but that is my experience, never kept them in for longer then 2-3 weeks.
They also tend to develop some irritated/damaged skin when i keep them in the rainchambre for extended periods of time.

Reinwardtii.. They went in and out of amplex.. 3 weeks is what it took. Marcus breece said to someone that it took almost 5 weeks. Brent Barrick said it took 4 weeks if memory serves.. With these fronts that are moving through the US, it may not take that long.. My fingers are crossed for you.. What is the temps? I was keeping mine no lower than 78 degrees. Maybe that was something that stimulated them.. Hope that helps.

Thanks Mike. I pulled them out last night before going to bed.
