Substrate question

[gtr319]

Thx Cheri and Don, I was having headache on where to get them. Now I know where to get moss with out creating the hiding room for the meals of Marshmallow.

One question on the side, what is the humidity should be for the WTF? I think Marshmallow is having a hard time to climb on the glass is due to the fact that the glass is too wet, do you agree?

My Whites slide down the glass due to the mess of coco fiber on them. I have my humidity at 50 to 60 percent but want to get it back up to 70. My temps are 80 in the day and 70 at night and the humidity rises to 60 - 65 at night with just the wet moss.

One of my Whites had a growth spurt too... he is huge compared to the others. One is still so tiny and eats well so I'm starting to wonder if I should separate him from the other three so he doesn't become a meal.

@ Don: so it is the substrate that made the tree frog slide down from the glass? As far as as size goes, you may have to ask someone else as I am no expert myself.

If my Whites start up the glass when they are all dirty from the coco fiber, they can climb it but slowly slide down. If the go straight from the water dish they stick to the glass and sometimes even sleep above the glass jammed into the ceiling edge.

So my guess would be the substrate.

I agree I bet it is the coco fibre making him slip. Once he's dirt free he shouldn't have a problem. With all the soil on him it must be hard to keep the glass clean.

And now he resides on the floor, I guess she is just disappointed that she cannot climb the wall and all. Let me clean her up a bit and see how it goes

My Whites are slowly getting more vocal and I'm guessing this is going to cause the relocation of their home since its two feet from my pillow :-)

Here is a link to some pics after I put in the New Zealand substrate.
