    Default Looks Like I Have A Breeding Pair of White's

    Like most mornings when I wake up I turn on the light and offer one or two crickets to my two Whites which have been together for 6 months. Before that I have never owned a frog. Well, to my surprise they were busy this morning in a tight hold to put it nicely.
    I have a small wood bark flooring and one large flat water dish on the bottom in which is where they were at. Usually the bigger of the two sits in the water dish every morning. The other one usually never goes down to soak up the water. If he does he must do it at night when I'm sleeping. The male I'm assuming is the croaker or caller. The bigger one is quiet and eats a lot. Just like a female. Joke.
    So what should I do on my end? I was about to clean all the bark out this week and redo the tank.
    But now I don't want to disturb them if they plan on laying eggs. Should I add more water to the bottom of the tank? That won't work for the live crickets I'm thinking because they will drown. Ok, what should I do? What do egg nests look like? Are these frogs normally easy to breed in captivity? Thanks ahead!

    They "probably" will not lay eggs. In many species overly enthusiastic captive males will occasionally enter into amplexus with females that are not ready to lay. Given the species in question that is most likely the case here. However there is no harm in providing a large water area if you wish on the off chance the female is carrying eggs and is ready to spawn.

    Appreciate the feed back, Seth. It certainly is neat that they like each other. I'll keep you frog people informed.
    For the record they haven't moved an inch since this morning.
