Glass Frogs

[Viv]

How do you post links because I have a a link of a care sheet by that Brian person from the CRARC or whatever? I'll just right the link out. Here it is, http://www.reptilechannel.com/media/...ics-2.aspx.pdf

Wow, I managed to post a link!

We had punctatas for about 2 months with no casualties yet. Put them in a heavily planted 18x18x24 exo and let them be. They have a pretty nice call.

Great work, it is nice to see such a touchy species doing well.

Although hyla punctatas are very pretty, they are not true glass frogs. Do you have a water feature in that tank. I read somewhere that they needed relativily high humidity but good airflow.

If you're looking for a true glass frog Understory Enterprises' wait list will probably be your best bet. I'm just waiting to hear what the price is going to be. I've already started the "glass frog savings fund". I think we're going to be scared when we hear the price. I'm sure no matter the price Tony will take 20. (Just playing with you Tony)

Considering that they are working with two species and I want good-sized breeding groups of both, that isn't too far off from my plan. I've heard from a reliable source that they should be in the $150-200 range.

I contacted Understory and that's pretty much what they told me, in the $175-$225 price range.

Your "reliable" source says $150-200. Thomas' "reliable" source says $175-225. I wouldn't be shocked if that price goes over $300 by the time they are released considering how long it will take them to produce sellable offspring. Supply and demand. The demand will be pretty high when they are first made available in the hobby and they are the only Supply. Hopefully they first go to people who have a legitimate chance of breeding them. And by no means do I put myself in that category, I just would like to see them more readily available which means we would need to increase our number of breeders (suppliers).

Man. I would love to be able to buy 20 glass frogs. That be awesome. I don't have enough money or space.

In this tank, no just a large dish. However it is planted heavy enough that we can not find them until night time. 5 of them were in, and around the water last night. Not sure where the 6th was. We plan on redoing their exo-terra soon.
