    As far as coloring goes my red eyes are darker green at night and bright green in the day while they sleep.

    I think that may be the case with the Tomops too. Apollo had been dark green all day and night following the incident with the honey water and I think this showed his irritation/uncomfortableness. Red Eyes and Tiger Legs seem pretty similar so far. XD

    Oh, and I just remembered. There was another member who started a thread about their Red Eye, I believe you've seen it, where one of them mysteriously died and the other wouldn't wake up at night with the moonlight bulb on. I didn't know that it was a trait of the frog and told them to try and see if they could get the frog used to the moonlight, I'll go and correct my mistake. My Tomops seem not to mind the moonlight on at night, Artemis was waking up and moving around with it on a about a week ago and now Apollo does as well so I think they're used to it. And of course W T F s have no problems with is either, both of mine are up and about even if I leave a lamp on in the room nearby (with just a low glow so I don't disturb the Tomops either). Is there a reason Red Eyes won't become active if there's even a hint of light? I'm guessing it has something to do with their...Red Eyes. XD;

    To be honest...I don't know. I've tried a moonlight and they don't wake up. If I leave them in complete darkness they are all up within the first hour. Then I turn on a small blue LED and feed them. I've tried different things and you should do so as well. Ideally you don't want to have to wait till after midnight until they wake up. Let them settle in first and get use to a routine.

    Hmm Ok, maybe all frogs are different? I may be getting an Albino Red Eye in the future, I'll have to experiment and do some research so I know what to expect.

    The routine is exactly what I did with my White's I found it took Mr. Campbell longer to get used to the routine because of his illness but Mr. Wayne took about 4 and a half weeks before he was awake either right before or right after lights out. Last Night the Tomops were up a little more than thirty minutes after lights out, I might time them tonight and see if it changes or fluctuates.

    You'll find frogs really like routine.
