Better pics of the big one. The small one is so far pretty shy

Beautiful frogs. If only I had another viv built.... definitely jealous here.

Those are some sweet little guys

[VicSkimmr]

Thanks!

Awsome pics! Im sure your frogs' jaws will drop when they see there new home.

Gorgeous pics. There's a museum-like artistry to your designs.
I'm curious, what camera/lens did you use for the closeups?

[JSG]

Jason, those frogs in the viv you've build will only compliment one another, BRAVO! And please keep us updated with pics as the viv settles in...I would love to see those tree fern panels as they grow in! You mentioned that the Great Stuff doesn't do so well, so yeah I'm waiting to see your experiment going!

Other people seem to have better luck, but the silicone holding the dirt that I plaster over the great stuff always seemed to break down and fall off over time.

I heard about that, so I tried mixing the silicon and dirt into a mud and smearing it onto the GS. It came out nice and looked neat but, the different densities of the "mud" separated while drying. leaving white cracks of GS all over. -_- I bandaged it with the typical method of pressing dirty into the silicon and came out way better than before.

More frog pics, they seem to be acclimating well

This is the previously pictured one


And the smaller one

Jason,

Those are some great pictures. I'm hoping to get a new camera soon to take better images with. My phone camera just does not cut it.

Thanks! They were taken with a Canon 40D / Sigma 150 f/2.8 macro
