Hello!!! I am an avid frog lover and have been for many decades. I am from the Boise, Idaho area and after a 10 year break have decided to look into getting back into the Frog hobby. For 15 years or so I had many species of frogs and toads as pets. Most were treefrogs like the Pacific(Just found out on this forum that it is against the rules to have them as pets!!!), Barking, Cuban, Green, White lipped, and Spring Peepers. I also have had fire bellied and Western toads, and a Amercian Bullfrog by the name of Gerty among others including Tomato and Clawed Frogs. I enjoyed my pets/friends for many years until I got married, had children, and got extremely busy. I was in the Reef Tank hobby for many years but just plain can't afford to keep up with it in these trying times so I have sold everything and decided to take up Amphibians again.

What rekindled my passion has been this season of Survivor shot in Nicaragua. They constantly show shots of Red Eyed Tree Frogs. As a child and teenager that was always a dream of mine to have a Red Eye, but I never came across one for sell. Things have changed apparantly and they are now available commercially. I think that is the direction I would like to go, with a possible look at Poison Dart Frogs as well. (In seperate enclosures of course!!)

Anyway through reading the care sheet here on the forum and looking at other information found on the web I do believe I have what it takes to keep these guys alive and happy. I was misting frogs and dusting crickets way back in the day and could easily find the time and love to do it again. The hobby has come a long way in the last ten years. I have some information to digest and new data to learn!!

I have a couple questions. What does everyone thing about the Eco Terra enclosures? I have a chance to get a 12x12x18 set up for around 50 bucks. What that be sufficient space for 2 to 3 Red Eyes? They are arbol frogs and like to climb, would a taller cage be better? Who are some good dealers to deal with where I can get captive raised healthy frogs from? I don't mind paying 50ish for them, but have heard you can get froglets for around 30ish. Younger animals do not scare me, as I have rasied tadpoles and froglets for years. I had 4 fire bellied toads that in a couple years time turned into well over a hundred. I had to get a 180g tank for them, before I started giving some away and selling some to the local pet stores. Anyway any information I should know or any questions you could answer would be most welcome!

I look forward to getting to know you all a lot better.
Ribbit!!!
