Glad you got your tanks, shugar - have fun!

i just moved me and my gf into a two bedroom house. my mother decided if i had money for pets and my vivariums i could afford a house. she was right lol.. im a UAW worker and do ok finacially., although i have a spending problem with expensive hobbies. bmx, guitars, harleys and other things.


Cheri,
i have plans to do some experimenting with the concrete/grout rockwall backrounds. i havent seen many of them on this forum and thought itd be good to have some detailed info on how to, and successfully establish them on here the problem is the cure time for them 4-8 weeks. but i want to take my time with them and get it right. 4 of the 10gallon verts im going to buy some exo-terra lights for and attemp to sell and my local reptile show. one lady sells extremely simple vivariums for around $150! i could make some money on these and put it back into the hobby. possibly support the food for everything this way.
Breeding and fly's are kept in consideration and well. my closet in my frog room will be for tads and i have a bunch of plastic grocery display racks for this. so i'll have fly, frog, and tad racks
And as for getting burned out, lol i dont see much of that happening soon. theres always new and exciting things happening in the frog world to keep me tied to it. and having a great place like this to learn and share makes it 10X better.

we have neighbors that ive known for most of my life that would help us out if/when we go on a trip. he's a reefer and is pretty responsible. i can trust him ya know. we do the same for him and his fish when he goes out.



Don,
lol the igloo i would hope my floors handle the weight ahah! my lords of the land said that they have no issue with tanks and my critters as long as theyre contained. but i dont beleive he has any idea of the extent of the work im planning on doing. however we absolutely cannot have cats or dogs not a huge deal for me but i work midnight to 8:30 im the a.m. and itd be nice to have more than frogs to keep kayleigh company while im gone. and that has to be a bummer moving your frogs like that.

im more worried about the humidity taking effect on the paint and structure of the room but i only have a 1 year lease and plan on buying a three bedroom house when this one is up and upgrading.


John,
that 40B will be a vert build with some sort of tree feature for Phyllomedusa Vaillanti or bicolor. the sharp back monkey frog is the frog responsible for my obsession with this froggin hobby. im just waiting for Mike to get his to breed again and pick up a trio for it.
