    Haha! Flushed.... thats good.

    The design was actually a lot more simple than it looks. I had no experience with making one before, and it turned out better than I had anticipated.
    I do have plans to make an article or two on here. Actually, I've started 2 of them and then ended up finishing the tanks without taking any further pictures! :/ I got a little ahead of myself, but one will make it on to the main stage soon enough.
    I've been in the process of moving this last month so I'm just adding the final decorations to my frog room. I'll post some pictures for you all. Hopefully tonight!

    UPDATE: The eggs hatched and dropped into the water on the 9th day. I was astonished at how many there were! It was hard to count every single one, but the few times I counted I had 47/48. That more than doubled the heart beats under my care in just one day! So now I have about 59 tads.
    AAANND this morning I found yet another egg folded over with leaves! My phyllomedusa hypochondrialis are breeding like crazy this summer. 3 clutches in 3 months.
    After I find eggs I take the 2 males and 2 females out of the rain chamber and put them back in their dry setup. I wasn't necessarily even feeding them all that much, but I was spraying the cage down quite often. Each time I thought one of the females looked round in the belly area I put them all in the rain chamber again. It took them 2-6 days to lay.

    UPDATE: I found out that the (second) clutch had about 70 eggs in it. Since then I've sold a few, had a couple casualties here and there, and 4 of them have morphed thus far....
    Here is one of them that got his legs today actually....


    I took pictures of the one and only surviving frog of my original toilet tad clutch. He morphed out to be 3 times larger than the others that morphed 45 days ahead of him! He is still so small and cute though!



    Note the changes in color in just a minutes time.
