    Default Re: My toads are turning black!!!

    1. Size of enclosure - approximately 18x9x12
    2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences 2 FBs, think 1 male and 1 female. Female is noticably larger and fatter
    3. Humidity - unknown - mist 1- 2xs /week
    4. Temperature 65-70
    5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish - use room temp water after sitting out 24-48 hrs
    6. Materials used for substrate - basic fish gravel to create a "hill", covered with larger glass rocks (approx quarter size)
    7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials. - had live plants for the first month - they died and I have not replaced. I also think the frogs may have been eating them? or just destroying them from chasing each other. Have a large plastic rock with lots of hiding places and climbability
    - How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv. - everything was rinsed in very hot water - larger rocks were wiped down.
    8. Main food source - crickets (small)
    9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often) - have not used
    10. Lighting - natural light and standard room lamps, no special reptile or aquarium lighting
    11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure- there is a small submersible heat unit under the gravel
    12. When is the last time he/she ate - today
    13. Have you found poop lately -no. but i never found poop with any of my FBs. Have found cricket carcasses after they have been sucked of nutrients
    14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine) - my cell phone is being weird, as soon as the pics are received in my email I will upload them here
    15. How old is the frog - mature - age unknown
    16. How long have you owned him/her - bought from petstore two months ago
    17. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred - believed to be captive bred
    18. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats - basic crickets - approx 12 at a time, 2x a week.
    19. How often the frog is handled - about once a week to remove during tank cleaning
    20. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area - high traffic room - in the corner. Just two adults in the home
    21. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc) i refill with fresh water about twice a week, try to take larger peices out to wipe down weekly, sometimes every other week
