thanks!


a little bit stressed after cleaning the tank today:

Hi Martin,
Thanks for sharing the updated photos. They are just beautiful?
I have 2 questions:
1)In another pic of them against the cork? background - is that on the inside or the outside of the glass?
- I previously used a lighter color cork ( on the outside glass) but just removed it because I could see the adhesive.
2) what is the straw looking stuff in this photo? Very cool . Can the crickets climb it ?
Thanks Lynn
Happy New Year

Hi Lynn,

1)In another pic of them against the cork? background - is that on the inside or the outside of the glass?
- I previously used a lighter color cork ( on the outside glass) but just removed it because I could see the adhesive.

it is outside of the tank and I just put it there for the photo: to have a better contrast and to cover the mess behind the frog tank. ;-)

2) what is the straw looking stuff in this photo? Very cool . Can the crickets climb it ?

it is a climbing help for the plant: a stick covered with coconut fibers. The crickets can climb it. It turned out to be the "dinner plate" for the frogs. I put the crickets on the top of this stick. They climb it up and down. The frogs a waiting on the leafs of the plant, till a cricket runs in front of their mouths and pick them from the stick - it's almost like in the land of milk and honey for them, where the food is running in their mouths! =;-)

After nightfall, they are sitting on the leafs, waiting (for me?) putting crickets on the top. See the attached photo:





all the best,
Martin

Wow Martin.
They look great !!!!

thanks!







BTW, does anyone know, how large captive bred ones grow? I expect them not to grow as big as wild ones. But how much smaller do they stay?

Where do you get these frogs? I read they are endangered? If so how do people get them?

Where do you get these frogs?

there are some breeders who offer captive bred ones.

I read they are endangered? If so how do people get them?

yes they are endangered and even more important protected by WA/CITES => you need papers which prove their origin / that they come from a legal source.

They are SO adorable. I have FBT's, and I love them-they are my babies--but I'm spending more & more time lurking on the tree frog section of the forum. Pics like these are convincing me that there are tree frogs in my future.

[Heatheranne]

They look great! So cute!

[flybyferns]

they are, they are!



be careful! Agalychnis annae and A. moreletii are very close related and can be crossbred. Since both a endangered species in the wild we should keep them pure!

Hi
This is true,
Breeding w/ difficulty even in experienced hands! Here is a good read! (earthtiger , I think I sent this to you once before ? )
It's a great article.
