They work well together and sort of keeps me on the right side of sanity or the left side if your cack handed (left handed old UK slang)

I love the frogs they are awesome looking. 4 Bombay cats too :heart_eyes: collies are beautiful as well.

Random question but are the frogs difficult to look after?

@NewDay1990 To be honest they’re easy to look after!

Daily, top up the pond, check the mister has enough water, check UV light is working, they need it for metabolising calcium.

Before feeding, mist the vivarium with a spray bottle and then on to feeding.
They eat flightless fruit flies , so basically ‘walks’ coated in calcium powder and once a week with multi-vitamins powder, really easy when you get into a routine and they know when it’s feeding time as all 4 are in the pond having a party :thinking::roll_eyes::rofl:
This is the current set up



And our deionised water supply.

But, they’ll be moving to the other tank when we get 5 of these or maybe 6 or a dozen, they’re really tiny😀



Red eyed tree frogs (Agalychnis callidryas) are totally aborial so they need the hight for them to be happy, so I’ll need more plants :thinking::roll_eyes:

Man, my blood is fuckin’ boiling.

Not my pet, but a pet.

Driving home from the hardware store, pull into my neighborhood and these people down the road from me left this out at the curb with their trash.
At first it just looked like a tank with some murky water in it, but as I went by, I saw something moving around frantically. Parked and got out.

Red-ear slider in a few inches of the nastiest, pissiest, shittiest water I’ve ever seen (or smelled). Left out in the blazing Arizona sun to suffer and inevitably die.

Loaded it up in my car, out of the sun. A quick google found a reptile rescue less than ten minutes away, who took him in no problem.

It would have taken these people less than a half hour of their time and minimum effort to do the same as I did. How someone can just throw out an animal is beyond my comprehension.
I wanted to knock on their door and give them an earfull, but when I’ve seen them outside before they haven’t struck me as decent, reasonable types. Better to leave it alone and just have faith they’ll get whats coming to 'em.

I’m glad I could help today.

That’s HORRIBLE. Thank goodness you were passing by and you happened to notice and save him.

Is that an alligator in there with them? Or is it just a plastic replica of one?

I will always, always help an animal that needs it.

@Matt it’s a floating replica of an alligator head. Whether it’s for looks alone or has function, I don’t know.

That’s a great setup, and such cool frogs.

I raised bearded dragons for years. I also raised their food - dubia roaches. Had a colony of roughly 5,000 at one point. Never got used to having that in my living room!

Never got into frogs or humid weather lizards just because it seemed like SO much work and monitoring.
