Did it AGAIN-- treefrogs ugggggg

[MissSkittles]

Well! I have seen your set-up work and know you would make a fun habitat for both you and the frogs.
Know this: If you step into the frog or toad domain--- there are so many species, morphs and odd behaviors (individualism) that one species might not be enough.

Personally-- I would stick with the ones you have outside and develop a relationship with them -tweezer / for food, hand and kindness. They are trainable and who doesn't like free food? haa haa

Earlier I read there were some established groups of the White's tree frogs in Florida but could never find a picture (so believe they are there but will always not be100% sure)--- ( my searches might be wrong ). The common green tree frog can get big and might be called Giant green tree frog which is another name for the White's. So there is always the possibility of a mix up. If your retired, you can start a quest for the Mystery of the Giant Green Tree Frog ( AKA White's).
Enjoy!

I think I have more than enough animals for now. I’ll just live vicariously thru your froggies and enjoy the wild ones in my yard.

Love the frogs, they’re so cute!

Update:
So while taking pictures and looking back at them---- The frogs have white lips I had no idea..

The ones growing legs are getting their patterns/markings. I don't see them eat like the White's tadpoles and they are less active too.

Bag Balm: To help keep your skin soft and smooth without the blue.
The container along with the frog were well protected and clean from any chemicals or frog prints.

Bag Balm story: Wife asked me to send picture for her to share with colleagues. So figured I would SHARE! Bada bing!
That will teach her to ask me to do something when tending the critters.. Just kidding! I took multiple pics and 1 with Bag Balm only.
The rest was her choice. They loved the critter ones.. If I have the opportunity, I will sneak them in.

Little update as these Amazon Milks are growing/changing quickly.
The banding is so cool.
Little inf I learned about their breeding ritual. Kinda cool and proves animals think more than we know.

So the male will breed with a female and fertilize the eggs (normal). The male will find a second female and bring her to where the first group of eggs were laid by the 1st female. This time the male does not fertilize the eggs and the 2nd females eggs will be the food for the 1st. WOW!
I have read that about some of the Dart Frogs but always enjoy something new.
Something to think about:
1. Is this on purpose or does the male no longer have any mojo?

thanks

 

[Lindasjackson]

That’s interesting.

So, I was thinning out the male roaches and know that my adult White's love them. BUT! One of the babies acted first and jumped into action.

"I CAN'T BELEIVE I AT THE WHOLE THING"
They have BIG a stomach, so it just took a few wiggles before it was gone.

Yes, not enough room for roach and tongue at the same time--- something had to give temporarily (actually both tongue and roach did).

Second Pic- Just when you think all the Froggos are sleeping, then notice the rebel below.

Him watching me- watching him -watching me. Never a dull moment.

Also, introducing Blue who lives in the tank too. He decided to come out for a picture.

Thank you very much! I tend to be a little over the edge when it comes to my hobby (all over the place). But! within the next few years the plan is videos and books. One of the reasons I take so many pictures (Just a plan in the making).
FYI if I have not mentioned it before.

I sent a pic a few years go to the Los Angeles News and the posted on the evening news.. So funny! Lots of plans but little time.
Here is the News Star.. ha ha

Opps! Forgot the Amazon milk frog update-

 

[redhorse]

Update time-
There are 2 that have turned into frogs. They are much smaller and slower growers than the whites (but similar is size as adults-- which I have read).
I have not seen them eat but I keep powdered fruit-flies in it all the time and some seem to disappear. The new interesting thing is they have different colors on the bottom One is blue and the other seems not to have a specific color, the normal black and white.

 

[MissSkittles]

That blue is pretty. Does he/she have blue anywhere else?

 

[redhorse]

The only thing I have read is the inside of their mouths when they get older. Glad you enjoy!

 

[Lindasjackson]

Very pretty little frog!

 

[redhorse]

Update-
So for the last few weeks I have been watching my Albino mystery snails moving around and taking pics along with videos. Last week I wanted to read more about their breeding and egg laying. Well-- bada bing Look what I had awaken to in the tank.
Plus, current pics of everything. Yes, I am actually sill on a natural high, since I don't smoke, drink or due drugs.

 

[MissSkittles]

Umm…what is that unsettlingly flesh colored mass? Are those snail eggs?
Love the froggy pics (as always).

 

[redhorse]

Yes, they are the Mystery snail eggs. Mystery snails lay the eggs above the water line (not pictured). My wife was like "Yuck, but the chameleons can eat the babies when they hatch right?" So, guess I am not keeping to many. They will be donated to the pet-shop if they make it.

UPDATE time
So the original post has grown to living habitat and all its creatures. Kinda cool for me to experience this.
2 Baby Amazon Milk Frogs are doing good, the tadpoles are not. Same happened with the White's tadpoles too, if they don't morph by a certain time, they live but don't morph into frogs and eventually pass on. Sad, but a good learning lesson if I do tadpoles again.
Note to self: Only ask for large ones.
All the plants are growing along with the frogs.
I was able to get 1 pic of the snails breeding.
I was also able to get a pic of the eggs being laid. It was amazing to view and video. It takes almost 60 seconds for the egg to appear and move up the slim to the rest of the eggs. Long time for less than 1/2 inch distance but pretty cool. There are now 3 egg cases in the habitat. My intentions are let them hatch and give away to pet shop or others wanting them.

Last picture is the snails big eye.

So after a lot of poop and some cleaning this little guy decided to pose.
last pic are the beginning of the back legs.

yippee!

It's a rewarding experience to observe the progress of their growth

 

[kinyonga]

I’d love to, but not sure I’d be able to manage the humidity for frogs. For now I’ll just have to enjoy the wild frogs that live in my shed.

Get waxy monkey tree frogs then.

Here's some good information on these waxy frogs... @MissSkittles

Get waxy monkey tree frogs then.

I just did a quick Google and one article says they can be kept in tall screened enclosures. Is this true?
