Frog002.JPG - Sly Hat Jones (Leperflesh)


  Dendrobates tinctorius "cobalt" juvenile. This was the longest-surviving of the three juvenile tincs I bought at the July \'05 show in Sacramento. In retrospect they were sold too small, I housed them in too large a facility at first, and they probably had parasites. The first of the trio died the day after getting them back, the second after a couple of weeks, and this one lasted the longest - a couple of months.  140-4086_IMG.JPG  140-4087_IMG.JPG  140-4093_IMG.JPG  Bombina orientalis. They are no longer housed with this size gravel - we lost one probably due to impaction. Currently have three, all about three years old, doing great.   Frog002.JPG   Tinc001.JPG  Tinc002.JPG  Tinc003.JPG  Tinc004.JPG  Tinc005.JPG  Tinc006.JPG  Along the top of the viv, at the back, there is a gap between the tree fern bark and the back of the tank. It\'s filled up to about an inch below the top of the fern with dry moss. The saran wrap comes to about an inch away from the back, too. So, there is a \'dry area\' that doesn\'t get misted and has lots of air flow. It lets air flow up from the front (below the doors) and out the back and front at the top. Both frogs utilize this area from time to time.  D. leucomelas, female, at approx. 2 years old. The pair began to exhibit mating behavior at around this time.  The current state of the Leuc viv, just before draining. Water accumulates up to near the bottom vents, and I drain it manually using a siphon. I'm not really happy with the level of plant growth on the tree fern backing. The bottom is mostly leaf litter instead of moss or whatever, and the frogs seem to prefer that.  IMG_0574.JPG
