Tinc002.JPG - Sly Hat Jones (Leperflesh)


  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  The first ever eggs from this pair (D. luecomelas). You can just barely see one in the bromeliad.Most of this clutch of eggs went white quickly, two developed most of the way, but none seem to have made it to hatching. I think the ones down inside the axil might have been too wet, and/or the ones out on the leaf got too dry. Or maybe as a first-ever clutch they didn't have much chance anyway?  Clutch number two, about two weeks after clutch number one. There are nine eggs we can see. These are at (I think) three days after laying. So far they all look OK, but the previous clutch looked like this at this point too.
