My first tree frogs!! they are CUTE.

[smaug]

i went to petco today on a whim.I found 2 tree frogs there.I had been thinking about getting red eye tree frogs but they are expensive!I found these 2 instead.They are so cool looking.If you all could have seen the fiasco that occurred when I got these home you would have laughed till you cried!he first thing I told my 9yr old daughter was these are for looking at and never touch them.I opened the box to show her and ,,BOING out popped the splotched one.My hands were filthy with grease and dirt from work so I couldn't grab it,so SHE did.Ha! she got to touch them after all.Here are pics of them,the green one I couldn't get a good shot of.

great buy! I was thinking about adding a couple more to my terrarium, how much were the red eyed ones? They're my gf's favorite, and she would flip if i got one.

They didnt have red eyes,the price range Ive see for them is between 30-60 bucks.These guys were somewhat less.I have no idea what species they are.

Hahaha thats funny smuge i bet your little girl jumped out of her skin :hmm3grin2orange:
How have the frogs been getting on in the cool new tank?

[smaug]

I just put them in a few hours ago.Actually she is the one who caught the little bugger!She was really good at it,but then she squeeled about it being slimy!

[Suzyq330]

haha well now she will listen to the no touch rule being that they are so slimey ;0)

blotched one looks like a clown treefrog. Green one looks like a dumpy but a better pic would help

[smaug]

Yup the blotched one is a clown.I found that out earlier.The small isnt a dumpy for sure.I will hopefully get a better pic of him someday.They are certainly acting like tree frogs,they havnt moved a muscle since they were introduced to the tank!I gotta get a moonlight for night viewing.

I have just found out that the other one is a tiger leg tree frog here is a good shot of what I saw for a little bit when I first stocked them,cool huh?

Oh wow there awesome!!!

Adorable! Glad your daughter got to retreive them!

[smaug]

Ever since I got this project finished [it will never be truly finished] and got my frogs I have been my normal worrying self.Tree frogs are so shy when the lights are on,you never see them and if you do catch a glimpse they look sickly.Tonight I stayed up after the light are off,wow,what a difference.They are prowling around in there like cats,no joke they hunt just like mini cats!If I thought they were doing poorly today when the lights were on tonight I got a great show.Jumping ,pouncing,singing just plain COOL.I have always wanted tree frogs or poison darts,I am so glad I took the plunge.My lord I'm gonna need a lot of crickets,between my wifes 6 fire belly's and these guys,whoowheee!

[Rue]

They eat a LOT...lol...

Yes, we did the weekly cricket run for years...

Can't say that I miss it...:c2: But I'm too busy with the fish tanks...

[Ryuu]

Maybe you could make a cricket farm instead of doing "cricket runs"

[smaug]

The pet shop I get my crickets at is next door to the bank I cash my check at every week.Its not too big a hassle yet.I think Im gonna get bug trap for outside and catch them some free stuff!
