I'd run fecal tests on the remaining animal. Necropsy is a possibility but that will likely run you $100 to $200. Anyhow I would check out the remaining animal and ensure it is stable long term before introducing another animal. I would post information from this sticky here: http://www.dartden.com/...

New addition - 0.0.4 R summersi. I have been shifting from larger frogs to smaller frogs. Here are shots of the four animals:

It looks pretty far gone. Is this frog isolated from the other animals? I'd get it into an isolated enclosure with thick leaf litter and a feeding station. You may want to contact Dr Frye and discuss your situation. He may prescribe metronidazole which is a antibacterial/ antiprotozoal/appetite stim...

The clutch was still looking ok last night ... fingers crossed.


So far both groups of thumbnails I am keeping prefer the horizontal cans. Here are a few shots zooming in on the location of the can the highlands are using:

Found the third highland sirensis clutch last night. They seem to like a specific film can placed horizontally on a corkbark shelf about halfway up their Viv. This clutch looks better than the first two attempts.

Awesome Chris! Are these made from that new aluminum material you showed me a while back?

I saw that fantastica print and thought that would be a near addition to the frog wall. Might need an add order

Not yet. Will ping again!

The sirensis / lamasi deposited their second "clutch", this time two eggs that molded over. I am not that concerned - I figure it will take a while for them to get going. I had left the remnants of the eggs in the Viv over the holiday weekend and found these Isopods diligently cleaning up ...

A few pics. Two of the four adult nominal fants: image.jpeg A juvie in grow out: image.jpeg A proven pair of Lorenzo - as the canopy grew in and they matured they have been out a lot more: image.jpeg Not frogs, but these geckos are quickly becoming a house favorite.

As the law currently stands, police only need a subpoena, not a warrant, to search emails that have been opened or are more than 180 days old. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2014/05/02/should-police-need-warrants-before-searching-email-and-texts I believe there is active legislation that is...

Captured an interesting series of photos in the Bakhuis viv the other day. They are a 2.2 that have been housed together for over three years. They have been producing on their own for about two years, depositing and transporting within their viv; I pull about a froglet every month or two. The domin...

Ok so what is all the chatter over on Facebook about large obligates? I am not a member of FB nor do I intend to be. It sounds like there are some illegal imports being flaunted? It *seemed* like the forums were taking a pretty good line recently against new imports of suspect origin. Are we seeing ...

8 feet! Did you get a picture?

+1 it's about the hardscape

Hah yeah it's always the azureus that get the oohs and aahs in my house. A hand held pressure sprayer or pump garden sprayer will do. I started with a hand held and as my Viv count went up up just picked up a large garden sprayer from HD. I flush my vivs every week or two.

My copy should be in the mail! Can't wait to see it.

I completely agree that we need to discuss tank orientations and usable space, but to say that a thumbnail or a pumilio is going to use all parts of a properly constructed vertically oriented 24" tall vivarium and a D. tinctorius will not because it is "terrestrial" is, well, silly, n...

The "terrestrial" versus "arboreal" discussion topic seems to pop up frequently across multiple threads, and I thought it was an interesting debate that warranted a dedicated thread. As a D. tinctorius keeper, it bothers me to see them incorrectly characterized as "unable to...

Thanks for all your help Zach! For all those interested, I posted the unboxing images from my C microphylla purchase here:

Columnea microphyllaSome new plants arrived yesterday for my 120 gallon display viv update. I'm shifting from Begonia foliosa to Columnea microphylla on the right side of the viv. Thanks to Zach for the recommendations he made over here: http://dartden.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=9763 I am not sure...
