My new pet... - Orchid Board

Well, I finished my terrarium, so I had to get a frog. Actually, when one of my friends saw the terrarium, and heard me talking about getting a dart frog, or a tree frog....he couldn't resist picking this one up for me at the pet shop. I love it, it's colors are very vibrant, with blue and yellow markings down it's side. I don't know the sex yet, so I haven't exactly named it.

Jasen,

I love the frog. He is the perfect addition to your terrarium.

Awesome pictures Jasen. What do you feed this little guy? Sounds like he was a little camera shy at first

I love the red eyed tree frogs... too bad they're only active at night though.

It eats crickets, and some types of bugs or worms. It was a little stressed yesterday, after the car ride in a tiny bowl. Apparently, he was in a tiny, uneventful, glass box before that. So it should have plenty of stimulus in here. I just put him a hollowed out piece of a log in there, so he'd have a place to hide in the daytime. He's finally starting to wander around a little, he stayed put pretty much, since he's been here. I need to find out his sex, I'd like to get him a partner, so he's not lonely. Plus, if they sell for $50 each, I may as well try breeding some.

Yeah, I read you can use a low wattage UVB bulb to display them at night. Apparently, it really brings out their colors, and it doesn't interupt their night cycle. I'm gonna look into getting one.
