New Frog for the Vivarium (frog pics 3/12)

She's coming today! I'll go and pick her up this evening and take a crash course on keeping her wingless fruit flies alive and breeding so she has something to eat.
Heres a shot of the water cascade right after I put it together. Since I used reef rubble, I need to do some tweeking with putty to get the water flowing like I want it to. But I'm happy with it none the less.


And the complete set up with one of my wifes house-plants. She doesn't know yet....


Pics of Pokey later this evening.

 

Man you do nice work. For scape wood the looks spectacular.

 

Thanks alot! It turned out better than I expected. Most of the scrap is all from a canopy I'm building for a 90 gallon. I'm sick of cutting miter joints so I just butted all the frog's stand.
Heres the canopy skinned, the money stopped so the project did too.

 

i have fire belly toads. They are very fun to watch! Looks like you got a nice set up there!

 

I'm very excited to get her. Hope the buzz isn't killed when my wife see's I butchered her golden pothos LOL.

 

She won't dare to stick her hand in the tank when she heres the word "poisonous."

 

Congrats, Mike!! It's a very pretty frog. The bright yellow on black makes excellent contrast.

As far as the plants, I would watch some nature show that has these frogs and look at the plants they climb etc, that way you can choose from the other guy, knowing that it will be used accordingly by the frog.

Must be absolutely exciting!

Congrats again, and enjoy your new friendly pet!
By the way, did I understand correctly and this frog is poison free due to a change in her diet?

 

yeah. they are like nudi's lol. the toxin come from the bugs they eat and diminish over time.
Thanks for the compliment, I'm excited!

 

Picked Pokey up and headed home. By the time we'd gone 5 miles it was really snowing and the highway was getting slick. Long story short it took us 2 hrs 15 minutes to go 40 miles to get home.

Pokey didn't make the trip.

I don't know what happened really, she was in an insulated box with moss. I think she may have suffocated. Anyone want to buy a 5 gallon vivarium?

 

wow, that was depressing.

just read the whole thread, kinda building up to seeing a pic of the new frog.

sorry it didnt make it. But you definitly planted a seed in the back of my head. i made a promise not to google vivarium or dart frog for the rest of the night
