|Bunghole| Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 [quote name='Knucklehead' post='373819' date='Oct 28 2006, 06:49 PM']Well I did it. Cost about $400 to get everything together. I started from scratch. I got a cool 20gal terrarium from [url="http://www.exo-terra.com/EN/products/glass_terrariums_i.html"]exo-terra[/url]. Then a got a light, [url="http://www.exo-terra.com/EN/products/analog_thermometer_i.html"]thermometer[/url], [url="http://www.exo-terra.com/EN/products/hygrometer_i.html"]hygrometer[/url], substrate (wood chips), moss, logs, [url="http://www.exo-terra.com/EN/products/water_falls_i.html"]water fall[/url], live plants, and the frog. Oh I had to get some crickets and cricket food too. It may seem like a lot, but it's not bad. It's my new hobby. I'll probably get a couple more to make it really cool. I haven't decided whether to get more RE's or something different. His name is Squishy. I'll post pics later for those who give a shit.[/quote] That's great, man, I hope the frog provides you with years of enjoyment. Watching crickets die gets old, though, after awhile. You might want to introduce, say, Preying Mantises into your tank and let them duke it out... "Are you not entertained?"

MULLY Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 [quote name='Bunghole' post='373098' date='Oct 28 2006, 12:43 AM']Whoa, Backer! I do all those things, and I am the main feeder and letter outter (?). I don't hate the dog, I was kidding. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have let my wife get one though (she's the one that wanted her) for the simple fact that we have an infant that is continually eating the dog's hair because he's crawling around on the floor and then putting his hands into his mouth, and no matter how much I vacuum the floors or brush the dog, it never goes away. Hell, I'm the one that has to pick up her poop from the yard...[/quote] Yeah, you wouldn't have that hair problem if you had gotten a poodle. MULLY they don't have that dog smell either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MULLY Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I'd like to see pics of the frog too. MULLY really interested in the aquarium set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Whodey420 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I didnt see this post until you already had gotten your frog and stuff. A friend of mine in Florida owns a web based business called www.herpsupplies.com He's into that kind of stuff and has all kinds of crazy little critters like that. Check out his site if you have any needs or even questions. I'm sure he'd be glad to help you out with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I got this spiffy fog generator too. It's hooked up to a timer that has it come on every so often troughout the day to keep the humidity up. You can see it in the viv pics. The frog hasn't eaten in two days though. I don't know if he's still getting used to things or if he's overstressed. He's living in the lap of luxury compared to the 5-gal petstore tank. I've tracked down another pet store that has an adult RE. If this one lives I'll get the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
