It doesnt seem like much work at all to breed tree frogs (maybe Im wrong?)

Tony makes it look pretty easy because he has experience.

Most people would find it far more difficult, because they are not as capable as he is when it comes to monitoring and manipulating the environmental conditions and breeding triggers the frogs are exposed to.

I suspect that if he were to ever post full reports of his notes, it would not seem like such a simple thing, even though in this case he provoked it accidentally by moving the animals from the conditions they had been kept in prior to his obtaining them into the conditions he uses for maintenance.

Cycling is not difficult, in theory, but the degree of accuracy required and the number of elements that need to be monitored and manipulated exceed the kind of precision that most people are used to.

These egg pictures are some of the coolest things I've ever seen. Please please please take a video if you see them hatching. Hell, even take a video of them moving around in their eggs!

Wow! This is so interesting! I want to see this in real life! Your pictures are amazing though, so close and clear...I feel like Im right there! It doesnt seem like much work at all to breed tree frogs (maybe Im wrong?) Are these from the new red eyes that you just got? Im guessing that you are going to sell the babies? Nevermind....dont even tell me I might be tempted!

It is a LOT of work when the froglets start to morph out, tadpoles aren't too bad. These came from my established group, not the fresh imports. A few of the new females are looking gravid but I'm not expecting much with only two males.

You give me too much credit. I just got lucky with some good weather, I didn't even build a rainchamber this year.

[Tony C]

tony you should have tads any day now right?

Yep. They could hatch today if they felt the need, but it will probably be a couple more days.

 

[Tony C]

I'll mark it for you.

 

[fuzzylogix]

I'll mark it for you.

sweet, just draw a little "S" on her back when she hits the water, and don't let any siblings eat her, i would be crushed. i'm gonna name her Bug.
