Thanks guys! I have another 30 or so tads, and 13 - 15 froglets from this year! Also I'm starting to build a new vivarium, so there is a lot to post! I'll post some more pictures on the weekend maybe!

gabor, so just how does a tad get stuck to the back of Mom/Dad anyway? Well the egg are rared in very little water, basically the dad takes care of them by "peeing" on them on a regular basis, to keep them from drying out. When the eggs hatch, the tads seek more water, the male frog sits in the water until his skin is very moist. Than he crouches down by the tads, and waits until one, or more, wriggles onto its back. They stay there by the fact that their skin on the stomach is relatively dry, and instantly suck up all the water from dads back, therefore stuck to him until they both sit in water to "lubricate" the skin of the adult, and the tad slides off. |

gabor, so just how does a tad get stuck to the back of Mom/Dad anyway? Thanks Les! It is just as addictive as the aquarium hobby. My next project is to build a new vivarium with waterfall, and a natural looking tree in there with vines and moss!!! It will be an interesting build, hopefully I'll be able to record and post all the little tricks I learned from my previous two builds.... Will keep everyone updated! |

Oh I forget to mention that they are NOT poisonous as they get their poison from the food they eat! I just feed them fruit fly's and springtails so no poison for me....
However P. Teribbilis Yellow is the most poisonous frog in the wild!!!

Great pics. The frogs don't move as fast as the fish, making them perfect posers for the camera. lol

It also helps to feed them before the photos are taken! You can see the "bugs" in most of the pictures! Here is a picture of the eggs, just to show how little water is really on them! In the wild they are layed on leaves so all the water flows away! This picture shows all the viable eggs, and the one that is dead! There are only a few drops of water....  |
