Cool

We had White's Tree Frogs back in '90-92...they ate crickets like crazy (you can sprinkle reptile vitamins on the crickets if you want) and they lived in an aquarium that I rigged with water 1/3 the way up, with lots of river rock up out of the water like an island, and tubing running up around the top of the tank, just under the edge where the lights sit, and I had drilled the tubing with 1/8" holes and a pwrhd pumped water up and around (closed ends, it could only come out the holes) to make a "rain forest". I didn't run the water like that 24/7, but turned it on some each day. There were guppies or minnows in the water, and sometimes a baby turtle or two. This was in my classroom. The "rain" stimulated the frogs to croak every now and then. They ate mealworms, also, which we grew in cornmeal in the classroom.

They pretty much hung out on the sides and on the rocks, but not in the water. But, they like a wet environment.

They didn't die; we moved from Louisiana back to Indiana and gave them to friends.

Are those the ones with the very smooth shiny skin that stick to the glass like a refrigerator magnet? Get fairly good size?

They are really neat!

OK, I will this afternoon. The pics were taken back in the dark ages pre-digital cams, so I'll have to actually fire up the scanner. But, I do have so GREAT pics of them! Have to run to the doc now and get this tonsil thing taken care of, then I'll find the pics and post.

How Cute!

Here's ours shortly after we got them, but before they fattened up. I can't find the "cute" pics.
