Frog update
Three of my four new banded D. leucomelas froglets. They are about two months out of the water (meaning two months since they morphed from tadpoles to froglets). They're really tiny.
Sexed pair of adult/sub adult D. azureus. The males are smaller and have broader toe pads.
Sterilizing wood for the vivariums. I had it in a 225° F oven for 3 1/2 or four hours.
Sterilizing live oak leaves for the vivariums. boiled in R/O water for about a half hour.
Here are the plants I've collected so far for my four frog vivariums. As you have to throw out plants that have been exposed to frogs with parasites, I'm waiting until I test the frogs fecals before planting them in with the frogs.
The azureus have not yet figured out they can jump into the petri dish and chow down ... both repeatedly try to nab crickets through the plastic.
The last few seconds of a cricket's life.
