there you are Richard you have now,tell me,you study and care for alot of tincs has this been documented before? I had to clear out the front of our euro viv so she could deposit it. The water was not a great enough depth, the tad is so high up her back,but she knew exactly what she was trying to achieve and where she wanted that tad to go,the minute she had the water depth so she could get the tad low enough to actually be in the water all was well,and all the time today she has been courting our male as in the pics,what an absolute joy
sorry pretty excited





thanks
Stu

pretty cool, I also have never seen this, I usually pull eggs tho. I have only seen any tincs transporting a couple times when they had eggs hidden.

Awesome Stu! What magic do you and Shaz do to your frogs?

I have seen both males and females transporting tadpoles (sometimes at the same time!).

Thanks for documenting this Stu. Pretty cool. I also pull my clutches, so really don't see my tincs transporting in general. I also have groups of tincs that refuse to transport and will lay several clutches in a row in the same dish without transporting. Just lazy I guess.

Take care, Richard.

thanks Lisa
I think we just try real hard. Lisa,we don't ever stop until every little thing that we can think of to do is done,we are also shown huge kindness by others whom have great knowledge,they go truly out of their way to help us,which is pretty awesome really,so any success we have is really down to the comeraderie and pateince shown,by those good folks,we have so much to thank them for!!!!!! .
Beyond that we just talk to them constantly maybe a good dose of madness helps

your welcome Richard,of note to me is the last bit of your post.As i mentioned she was courting him all day,she was clearing her site ready so she could lay the next clutch,which we have duely, found i can also now add we have,2 tadpoles that she deposited in the front water area not one, so she was very intent on clearing her hut for laying it seems,i pulled the rest as way too little water for 8 tads,but am going to leave the 2 to see how they get on
thanks again for the interest
