I'm curious to find out, how do some of you transition into the dry season ???

Thanks

Which frogs are you talking about? Some frogs have more of a dry season than others...

With most of my frogs the "dry season" is a period in which they get misted once a day. The "wet season" they get misted 2-4 times a day.

My version of "misting" involves a hand mister with a water droplet size much closer to a raindrop than anything a mister puts out. I soak the tank and basically simulate a rain storm.

I'd assume that all the frogs can have the same dry season. They were all breeding heavily for me, so they earned a well diserved break.

Now they are misted 4 times per day...I'll reduce that over few weeks to 1 time per day

I might give the bastis a bit of an extension, since they're raising tads now.

btw, I have bastis, alanis, leucs, azureus, few kinds of auratus and mantelas

I'll dry season the babies too... so they don't have it so easy

What break up for the year do you use for the seasons? From when to when is your dry season vs wet season?

My dry seasosns consist of no misting for a certain period of time (a week or two, my tank stays humid) and then I mist it 3-4 times a day with sometimes larger droplets sometimes smaller and give them a storm.

For all of you who mist three or four times a day, do you also drain your tanks? You have to right? Other wise all that water is gonna flood your tank. Or am I missing something.

Darkside, nice avatar, but I thought the old one was cooler.

You're not missing anything...Yes, tanks should be drained.

Oops, sorry Luke,

I didn’t mean for everyone to gang up on your poor avatar. I did like the old one better though. Feel free to jump right in and bash mine, when I change it!

Apologies to the board for the off topic comments.
