Introduction "My Vivs"

[brian]

Hello everybody !!

I'm new here and i'm new to frog keeping. Been reading a way lot here for the past few weeks (months), my eyes are about to blow . Good reading here !!

Ok so i have no experience at all with frogs so i'm here to learn a lot

These are my vivs ... i have kept them very simple ...

(This is one side of the room)


(Details of some vivs)










The other side of the room is under construction

I already have a few reed frogs and FF cultures y other cultures doing well. Hopefully i will have my first dendros in little time

Did you happen to construct it? If so, could you tell us what components you used?

New to frog keeping and new to the site!! Wow, you've got a great amount of time and tanks already. Sounds like another person in hooked

Thats a 28" tall viv (No frogs yet). Well there was 6 pieces of glass (normal glass) dumped in my brothers garaje, so i decide to give them a good use. I didn't even had to cut them ... they had a perfect measure !!

As for the front sliding door i used plexiglass, just might switch it with glass too. Lets see if it dosen't bend in short time. Used "U" aluminium for sliding the door. This viv is FF proof and i like it.

ExoTerras viv look beautiful but i hate them because of this. With ExoTerras 80 FF goes in and 30 find their way out Though after securing door gaps and vents only a few get out.

Nice work Brian.
I have found I have less escaped fly`s if I use the Melanogaster`s than the Hydei.
The Hydei climb straight for the top as soon as they get dumped in and always find a way out.
Not so much with the others.

Yeah I mostly use wingless melanos and Turkish Gliders - there's a tradeoff; all my frogs are egg feeders so there are lotsa broms in the tanks, the wingless melanos don't really escape at all but they fall into the broms like crazy and drown in the axils, so much that it looks like they're filled with ff's, the gliders don't get stuck in the brom water too much at all, seems like they can jump out, but they escape like crazy
