I finally got around to moving my reticulatus to a larger viv (they were in a 2 gallon pen pal). They are now happily residding in a vertical 10 gallon that I had finished planting a few weeks ago. I took a few shots of the new viv and a few of the frogs enjoying themselves in it. I've posted a few below. The planting consists of: 2 varieties of creeping fig, peperomia 'watermelon', fittonia, and an unknown philodendron. I decided to place several white film canisters along the bottom as well as a neat translucent medicine bottle that my mother's cat's meds had came in.....of course I just had to have it. What do you all think about the new viv? It's a simple design but I think it looks pretty good....can't wait for the creeping fig to cover everything. :shock:
The background is basically a section of 1/16" cork sheet which is used for tackboards. I siliconed pieces of firbark to the cork in a mosaic to create the bark effect. So far I am very please with the results and the costs were very low compared to some of the other methods being used. In this viv I wasn;t too concerned with a water feature or elaborate backwall planting, but rather I wanted the creeping fig to have a place to take root to the back and keep the thickness to a minimum so that inside space is conserved.
Bill,
I am about to put mine in a permanant tank soon. Not sure if I told you but I lost one of the 3 about a month back. The 2 left are doing great though. Eating like pigs and nice and fat. I am just preying they are a pair. If not I guess I will just have to check with a few people and see what I can find. Great job on the tank.
Beuatiful job on the retic tank, I bet they love it, I would if I were a reticulatus, the photo of your frog makes him/her look very happy.. Best of luck with your frogs.. Peter Keane
Thanks for the comments guys!! I'm hoping that I end up with a pair...the one seen in the picture above is 5/8" so I'm guessing a possible female. The second one is a bit more shy and I seldom get photo ops from him. Tony...I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Best of luck with the remaining 2.
That frog is fantastic looking! i have a 22extra tall that is waiting to be designed for either these guys or fantasticus. still debating, but that picture really sways the argument......
