I got them from a local frogger as adults, but I believe he got them at MWFF 2008 from Adam Butt.

Looking good, I've love to get out of this apt and into a space with room. Of course I'd have to fight the husband for space, he wants a fish room.

lol, well when looking for a new house I let my wife pretty much have anything she wanted as long there was a space for a "frog room". I bet you two could "share" a basement.

Let me tell you, when two hobbies collide LOL he's into saltwater reef tanks and I've got my frog stuff. Space becomes a premium LOL though my tanks are more display style so I like having them in the living room and what not. We're in an uptown apt, not a lot of room for this kind of stuff!

Hmmm...What kind of tanks are those? You have two in one top corner and two in the other top corner; each right next to each other? Are they acrylic? Where did you get them? Dimensions?

Jason, I may be blessed with a basement for the frogs in the coming months.
Did you have to run AC in the summer, or did geo-thermal cover it?

I have AC in the house and a vent in the room, but I doubt that even made a difference. I just kept the door open to the rest of the basement. On the hottest day I didn't really affect the room temps. I was planning on putting in a ventilation system if there were issues that would draw hot air out of the room near the ceiling and draw in cool air near floor using the rest of the basement.

The big thing is the winter. I have to keep the door shut and a heater on (It is plugged into a thermostat). It was a lot worse when the room was not insulated. Heater ran almost all the time.

One thing to think about is the room I have them in has 3 walls that are in contact with the ground. I would think an inside room or a room with only 2 walls in contact with the ground would change things. Maybe warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter, but who knows.
