Here's a few shots of the frogs I picked up yesterday. I'll take some more pictures when I move them into their main tanks.

Probable pair of Cristobals from SNDF
This is the male, very very bold! He has been calling nonstop since I put him in a temp enclosure.

Here's the other one, really hope it's a girl! Couldn't get any good shots, but it's a lot more reddish on top that fades into a deep orange. Very pretty frog..

And here are two of the three Bastimentos I picked up from Wes! They are some great looking juvies..

And here we have some more shots of my male Bastimentos, I got him from Bill!

Show was great.. spent way to much damn money again.

I didn't take any photo's of the show.. I know, stupid! I did take a quick video of those Abronia graminea's Ray had for sale! Absolutely stunning!! First time I ever seen/heard of those.. definitely on top of my list. I'll upload the video later tonight.

Here's a few shots of the broms I bought. Really nice plants man, all of them are pupping as well!

Thanks guys! I'm not gonna lie, I was a little torn on whether or not to buy the Cristobal pair.. but am more excited with each passing hour! They really are gorgeous.. especially the one I didn't get a picture of! It's one of those morphs you really need to see under some good ole' natural sunlight, full spectrum lighting shows their colors pretty good to. I'll make sure to get some better shots for ya'll.

Looks like you definately came up at the show you went to! Beautiful frogs and broms. How much did you spend for everything if you don't mind me asking?

These tanks have been setup for less then a month now. I still have to hookup the MistKing system and the 40mm box fans. I'm also going to be applying a moss slurry to the walls and wood.. but wanted to wait till I had the mist system in place.

Looking good man. Hope those guys are settling in well for you. That picture of the one with the smaller spots really brought up some seller's remorse

, it's just a real good looking frog!! Keep the pictures coming.

Hehe.. it's my favorite out of the three, also has more of a mustard color to it.

love the thanks

I saw the plant video too...I wish I had the money to get some nice broms liek that lol.
so how did you manage to get that brom to root the stump?

Thanks! I got a good deal on most of the broms.. that huge cluster to the left was only 25$!

The bromeliad was attached by drilling a hole in the wood, and pushing the stolon in.. After a few weeks it started putting out roots and attached itself

If there isn't a stolen, you can try attaching it by wrapping floral wire/ wire around the plant to the wood. Keep it healthy and it will probably grow roots and attach on its own in a few weeks, just like if it had a stolen.

Juvi one

Juvi two

Juvi three

Updated FTS of basti juvi tank, really liking where it's going.. The wood is all hollow, there's a little hole under the vine(visible in first FTS posted on page 1) that I regularly catch the frogs climbing in/out of.

Male Popa

New Popa tank.. still have to add some vines
