The Pacific Tree Frog lives on the west coast of North America, from Baja California to Alaska, where it was introduced in the 60's. I've caught these all my life, but now after I got into the idea of keeping frogs as a hobby, I set up a permanent vivarium for them. These guys have really cool patterns in natural green/brown colors. Here's a top-down shot of the viv (I'm in the process of rinsing everything)...
I'm going to put two pieces of driftwood in there. One if for climbing and it will be reaching up to the top of the viv. The other is for hiding and it will provide a dark, damp place for the frogs to chill. The landscape is really cool because I made it where there is an area that the frogs can sit on but it is submerged under a tiny bit of water. I'm thinking of putting some grasses or something in there for them to sit in.
Currently the tadpoles are in a grow-out tank. Most are around 1cm or less. One is about 2cm and there are three that are 3cm-4cm, which have their back legs. The oldest one is expected to get it's front legs within a few days.
Babies chillin' with their peeps...
Biggest one and a small one side-by-side...
And here's what they'll look like when full-grown...
I'll post more pictures as the viv gets near finished and the tads develop more.
PS: I'm going to patch the tank with silicone and sphagnum where needed soon...
