Just purchased my ticket for the tinley park NARBC reptile show for March 21st. Already ordered a 4th leuc PDF from joshs frogs to pickup there, and talked with Mike from glassboxtropicals. He's got several more plants set aside for me. :woohoo: will update with some pics after the show.

Also picked up some jumbo seed pods, confused beetles, giant orange isopods and dwarf white isopods from Mike. I'll get some photos or video of the terrarium with the new plants one they all settle in and put on show signs of growth.

With the cool temps this winter I've had problems keeping even three FF cultures producing enough to keep up. I've used the cultures from Mike and my existing small springtail culture, moving them all into larger plastic shoe box size cultures to help.

Nice i noticed when i had these frogs and had to breed the ff after so many times breeding them each generation produced less and less babies also used applecider vinegar and yeast if the yeast was bad batch just died . I was gonna try make it to swap but was soending money everywhere else mainly reefwise lol

Thanks for the heads up. I've been augmenting the FF with cultures from petco (the fruit fly company) brand. When my cultures get low I buy one from petco and use it to seed my next cultures.

I went really early to the swap to beat the crowd. Far too many snakes and geckos, I'm still amazed at how many reptiles are in this show. I try and keep my blinders on to not bring anything unplanned home :D

Yea the one today is more snakes and geckos than anything else but usually can find cool frogs and fly cultures cheep . I was makeing my own mix for awhile but got better results buying pre mixed powder and just adding applecider vinegar . Maybe one day i will do a small frog tank the day geckos r cool to though

ah ok. Just just the yellow and black ones. I won't mix species in case they want to interbreed. Guys on the frog forums go more nuts about that than tang police do in reefing forums.

totally agree. If you do mix em, it's like fight club. #1 rule, don't post pics of mixed, #2, don't talk you mix, #3 rag on others who mix. LOL
