sorry guys, I've been so busy looking for info about the RETF and I forgot to look back at my post
Well I went to a reptile place here in Adelaide and the guy there breeds them. I didnt ask any questions but by looking at the tank set up that he had for heaps of baby frogs, it didnt seem too complicated. I've had trouble finding fact sheets about them, but everything that i have found seems to say that they are a lot like the green tree frog. I did find something that said they were a bit harder and was not recommended for the beginner, but... I am really dedicated to looking after these and I like the look of them more than the green tree frog. Should I give it a go?? I keep axolotls and want a bit of variety.
The info care sheet I have found (for green tree frogs-i guess it could be the same as RETF, i'll find this out) says to heat one side of the tank so it has a variety of temps so it can move to the temp it wants, it says you can use heat mats under the substrate, do these heat mats work well?? and would it heat only half of the tank? Also another idea was to put an aquarium heater in the water to increase temps and humidity, well i will have a false bottom in my tank, could i put the heater in the water under the false bottom and heat the water that way? the frog wouldnt have contact with the heater but the water would be warm, is this ok to have warm water? My tank will have a waterfall type water feature....just have to make it
Thanks so much for the info and ideas, i wish Australia had some kinda of forum for the aussie frogs...oh well, any feedback on my new issues would be much appreciated.
Cheers, Emily
