Hey all, I've had a male golden mantella for a few months now, and he's been calling for the last three weeks straight. I was finally able to find three more...
hey, i've never bred goldens before, but i'll offer you some advice...first, make sure that there are hiding places for everyone.. you said you had 2 definate...
he is probably ok. does he stand on the same three feet or does he change it up a bit? if he keeps from standing on only one specific foot he might have a...
I am new to the group as well as the hobby, and need some suggestions on how I might keep my tank temperature acceptable for my golden mantellas. I have 4...
first the corrections: my special thanks to TROY for steering me to the group, and for his spectacular website. additions are that I meant to identify the...
Your frogs will thrive even in a lower humidity environment, some of my tanks are usually around 70-80% humidity and the frogs do great, especially if you're...
He does eat but doesn't put to much effort into it. I have to drop the food in front of face or he wont' touch it (flies and crickets) He started moving...
well..sometimes you cant really tell if something is broken...anyhow...if he eats anything at all that is a good sign that he should make it...also, just make...
you should move the tank close to where the air blows from the air conditioner..never thought of the deli cup/light thing...seems like it would work well..do...
Hi. I have had three M. betsileo for about a month. They are eating well and I believe two are females and one is a male. The biggest, oldest frog, "Penny," I...
From what I have read, betsileo are very similar to viridis. So, I would say day time temps of 75 degrees, night time at about 68 degrees. I don't think...
The best think you can do I think which will dramatically control the temperature is by incorporating some type of a misting system. There are many of...
Doug- I can't really comment on betsileo temp requirements but I second Ed's suggestion to pick up Marc Staniscewski's book. The chiller systems that were...
These mantellas originate near the coastal lowlands where temperatures are higher. I have kept them successfully at 27 degrees celcius with the temperature...
OK Ed, could you give me a list of some cheap DIY misting parts for a tank 26" L x 20" T x 18" wide? It will be divided with glass to house Epipedobates...
thanks to Troy, Ham, Ed, dougpeel, Rich, & f.fuel for all the input on tank temp and chillers. I've got lots to work with and research thanks to all your...
Peter, If you can make Frogfest, I highly recommend it. There are really only two main shows in the US every year -- in my opinion. FrogFest on the West...
I have had my Blackearred Mantella for only a few months now. My last issue was solved here (thanks Adam!), I hoping you all can help again. My Mantella has...
Well, first off, I would go purchase a new thermometer. I would recommend thatyou buy a digital one, they seem to be a lot more reliable, and you can get one...
Peter, it would be excellent to make frog fest. But, like Henry said, most are going to be dendrobatid frogs (unfortunately). I love darts, but I find it...
hey, go buy a dig. thermometer...you can get one from walmart that reads temps and humidity...if you have a temp and humidity gauge that are from the petstore...
I too have had trouble with the exo-terra thermometers. Like Ed said, digital thermometers are often the best choice. I think part of your problem may be the...
Hi guys. My betsileo are eating well and the little ones seem to be growing. However, Flash, "flicks" his hindlegs occasionally. He is the only one I really...
My 9 yo daughter's red mantella has developed a grey spot on his lower back. It is about a 1/4 round, but he seems to be otherwise healthy. We took him to the...
i've never had this type before, so this is just a suggestion....maybe it is a breeding type ritual...or maybe red leg? have you looked into that? thats all i...
... Hi, I've been planning a Mantella tank lately, and I've been considering putting an IceProbe Chiller (http://tinyurl.com/4gqx2) on my canister filter...
Honestly I don't think anything is wrong, but I just want to make sure. Flash is the boldest of my mannys. I do notice, he keeps his legs more tight, and then...
