I wish those ones were breeding already. They are just babies at 2 months old. They must be practicing for when they grow up.
Thanks for all the great comments guys

Yes you can house a pair in a 10 gal. Some like to give their frog smore room but i have had many pairs in 10 gals and they have done fine
The whitish one is actually a washed out from the flash mint terriblis they are actually a mint green color.

how is feeding them with the cultures and stuff? i was considering maybe geting a pair but the cultures looked difficult.

Culturing FF is actually very easy. You can buy premade media or even make your own. I have not had to buy flies in over 3 years from culturing my own.
It is always best to make sure you can culture them before you get the frogs. Just to be sure. Any time you would like I walk through on how to make them I will be glad to give you directions.

wow thanks i may have to contact you in a little bit. so the flies keep producing? that sounds really good. one thing possibly holding me back from getting some frogs was that i thought i would have to constantly buy more and more flies. i have to do that with crickets and its a pain in the @$$.

No there is no need to keep buying flies. One culture last about 4 week and produces thousands of flies. I make new cultures ever week just in case of a FF crash which does happen ( only once to me so far) Definately nothing like crickets.
Contact me any time you need to. I am happy to help

oh ok so the culture is the food and that will run out but the flies will keep on reproducing?

Here is what I do.
I use 1/2 cup of media and 1/2 cup boiling water. Mix in a 32 oz ff container( deli cup with vented lid)
After it cools I adda pinch of active yeast. Then some excelsior ( shredded wood that you can buy at craft store) or folded coffee filters. Add about 25-50 flies from exsisting culture and put the lid on.
In about 7-10 days it starts producing flies and will continue to produce for about 3-4 weeks. I start news ones weekly.
Next time I make flies I will try to take step by step pics to give you a better idea. It is actually kinda easy once you get the stuff needed to do it.

I will be doing some work in the frog room rearranging in the next few days so I will definately snap some more pics.
I have picked upa few different kinds of tree frogs also so I might as well snap some pics of them while I am at it.

Some of the you can hear calling during that day. They are not nocturnal. They are active during the day.
Sometimes it sounds like a small jungle when you walk into my frog room in the morning after misting them
