Look what I have now!

Oh that is so cool and thank you for pointing out where your little tad pole was in the picture. LOL I did not see him at first. I keep thinking about dart frogs but with my father and his current dementia I can barely keep up with my snakes. Please post photos of the little guy as he grows.

Maybe I can post "find Franklin" photos. LOL

This one is kinda easy.

"Franklin" is starting to show signs of developing back legs!

I was going to get frogs, but keeping the bugs was a deterrent for me. I don't mind them just keeping up with them was the problem lol. Here is my very first tank I was building for frogs. Now it just sits empty because I couldn't keep the humidity up in it. This is the first one I ever made so it isn't pretty rotfl. I knew what I wanted but my mind and actually making it didn't click :laugh:

I love it!! I tried once to make my own natural aquarium with a water feature and what not and... as soon as I started applying the black lacquer ( I forgot exactly what it is) I realized that they are WAYYY harder to make than I had previously imagined. :sobstory: :laugh:
I've always wanted to create a natural self sustaining viv though!

Also I found a fruit fly supplier at a local expo and it really wasn't too hard to grow cultures. Fruit flys would probably make their way out though with that mesh top.

Franklyn looks great!! I'm inspired.

There's a couple different fruitfly species, some bigger, and probably wouldn't be able to get through the screen.
I won't have screen on my enclosure, so I'm not worried about that.

I'm so excited for Franklin to turn into a frog!
I've been told that the transition from water to air breathing can be a critical time, so I am hoping he/she makes it through that transition.

Look who is growing up!
Franklin now has legs and has developed color.

 

[Jessicat]

Aww he's really coming along. Thanks for the update, what a cutie!

 

[Tavia]

Looks like a frog now!

 

[MysticExotics]

He/she is almost there! I moved Franklin to a mini (temporary) enclosure for now.

 

[DollysMom]

He's so cute! What a sweet little froggy.

Good job "mom" !!!

Looks great! Finally beginning to look like a frog! Quite a difference from when you brought your little tadpole home isn't it? Must be eating okay.

 

[Dragonling]

So cool! It must be neat watching Franklin's metamorphosis. Tinc and azureus dart frogs have made it to my wishlist as of late. Maybe someday!

 

[Nanci]

Wow- I wouldn't have expected the transformation to take nearly that long! He's so cute!!

It's so cool to see them transform from a tadpole to a frog

Good job "mom" !!!

Thanks! I didn't do anything, really. LOL

The tadpole part is easy, but now it's the feeding of fruit flies. I hope he/she continues to grow!
This is my first frog.

It was so cool! Now I have a froglet! So cute!
I'm sure I will end up with a couple more of them.

Matt said the transformation takes a while. It seemed like forever! LOL
