sneaky2 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 i would do but all used up. i can talk to the guy that makes it normaly he only does large runs because the raw product is expensive and has a limited shelf life when opened. last time i got a sheet when he was doing a large run(20 sheets) it still cost me around$850 for a sheet.

Or is build the only option building is the way to go, and can be done at a pretty good price too if you shop around for your materials. mine cost next to nothing to build and turned out pretty nice. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reuben.a Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 here's some pictures of my set ups. first lot is the new whistling tree frog tank - no frogs yet but hopefully getting some in the next week or two and a few mountain minnows for the water area. have a heap of java/christmas moss over the land area and waiting for that to come away...big thanks to sophia for the moss! second lot is the leopard gecko enclosure and the hides i made. third lot is the diy water dragon enclosure:D Whistling tree frog vivarium Leopard gecko enclosure Water dragon enclosure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insectile Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 frog tank looks really good. You will need to add a lot more branches though if you are wanting Whistling Tree Frogs as they are climbers. Mine only come to the ground if i'm feeding terrestrial bugs such as small meal worms etc and spend the rest of the time perched in various crevices and nooks between branches and driftwood and stuff.. You will also need to reduce the amount of water as whistlers aren't that keen on swimming. All I have for mine is a 10cm round x 3cm dish for them to bathe in when they feel like it (which isn't often as I spray them every other day to keep them moist).

gocada Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Spanish moss is cool and survives quite well in cages hanging from branches, also maybe some wind grasses ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insectile Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 that will explain why I dont see mine a hell of a lot.. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 that will explain why I dont see mine a hell of a lot.. :roll: probably - also more active at night? I get what your are going for as they do seem to like branches. key is food and they like a mist from time to time eh. little ones opening their mouth to the spray is classic every time :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do crickets bring them out more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 mine don't really have any where to hide so hard to comment. any food during the day should help bring them out - flies in particular would be good for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insectile Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Flies are a staple in summer, for the Whistlers and the Golden bells. We get hit with enough flies to feed the frogs for a couple of years when it warms up, not the nicest things to have buzzing round your house when in such numbers. :-?
