N1CK Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Depending on where they come from in Oz depends on their colour also (though most are still brown) , you should see if you could get any more like that where you found that one that is if it is a whistler...

Insect Direct Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yeah I couldn't catch any of the bell frogs though I will try and catch one and post a pic tomorrow. if you have both in there thats very interesting, i wonder if/how frequent the two species share habitats ......... maybe the bells are just moving in to enjoy the menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 They are all tree frogs---whistlers, southern bells and green and golds, and all are strains obviously they cross paths, but do they actually occupy the same habitats and do ok? I wouldnt of thought so but maybe they can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 yes they can occupy the same habitats of course big eats small when it comes to frogs none of my whistlers have shown much green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr McFish Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have a fairly large pond that are full of bell frogs of some sort and then I get a pool full of tadpoles this time of year. Then the bell frogs seem to come up for a snack I think as I have never seen any big tadpoles like I do in the pond. There are lots of whistlers that still survive though.

Insect Direct Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 ok heres the whistlers setup (i tried abreviate whisting tree frog :lol: ). shes a bit busy as im just experimenting with the plants for now. may even go all out and add some substrate one of these days anyone know what this is (was sold with a "spider plant" label -Chlorophytum-) but doesnt look like the common spider plant i see around...or maybe this is just a young plant and hasnt got mature foliage yet?

Zev Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I don't think it is, C comosum, they start off from the word go with the variegated leaves, which are more slender than the one you have - if you want some, I can send you some 'pups' Perhaps C orchidastrum or C amaniense? http://www.personalplantservice.com/pla ... der-plant/ Don't you like my word censor? Whistlers don't have a good set of initials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 aha tht would make sense been another variety. thanks i may take you up on that at some stage, probably got enough plants in there for today though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr McFish Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I have around 30 that colour in the pic and they are all the same size. I can't find any adult whistlers around but I can hear them at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1CK Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 nice setup , I'm guessing thats a mister in the top left corner? I'm guessing its on a timer? i think a PDF type terrarium would be good for whistlers theres some really neat ones out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 thanks, yep mister diy kiwi style Its mainly for the plants, I give them about 10-20seconds misting each morning. and if the tank is full of flies i dont have to open the doors to mist etc not bad for under 20bux i thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
