Yes, they don’t live long. It’s a bummer because we can grow fond of them. Could you upload the photo again using a smaller size? It didn’t load correctly.

Huh, this is a conundrum. I was a bit concerned about that when I saw the photo. Having the cool side be 70 is OK for now. I think if it was me I would experiment with a slightly higher wattage bulb, regardless of what the manufacturer says. Do this only when you know you will be home all day…no jaunts away from the place for even an hour. Inconvenient, but you want to be sure he’s safe. Is the top solid, or screened?

If you think the nighttime temps might regularly get below 65F then I think a heating pad might be needed. It seldom gets that cool in their native habitat (tropical forests). These guys are pretty hardy, but regularly being chilled may lower their immune systems. A heating pad on a timer that keeps the temps more or less around 70 at night will make them happiest.

All bright and shiny! Does she love her bathes?

Nice looking set-up. More plants will definitely help the humidity. It is very normal for the humidity to be higher at the bottom of the enclosure if the tank has a screened top. I presume this one does, although the angle of the camera makes it hard to be certain. Experiment with the humidity by throwing a piece of cardboard over the top for a few hours, and then measuring the vertical zones again. I think you will find it to be much more uniform. If you do, then you may want to consider closing off a small portion of the screen (not the whole thing, definitely not) to keep the humidity up near the top to keep your froggies most comfortable. They will spend a lot of time at the top, so this detail is important.

They don’t need a lot of light, so 25W should be fine. What is the ambient temperature at the top and the bottom? Does that change with the top partially covered?

Be sure to check out the care guide for White’s Tree frogs on this site for some additional tips and advice on their care and feeding.

That’s great!! Many Chams are just that way, but some remain a bit standoffish their whole lives. What made you decide on a Chameleon?

That’s right, I remember now. And the number I was seeing was the humidity. I thought it probably was, just thought I’d crack a funny.

I forwarded your concern to the boss. Has that email come through yet?

[Zoodulcis]

Such as awesome habitat! I like the easy-to-read digital thermometer stuck onto the branch. I hope it’s reading in Celsius!!

Remind us again of how Rexxar came to be with you. Was he a rescue?

[Zoodulcis]

So excited to be with you it pleases him poopless!! It seems like you two do have fun. How old is Harold?

Look into White’s tree frogs. They are friendly, fascinating, and relatively easy to care for. Two females can cohabitate easily and the croaking should be at a minimum. There are other very nice species out there such as tomato frogs, but only you know how much croaking you can tolerate and where you will be placing the habitat. If you want the frogs to live in your bedroom, you might be uncomfortable with that particular choice of pet.

An attractive girl! Does she have an agreeable personality?

[Zoodulcis]

What a cute pair!! Will there be little beardies in their future?

Sorry but the file is too big. Please reduce the size of the photo and try again.

Not sure what deadnettles are, but nettles of all kinds are very nutritious. People even put them in gourmet cheeses!
