    Im sad to say I have failed as a keeper and I thought I had the understanding of this species down. But alas I was wrong.....Jabba didn’t make it out of her hibernation. Partly due to me not continuously checking on her.....the substrate that I bought from Bio dude failed me in keeping her substrate moist enough. We misted the enclosure once a week but still wasn’t enough. I honestly don’t know what she died from but I can only imagine it was dehydration or Toxic Out Syndrome. She did display symptoms of it right before I switched her to her bio active enclosure. I didn’t look into it till after. I think I’ll just stick with my lizards and snakes moving forward. I’m sorry I failed you girl. Rest easy now....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6cd08c34fa.jpg

    So sorry for your loss...I don't know a thing about keeping these but you did the best you knew how & it might NOT have been your fault. If their hibernation
    is anything like that for snakes, as I understand it their immune system pretty well shuts down, meaning that anything they might have had prior, even something
    minor that had they been active they could have fought off, that can be fatal in hibernation. (I have no idea what Toxic Out syndrome is...:confusd:)

    Rest in peace, Jabba

    sadly because frogs cant drink water from their mouth they absorb water though their skin...Toxic Out Syndrome is a husbandry problem that could have been prevented...they're at that point absorbing their pee and dirty water from my understanding.

    you are a good keeper, friend. <3

    mistakes happen, but unfortunately our mistakes impact the lives of our animals much greater than our own which is a very heavy part of keeping animals.

    RIP little one.

    chin up, Aerries. <333
