Nice looker there.

WOW!! Awesome picture. I just love those little boogers. They're just stunning. :love: I'd love to have a couple sometime in the future.

Ohhh, very pretty frog! Did not realize they were so colorful till now.

Oh Emily that's a stunning pic! What colors! She posed so nicely too.

thanks all. :) if you think those colors are nice you should see the colors on the sides of these guys--vibrant purples and blues--it's amazing that those colors are on a living being. i'll have to get a pic of the sides--they are soooo beautiful!

Wow, you should really submit that picture, what a cutie!

i love your frog. i love those kind i would like to get one later on

Saw this Emily, and thought of you and your Gertie girl.......

my husband bought me a frog calendar last year for christmas with a red eyed tree frog on the cover. :) frogs are so cute!

Hello that is a amazing picture i've always loved these guys but have even thought about getting one at one time but want to get all the stuff down before looking for good breeder? do you have pics of the enclosure?

i don't have pics at present, but i can describe it. :) it's a 30 gallon tall octagon shaped aquarium with a half glass, half screen top--ventilation is important so you don't want to have an enclosed top. the substrate is bed-a-beast, i have cork bark for a backdrop, fake vines and some tropical type plants and a shallow rubbermaid dish (i think its a sandwhich container) filled with water. you want to use something that is easily cleaned for a water dish because they like to defecate in the water while they are soaking so it needs to be cleaned often.

so they aren't hard to keep then?

i'd say they are about a mid-level frog to keep. not as easy as something like a white's tree frog--they are a bit more delicate than those. and red eyes are really just to look at--not a frog to be handled.

Nice one Emily :D

oooh i can't wait for mine to get bigger and more colourful!!!
