The Dude gives an update on his Red Eye Tree Frogs

[@herpdiversity9152]

There is definitely not enough people that show how to properly keep red eyes this in depth. Thank you. This is very similar to how I keep them.

[@atticus3743]

Hello I had a quick question. Do you keep them this way with an aquatic base permanently? Or just for breeding?

[@herpdiversity9152]

@@atticus3743 i have a partly aquatic base and partly land. But i keep it year round.

[@herpdiversity9152]

@@atticus3743 as i am sure you know from the video biodude keeps it entirely aquatic base. I only have some as soil because It leaves me with more plant species I can grow.

[@atticus3743]

@@herpdiversity9152 thank you! I’d like to do an aquatic base for myself. Even if I sacrifice a few plants species I feel like I can keep the frogs cleaner

[@zackblauer3837]

Hey man, maybe you could help answer a few questions for me since you have a similar setup to this. Is the water that’s already present in the tank enough for the red eyes to drink from? Or do you still keep a water bowl for them? Any dangers in keeping small fish in the water base? Would they make the water unsafe for the red eyes to drink? And lastly, would a water feature like a waterfall bother the frogs at all? I appreciate your time!

Red eyes are on my bucket list. Working on an enclosure to get some in the spring. I love these care videos.

Hi Josh, I got some plants from you last month and I have to say they are growing well. They arrived on time and in good condition. Thank you.

Hey Bio Dude! After months of research and KZbin searching. I’ve finally come across this vid with a total aquatic tank bottom. Been looking for resources to do it myself. Think you can do an in depth tutorial soon? Or direct me to some info? Thx!

[@forestG719]

You should do a video for a 18x18x24 whites tree frog enclosure!!

[@jfw60]

Fantastic set up, you are a pioneer in reptile amphibian husbandry. I have been keeping them for years and never seen you methods. How do you feed your large colony? Do the crickets drown? And what time of day do you feed them, how do you insure that all frogs are eating?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Thank you!

[@danielleindigo]

Thankyou for this video it’s very very informative and is going to help me as well with my tree frog breeding project. You have one of the best videos, I’ve watched many rain chamber videos, your the only one I’ve seen to successful breed them without a rain chamber. I have this same exact padularium cage but it’s not that size. It’s 12x12x18, maybe I need this larger size, I also wasn’t able to figure out how to get the water bottom and set up like this so I left it as a land gratuities with separate tanks for tadpoles and another for a rain chamber.

[@bananafloat27]

This is a great and informative video...at the same time, I'm often taken aback by the way you talk about yourself and your business... knowing that you keep posters up to send messages to the employees is even more upsetting...maybe I'm totally off-track. Hopefully you are a joy to work with.

[@yoshikagekira3879]

Hey, I’ll be visiting the store this Saturday. I was wondering if you sold bearded dragons at the shop.

[@adriantexas5403]

I believe he does. Although I haven’t been there in a while.

[@yoshikagekira3879]

Ah thanks a lot.

[@erintraicene7422]

Do you just dump in pinheads and they are able to get to them sufficiently?

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hey hey! pretty much! Tong feeding individually is a good way to ensure each frog is getting food.

[@dinisumantri568]

I have a question can any type of tree frog can live in this type of setup?

[@HenDoesTrials]

Hey man, im from the uk, and here it's recommended to suppy uva. Is this necessary? Thanks for your videos. They're awesome!

Are the plants hydro? Or is there hidden soil ?

[@h.2372]

@8:33 we see the biodude flipping off a frog

[@RideAndRoamDuo]

I want to do a similar set up and I was curious as to how you feed them with crickets if there isn't really a land where the crickets can go or if you get a lot that drown or putting a bowl with crickets in it?

[@bongwater1885]

bro... i love you...

Thank you Bong Water, I love you too.

[@jorgeh8325]

Hey bio dude I'm looking into getting a vailed chameleon and I just watched your panthern chameleon video and I really liked it and I want a similar setup for my chameleon, what size cage was that from the video and also could I buy that same substrate from your website? Also I'm looking for the lowest cost possible and I don't know if I'm ready to get the most king system because it is expensive, I have a budget of around $450 here. Any tips or links or anything would be very helpful thanks!

[@allisondabler7515]

Can you do this aquatic setup for Amazon milk frogs?

[@kellynorman3930]

Would they still breed on terra flora with a large water dish available?

​@TheBioDudeJoshHalter Is that just 1 couple? and they lay eggs? Did you think they only did that in groups?

Can you show us how to make a tank like this I just got one similar and I plan on putting my frogs in a similar set up

[@danasmith8557]

I wish u were in Georgia!!

[@brennaconner6512]

Is a paludarium ideal for Red Eyes? Or is that more for breeding purposes? I have 3 in an 18x18x24 bioactive terrarium, but I just recently got this exact Exo Terra and was thinking about setting up something like this. Just wasn’t sure if it was better for the frogs or not.

[@herpdiversity9152]

It mainly make breeding easier but it also in my experience makes it easier to keep a higher humidity. I use a very similar set up to his.

[@zackblauer3837]

Hi Josh! I’ve purchased a good amount of substrates and plants from you in the past. I am working on a new Red Eye enclosure similar to this one with a fully water base. A couple questions for you… do you still keep a water bowl in yours? Or is the water in the tank enough for them? Any danger of them falling into the water? If I had some tetras living in the water below, would it make the water unsafe for the frogs in any way? And lastly, if I had a running water feature of a waterfall in the tank, would it bother the frogs at all? I appreciate your help and will continue to support your business whenever I can!

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hey there Zack! Love the idea you have! Answering in order- yes always provide either a water bowl or an area where fresh water can be drank safely by the animal inside(seeds and nut pods, biodegradeables etc as well). Spraying down the enclosure daily will also be a form of fresh water that the animals can drink off the plants. If there is a large body of water there will unfortunately always be the risk, i would just make sure there are large decor pieces so they can climb onto them and get out. Most frogs can do a minor amount of swimming to get out of water if needed. I have not done a paludarium with fish so i cannot give you a solid recomendation for the tetras, apologies. the waterfall would need great care and maintenance to keep from having issues but it think if the enclosure were a large enough space that they had ample room to be away from it, it would be just fine. Please reach out to [e-mail] and the team can get you setup with the supplies needed for a kit! Hope this helps!! The Dude Abides! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGqQaImMjdufhc0

[@MrWorstNews]

Bio broh!!! Would you recommend the monsoon system/fogger for a similar setup? I know it's not necessary, but it looks cool and let's me be lazy so I can focus on other paludarium related tasks.

[@amphibianoverlord3411]

So wait... are you sticking them outside when it rains instead of doing a rain chamber?

[@yvonneg7580]

😂🥰🤣

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

I have been breeding them for over 9 years without a rain chamber.

[@xtracreativity1]

How do you feed them? Most of the cricket drop in the water of my paludarium

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

Hey there! you can tong feed them, or use a feeding cup to hold the crickets inside and they can fetch them on their own.

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

I really would like to have a few of your baby red eyes.

[@marcgould8922]

Do you not increase the rail fall or more misting to breed 🤔great video dude !

[@DollaBill313]

The barometric pressure from thunderstorms affect the frogs and help with breeding, which is why he mentioned the thunderstorm. You can also lower temps, cut back on feeding, and then put the frogs into a water chamber to help with success.

[@M3Eddie]

Can you get ahold of any white lipped tree frogs?

[@okxymiagaming6807]

How or where do you get your red eyed tree frog dewormed

[@TheBioDudeJoshHalter]

My wife is a veterinarian and my curator of fauna is an experienced exotic veterinary technician, so we deworm them in house. I would recommend trying to find an experienced herp vet in your area. Arav.org is a great resource to find one, as most vets are not experienced in proper amphibian medicine, dosages, etc.

[@chrisdoesstuff3633]

Two red eyes probably an 18x18x18, or 18x18x24 exo terra or 29 gallon aquarium. The whites tree frog should have 18x18x18 exo terra because of their size.

my daughter committed me to project of raising up tadpoles (grays tree frog). we were successful however feel like i made a mistake on stage one where i had a very similar set up (plastic bid) as you but i had about 100 tadpoles in that bid. they seemed to be cannibalistic until the numbers got to about 20 in the bin.. next time around i will separate them out 20 by 20 for that amount of space.
