      AfroHerpkeeper how do you get an African bullfrog

    • @AfroHerpkeeper
      @AfroHerpkeeper  6 лет назад +1

      Nathan, anywhere between 70 and 80 Fahrenheit should be alright, My Curse, there are lots of different places - you can often find breeders on social media or at reptile expos, but I’ve even seen babies available at Petco

      Jangzii, you sure can, but I don't recommend letting it stick to his food. Be sure you spot clean any waste you might find as well.

    With regard to the Silicone Sealant - as you said, it's important to get one that says 'aquarium safe' if possible, but, if you simply can't find one that says 'aquarium safe' (depending on your country, some people may not be able to find specifically 'aquarium safe' silicone) - make sure you get one that says 'ACID CURE'.
    It seems really counter-intuitive, there are two types of silicone sealant you can buy, one is 'acid cure' and one is 'neutral cure'.
    I learned the really hard way (about 30 years ago now!!) that the neutral cure silcone (which was new at the time and I thought would be awesome - no pH mucking around) is sudden death.
    The acid-cure gives off acetic acid (basically vinegar) at quite low concentrations. The neutral cure, on the other hand, can give off FORMALDEHYDE as a by-product (and those which don't give off formaldehyde give off other animal-killing stuff).
    This not only kills any animals (in my case - fish) you put in immediately after your silicone cures, but will go on killing water-change after water-change.
    As I said, the neutral-cure was fairly new when I had my fish-mageddon, and I asked lots of fish-keepers why they thought this tank kept killing anything that went into it , after a couple of weeks I mentioned it to an aquarist who simply asked 'have you recaulked the tank recently?'. Then we worked out what was going on.
    We considered scraping the silicone off and re-using the glass, but, in the end, didn't want to risk hurting any more fish, so we smashed the tank and put it into glass recycling as we couldn't be sure of getting 100% of the silicone off.
    I think it's really important to explain exactly WHY people need to get specific silicones because even since then I've had people in hardware stores recommend neutral cure silicone to me when they've asked what I'm going to use the silicone I've chosen for, I've said on fish, or frog, tanks, they've said 'Hey, we have neutral cure, so you won't have to worry about acid in the tank!'. Of course I've assisted them with their knowledge base... ;)
    Anyway, I thought this might be an interesting thing to include in one of your videos sometime.
    Your new Giant Avocado is gorgeous, by the way - I wish we could get some of the amazing species you have here in Australia, but I guess we have quite a few awesome ones ourselves :)

    @graphite2786 6 лет назад +52

    Excellent vid! However a little bit of advice with the land/aquatic divider, glass isn't good. It's fragile, it can injure, depending on the creature it offers little grip, it's ugly.
    A better solution is a limestone or sandstone paver or tile. They offer more grip for entering/exiting, are robust and can be chipped and sanded to make rounded edges.
    Generally I'll get a 50cm limestone tile and cut it in half, using an angle grinder to flatten and sculpt the cut edge.
    Then I'll install it like you did with the glass, cut edge upwards.
    For wider tanks you may have to join tiles to bridge the width of the tank, aquarium silicone is fine.
    This method is exceptional for chelonians and young crocodilians too.
    (A cheap angle grinder is an awesome tool for scaping; add a diamond tile cutting blade and you can cut, tile stone, glass ceramic etc.)

    • @AfroHerpkeeper
      @AfroHerpkeeper  6 лет назад +9

      Thanks for the recommendation - I'll keep it in mind in the future! Glass is just what I had available, and for this guy I'm not too concerned. He can't quite thrash around with the same ferocity of a crocodilian, and he has legs strong enough to jump over the divider.

    • @graphite2786
      @graphite2786 6 лет назад +10

      AfroHerpkeeper No worries. I've had a fair bit of experience designing enclosures for mass breeding programs (function, cost, suitability) and we found tiles were the best solution, the biggest outlay was the tools and sealant.
      We were concentrated on small endangered riverine amphibians and glass was too risky and expensive.
