Replicating a Jungle Oasis for a Growing Tree Frog Colony

  • Earlier this year, my Cuban Tree Frog tadpoles had finished their metamorphosis into frogs. It’s been a slow journey since, but I managed to get them some friends who are roughly the same size. They needed a place to live and thrive together until they’re large enough to enter their final home, so I made them one. This jungle oasis turned out great; the frogs love it and seem to appreciate having more strength in numbers.

    What should I name the last frog? I can’t get enough of these little frogs, but they won’t stay this small for much longer. They’re following a similar growth rate as Mark, which means they’ll increase exponentially soon. I'm looking forward to the day when they all can live together. Until then SerpaSquad, I hope you all enjoyed this video and have a great weekend!

    I may have a name idea for you - Yuzu - along with a short story:
    4 years ago, I found a small fowler's toad outside that was injured; the skin on his right arm was torn, revealing the muscular tissue beneath it. It looked as if he was attacked by a bird or a raccoon. I took this little guy in and named him Kiwi. For 2 weeks he was too scared to eat, until he gathered up his courage. Since then, he became one of the friendliest toads I have ever seen. He enjoyed being held, constantly begged for attention, and ate a variety of foods from my fingers or tongs. Over the years I had upgraded his enclosure; starting from a quaint little 12x12x12" bioactive vivarium with nothing but bark and moss. He eventually moved to a 12x12x18 with plants, an 18x18x24 (which can be seen on my channel), and finally, a few months ago, his final home; a 24x18x18 with a huge variety of plants, moss, and leaf litter, a large "pond", and a cleanup crew consisting of red wiggler worms, 2 species of springtails (1 uninvited native), detritus mites, and isopods, along with 2 girlfriends. He thrived in his enclosure until 3 weeks ago, when his health started going downhill. He was old for a fowler's toad (4 years, 4 months to be specific - for reference, the oldest fowler's toad in captivity was 2 years and 5 months.) A few days ago, it was Kiwi's time...I will forever miss the way that he stalked me, his silly noises, and the way he begged for attention by following me around the pet room. I will never be the same without you, Kiwi. Thank you for making my last 4 years tolerable.
    My name idea for your unnamed frog is the name of Kiwi's first girlfriend; Yuzu. She started off scared, as many toads do, but her personality has blossomed. She's growing into a beautiful girl, a ferocious eater, and begs for attention, following me around the room, just like how Kiwi did. Please note that you don't have to name your tree frog Yuzu, but it would make my day. It fits into your exotic fruit theme as well, like it did mine, but don't feel pressured by me to do so.
    Thank you for your amazing, calming, and inspirational videos that I've enjoyed over the past 7 years. I will forever be a fan of your art.

    It's crazy how much influence you had on my life. Because of you I learned so much about plants and stuff like this. I found out really fast, that it's not about the animals for me. I love creating stuff with plants and waterstuff an of course landscaping. I'm here for a few years now and it's time to say thank you. You opened the door for my most loved hobby ever. Thank you man.
    Oh and if I EVER get rich, I will definetly hire you (if possible) to build an amazing Paludarium for and with me. 😍

    Idk why but the name Apple came to mind. Like a green apple. So cute! Love the back story and all the video edits. You show your gift for making a mini movie (documentary) as well as your gift for creating ecosystems. Your love for frogs shines too. This is such a wonderful video to watch and help me stop scrolling through all the destruction from Helene. I don’t want to stop praying for those who lost everything but I think I need a break from it. Sadly they can’t take a break. God be with them. 🙏🏻 Thank you for this reminder of peaceful times and the way things should be.

    Honeydew! Perfect cute name for a sweet little female frog with a patterned cream and green back with vibrant light green underneath. Or Cherimoya, aka custard apple. Light but vibrant green skin with soft ivory or cream colored flesh.

  • @dergus8833
