They are not too fussy!!! I have had them breed in plant trays, my pond is 3" deep and covers almost all of the greenhouse.

The young that i have kept for myself from this year are now about half size so i intend to overwinter them indoors now and give them a short cooling in spring. I think thewy have a good chance of breeding next year.

50% shall be overwintered indoors, 25% in a frost free building, 25% hibernated in an insulated box full of moss. I like to have a variety of methods undergo, (don't put all your eggs in one basket!)

They should befine in most conditions killian, as long as there is areservoir of water available. Remember excess humidity can also lead fungus etc. My greenhouse has a good through flow of air and is always quite dry, but the frigs can find their own spot usually in a plant or something.

As you know, common names are usually some obvious description of the species, the painted frogs have a beautiful pastelly marbling effect a little bit like paisley from the 60's. I shall take some pics as i get chance, but i don't usually use digital so it may take me a while! Then again the quality will be better with SLR!

I wouldn't really class them as little! Especially their characters!

I am extremely excited as this is my favourite anuran species which is seldom seen in captivity these days. To make things even better, The adults spawned last night!!!!!! Please check back later today as i shall post some photos. Adam
