You WOULD remind me of that!

After my initial stupidity, I'm using Sterilite 3X6 containers now, with snap down lids on a rack. The cats cannot knock these over. (Says the person who didn't think they could knock over an entire corner cupboard of Hummel figurines and break them all, until hearing the crash.)

The second photo is a picture of the one D. galactonotus tad from an egg mass that I recovered and hatched. I'm waiting for them to settle down a bit to recover some more, I hope. Right now, the breeding is rather overly enthusiastic, and the old girls are laying eggs in piles and messing them up as fast as they lay them. It's their first experience, so it's hard to recover eggs before they destroy them by trampling. I was actually surprised when I saved this one, because it really didn't look all that good.

The first picture is just to show the sibling of the new froglet as he looks today--well behind him in maturity, but you can see the color on him fairly well. I think he is at least two to three weeks behind his egg-mate, who is eating fruit flies in a permanent tank and hopping around like an adult already.
