Hello all! I just typed this huge thing out, very detailed and everything, and it didn't go through when my computer screwed up, so i'm just going to do a short version now before i explode.

I have a 4x4 Grow tent, under a 600w HPS ducted lamp, with one fan on a 3 tiered shelf type thing, and a ton of plants in there (spent a few years in the service autodidacting, now in college for biology for that official learnin'). I plan on getting at least one rather large rubermaid type container, and turning into a kind of, flooded jungle pond or something, maybe a waterfall or something? idk....It will have some vegetation above it, so the Phyllomedusa Bicolor can hang out there, with some artificial vines leading to other good spots. On the floor, the potted plants will have cheezecloth staked to close the small spaces between the crowded pots, and topped with an undetermined substrate, prob a coco mix.

the container will have a ramp leading up to the "jungle floor", where hopefully i can find some bufo's to attempt and breed, wich i've read up on, as well as care for both these species.

I also plan on have 2-4 kritter keepers to have cultures of different food for them, and a few minnows in the "pond" to maybe make both species think there would be ample food for thier offspring.

Anyway, i would like everyone's thoughtful opinions,, but let it be known i have no intention of "milking" either species. Bicolors won't be active captive, and ew on the bufo's, not to mention i'm not sure how moral it is to do that ya dig? so lets drop that talk here please.

I really would just like to successfully breed both, in the same vivarium, and i have the space, and environmental controls to do so, so lets have some fun!
