Meet Tiana


So before I go any further into this post you will

notice that our critters have names after a character.

My beautiful little Red-Eyed Tree Frog is of course

named after Tiana from Princess and the Frog, how could I not?


Here are some great defining characteristics of a tree frog:


Great Beginner Tree Frog

Bright Green with Red-Eyes

Bold

Easy to Breed

Loud Call

Large

Can be Housed in Groups


Did you know? Red-Eyed Tree Frogs scientific name

is Agalychnis callidryas, which literally translates into (aga)

plenty of (lychnos) shining (kallos) beautiful (dryas) tree nymph.

This refers to their sparkling eyes, beautiful appearance,

and arboreal habits. The Red-Eyed tree frog is also

known as the Red-Eyed leaf frog.


Recommended Terrarium Size: 


Red-Eyed Tree Frogs are easy to house.

Choose a large enclosure –

an 18x18x24 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium

(or a brand that is that size) is a good size for 2-4

juveniles or adults. I use Reptisoil with mine along

with some moss. I also have springtails in there

to keep the soil clean. I have a nice sized water dish

for it to soak or take a drink. I also mist twice a day to help with humidity and to give her a bath.


Temperature: 


They do best when kept in the mid-high 70s.

Temperatures in the mid/high 80s F can quickly be fatal, especially

when coupled with a lack of water or humidity.

Measure temperature with a digital temperature gauge.


Humidity: 


Red-Eyed Tree Frogs require moderately

high humidity, and are best kept at 60-70% humidity.

Providing ventilation is very important - we recommend

using at least a half screen top. Stagnant, humid conditions

quickly leads to bacterial skin infections in Red-Eyed Tree Frogs.

A large dish of clean water should always be provided.

Monitor humidity with a digital hygrometer.



Age: 


With proper care, Red-Eyed tree frogs

can live up to and over 5 years. 


Feeding:


Tiana loves her crickets as most Tree Frogs do.

You can also give Dubia Roaches as a snack. I feed 5 - 6

large crickets every 2 days. All crickets should be dusted

with Reptile Calcium with D3. I dust her meals twice a week.


I hope you enjoyed seeing my princess and gaining some

information on these cuties. I will post more pictures in the

Facebook group here and there.


So what do you think? Are you ready to get your🐸?

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

  Football has started so everyone wants something to snack on BUT I even look for something different for dinner. I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Home Remedies for Sinus Drainage

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and colds. Warm & Cold Compresses, lay back with the warm compress draped across your nose, cheeks and forehead for 3 minutes. Remove and replace with a cold compress for 30 second
