Default would like to see my waxies?

Meet Eee & Tee my Waxy Monkey Frogs

If you are thinking about getting some of these frogs I would defo say get some! They are great. I was saying to Sarah (Art_Gecko) how I used to be a 'white's rule' chick but when I started to read about these I thought wooooooooooooooow they are amazing... and they are. I love the way they sit out in the open 'in the sun' so to speak (well under my basing lamp) and it is fab to see them massage themselves with their 'wax' really impressive.

Heres how i got them set up;

at the mo they are in a fauna as they are tiny, Eee is about the size of a fat £2 coin and Tee is about a 2p coin.
quite a thick layer of kitchen roll for substrate
zoo med clamp lamp with 60w clear b/lamp run on a dimmer set to 35 degress c
small heat mat underneath the fauna at one side (helps the damp air rise, stopping the b/lamp from drying out the fauna to quickly at the top)
a bendy jungle vine for them to sit on, which they do
a small plant at both end for shelter
and a fairly large-ish water dish in the middle

Humidity is kept between 40-60% I'm feeding them crickets and locusts and waxies.

Here are some pics (some more on the website too)
