hey guys/girls. like i have stated before, my new obsession is red eye tree frogs. my super pet is getting some in on monday. the guy said that they hardly ever get them in, but they are 75 bucks a pop. is this a good deal, ok deal, or bad deal? also, i was thinking of getting a 18x18x24. how many pairs could i keep in that? i was thinking about 2 or more because i heard that it is better to keep two or more pairs in the same enclosure, because that will obviously give you more babies. also i would like any info on breeding and rearing young that you guys have. thanks in advance.
 
you'd have to make sure you get male/female pair obviously. The price seems high. I'd say $20-30 is about the max I'd pay. Check kingsnake.com out for good prices on red eyes.
As for breeding them, just make sure you keep the environment for them. Lots of plants, lots of humidity and a proper light cycle. Use plants with broad leaves for best results. I'd put flat dishes of water in with them as well. A misting system would be a nice touch to keep humidity up.
