Sometimes I just rewatch this video just to lift my mood. I can tell you are a genuinely kind person and it’s a breath of fresh air on the internet. (Also very informative so thank you!)
I am so happy to see you wearing gloves. I've been fascinated with these guys for decades. So many people on here just handling their D. Antongilii's with bare hands. One that's harmful to the frog. Two it can be hramful to the handler. Their toxins can cause extreme allergic reactions in humans if it gets in the eyes or mouth.
got my own pair of 1 year old Tomato frogs , female and male. Super easy to care for , and the colors pop as they get older. 1 super red and 1 super yellow. Love them , never made any noise , eat well.
Females are usually more red and males are usually more orange and yellow. If your yellow one is a male you’ll eventually hear it croaking. Scarlet doesn’t croak a lot, but when he does I can here him from almost anywhere in my house. It’s always a nice surprise to hear him.
I personally don’t have a tomato frog but I have always liked there personalities and vivid colors from tomato frogs I have seen. I currently have an African Dwarf Frog named Og who I raised from a tadpole, but one day I may get a tomato frog. Also great video, I like your energy
I am planning on getting a tomato frog soon, so just thank you for the tips on how to handle them. Gonna try to make the frog feel good by carefully looking after him
My job (PetSmart) just got a tomato frog, it's the first for me. This is a great video, a lot more informative than our care guides. I'll definitely be recommending this to anyone who's interested in our new guy :D
@@maclainrivera635 Thank you. It is funny about the name. If you’ve seen in the other video about my bull frog, who I named Lucille. I thought she was a girl because her throat was white. Now she’s started croaking and I realized Lucille is also a boy. So I have two boy frogs with girls names.
Some people think they’re boring because they just sit in one place. But I’ve kept a lot of different frogs and I think tomato frogs have the most lovable personalities.
@@WonderfulWorldReptilesI definitely agree ❤️ mine hides a lot but he comes out quite a bit at night and I'm a bit of a restless night owl so we work well together haha I won mine at a reptile expo in a raffle and he's so fun to watch eat. This video helped me a lot with his last min rushed set up 😅 They're especially great for someone who prefers a more looking, less touching pet! Scarlet is adorable ❤️
@@Carlie_flower Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful. Yes, sometimes in the middle of the night I’ll hear water splashing and find that Scarlet is doing canon balls in his water dish.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles haha yes! I love seeing mine in his water dish. His name is mustard since he's pretty yellow lol I swear I'm constantly changing his dish because he's always splashing his dirty lil buns around in it 😂💛
Thank you so much for this video! I just got one of these adorable angry lookin little dudes, and there is a severe lack of good youtube videos about them! One thing I'd like to hear abit more about - What kind of substrate do you use? I have a mix of coco fiber and spaghnum moss, but maybe some more soil type of substrate is better for them to burrow in? Thanks again!
th-cam.com/video/K303MAFbD-o/w-d-xo.html This is a link to a video on my channel that shows how I make my substrate mix. It’s a good substrate for any vivarium.
This is a great video. My tomato frog hasn’t been eating lately and sometimes will eat superworms but won’t eat dubias or crickets. I thinks he’s always too stressed out when I feed him. As soon as he can see me he just hides and doesn’t even look at any of the food. Even if I just put the crickets in there for him he just doesn’t go for it. I’ve left them in there overnight and still all there. He seems pretty fat but idk how long they can go without eating.
Thanks. Well, I don't even try to tong feed Scarlet because he just won't eat that way for me. He also never eats in front of me. I almost wouldn't know that he eats except for the fact that he poops, so I know he eats. As long as his body condition looks good and I see that he poops I feel pretty confident that he's fine. I just put several crickets in his enclosure every two or three days and let him do the rest. Frogs of all species are generally pretty skittish animals. So I think them not wanting your interaction with them is pretty normal.
I found with my pet fowlers toad, like like your tomato frogs, that they never really moved either. I had 1 in a 20 long and he hardly moved out of 1/3 o 1/4th of the tank. He mostly picked a side with a log to be inside and just sat there 24/7. So even though he is a larger toad, he doesn't seem to want or care about more than 5 gallons of space.
Hello, my tomato frog’s chin area has been swollen for the past 4 days and hasn’t gone down. Would you recommend any treatment or supplements that might help? Can’t afford the vet so I’m stuck to very little information on next steps. Should I put him down if it worsens?
@@tony19989 I'm sorry to hear that. I'm definitely not a vet so I can't give you any advice there. With amphibians though it usually comes down to not much a vet can do. I wish I could be more help than that.
So would like 70 or 72 degrees in my home be too cool for my froggy? I want to avoid artificial heat if possible but I typically keep my home around 69 degrees, I’d be willing to turn it up, but not by much. I live in Virginia so it’s typically quite warm in spring and summer, and in winter I would consider a heating pad to ensure my froggy friend was warm enough
I’ve seen some people say that tomato frogs like a little higher temperatures, like close to 80. I also saw someone add a small heat mat the the side of their enclosure. But that worries me. Temperatures too high can be very bad for frogs. I don’t use any supplemental heat with any frogs. I try to be a little conservative about temperatures for frogs because a little low is not as bad as too high. The temperature in my reptile room stays around mid 70s during the day and drops to high 60s or 70 at night. If you do use any heat source be careful. Use a thermostat and monitor it closely. Mid 70s would be good. Low 70s is not that bad, but I wouldn’t keep it below 70 during the daytime. I hope that helps.

This helps me out a lot with frogs
Thank you, I’m glad it was helpful.
Love him fantastic name by the way ! Will be getting one in the future for sure
Love your video, i have a tomato named ravioli!!
Ravioli…that’s excellent. I’ve always thought and excellent name for a pair of frogs would be ravioli and tortellini.
Is it a tomato frog or just a tomato lol jk
Omg i love that name 😭

Thank you. 😀
I love your videos and I’ve been thinking about getting a tomato frog soon!
Thank you so much. 😀
Love this video!! I’m thinking about getting a tomato frog eventually when I have more space 😊
Thanks. You should. They’re pretty simple to take care of.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles Sounds good :D

@@WonderfulWorldReptiles we’re can you order tomato frogs from or do you get them in the wild?
@@owenthegameboy6163 I ordered mine from a breeder on morphmarket.com
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles thank you!😊

@@someguy3167 It's funny how you can love so much a pet that never moves. Scarlet's been hidden under the same plant for weeks now.🤣
The Chillest frog I've ever seen, didn't even move an inch
He is a chill little dude.

Am I not turtle enough for the turtle club
Believe in yourself. You are turtle enough.
Do you have a breeder you can share?
I got mine at a local shop, but you could also look at morphmarket.com
the pronoun joke had me laughing on the floor!
😀
He is so cute lol “I think he wants me to use the they, them pronoun come thru non binary frog ❤️👏😫🖤
😀
Scarlet says trans rights!!!
Subscribing for being so accepting of his/their gender identify.
Thank you. 😀
