I've been waiting for this one! We have a saying in this part of 🇨🇷 Costa Rica (Southwest Pacific corner) 80 degrees, 80% humidity, 80 percent of the time. Great video!
I was blown away at how you was able to name every single plant lol 😅😅😅😅 your amazing Dave your one of the reasons I love reptiles and amphibians to this day you have passion and knowledge. You’re the G.O.A.T in this industry and this life. 🎉🎉🎉
I'm gonna say this again Dav you have one of the most underrated channels on here. Your vids and the educational is by far the best. Nobody else is going out and showing us how they live in the wild and the educational part of it has well if there is another channel doing this yours is the best brother.
This was incredibly informitive Dav! You covered so much and didn't just spout something you read, you showed it right up front! Very well done. I appreciate the calm demeanor.
As someone who has seen them wild and bred them i have to say great job. Also thank you as this is great for setting up the Biotope paludarium tank video i am working on. For the care stuff i can just leave a link to your video and focus on enclosure design.
Thanks Dave! I have some Of these guys at home and I visited my family in panama and Costa Rica and couldn’t find one, with this video you’ve helped me so much!
WOW! Mike has an amazing grasp on what they need and goes through a lot to get and match the information. Beautiful frogs! Blue is my favorite color and I like it with that shade of green.
Love this video series about the reptiles we keep that are living in the wild! I hope to see more of these in the future 🙌 (Sorry if my wording is bad)
Love seeing these frog vids. Live in Panama so I see some of this in my back yard as well. Such great education for kids and adults alike. Keep them coming Dav
Yaaaay dav! Red eyed tree frogs where always my fav as a kid. And we have some weird tree frogs here in the upper peninsula that hangout all over this one light house right by me here.. Its haunted supposedly all i know is there's tons of sticky footed tree frogs all over the thing inside. Ill try finding a pic and dming you it. Or better yet lets go herping up here this year guyssss 😅😲💛 happy new year hope this year treats all of us a little better.
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures one day my friend we will herp up here.. There alot more turtles frogs toads etc than people think in a place that is this cold. I think it would make a fantastic video. Specially when everyone comes out in spring the biiig pine snakes etc. Of course you can knock out a fishing adventure or two up here too 😉😁😅 I mean we are having a cold snap right now its only 10 outside with over a foot of snow and ice supposed to be -10 over night by the end of the week.. Always wondering about the cold blooded etc animals when this happens ya know. I almost feel bad about it hahaha. But yes haunted places are def my favorite. Its the stonington lighthouse on the stonington peninsula.
@@mikeayers8951 could very well be.. We just call them sticky foots cause well.... They have sticky feet lmao. Theyre all over the place right in that one specific area. And thats the place all the monarch butterflies migrate too also. The entire peninsula at the very end that has the lighthouse im talking about is a gathering place for the butterflies too. Its beautiful im sure if you search upper peninsula stonington peninsula butterflies itll show you it. Beautiful.
Must take a lot of patience do have footage in different locations around the world until you can make a full video. It took this video to the next level. Awesome job.
hi Dav mate your vids of are we keeping them right are so informative love the dedication you have is there any chance you can do 1 of these for the western Australian frog speices we have here as alot of care sheets that are here don't go into as much detail as you do .
Love this video format, you learn so much about the species by seeing it in the wild and that makes it so much easier to understand their care requirements in captivity
The first time I saw a leaf frog was in Siquirres (Costa Rica) there was frogs all over even salamanders and snakes back in Panama I can't perceive that amount of diversity.
Would I be correct in assuming the same care would apply to Lemur leaf frogs? I'm struggling to find comprehensive care guides for the species. Also what would be the best method to maintain that temperature in a paludarium that's in 75 degrees day/night ambient temps? In an Exoterra 36x36x18 Paludarium I have a mistaking set to go off 4 times per day @20 seconds and an ink bird controlled exhaust fan on the lighthood to maintain humidity. TIA!
Amazing video, thanks for the info! Maybe a dart frog in the wild video would be fun? I would really love it and it would be usefull for beginning dart frog keepers like me
Awesome vid man. About to start a build for them and this helped. Thanks for making it. Is there a link to mike novies you tube or anything? Tried to find it but no luck.
I love red eyed tree frogs. I have always found it so amazing that they lay their eggs on the underside of leaves, and not just in the water or mud like I have always seen here in MN. Just out of curiosity, are leaf frogs still in the general tree frog family, hylidae?
Usually best to leave a hygrometer to stabilise for more accurate reading of relative humidity, maybe ten minutes. Note how it was dropping in the video.
I need some help from an experienced person who knows reptile habitats. I need to know what would be the best solution to seal the inside of a wood-built habitat, base and side, where dirt/substrate will see moisture and all the other things Tegu lizards do? I will be building the 4 x 8 bottom half enclousure soon. I will paint the outside with some sort of durable paint to make look nice but I want the inside to be as tough as nails and last years.
After years I learned to recognize the calling and their habitat, but I noticed they love to hide in mud ponds and what we call monte or bushes not like the fancy photos of them sleeping on bromeliads and orchids😂
I want a reptile or amphibian but my mom keeps it like 65F in our home and our humidity is like 17 percent on a good day, I am afraid I won't be able to maintain the proper temps and humidity. I have never owned a long term pet reptile I use to find them at my childhood homes from box turtles to frogs but I never kept them more than a day or even that long cause I knew as a child they wouldn't want to live in my house. Any advice would be awesome! I hope you and yours had a wonderful xmas and a Happy New year!
Saw these guys in Tortuguero. 70% humidity is what’s recommended in the hobby. Our readings during the dry season was a lil less than 80% in Red Eye epicenters. Just two cents to think on.
I love these "Are we keeping them Correctly" videos. I'm curious if you have any plans on doing One for the Savanaha monitor or tegu? You see I suspect that Savannah Monitors might do real well on Uncooked shelled seafood, as well as discoids. and I like Tegus
Relative humidity is dependent upon the temperature. Why did the humdity increase at night? It increased ONLY because the temperature went down. There isn’t suddenly more water in the air…. Simply put, the relative humidity in an enclosure will always drop at night IF the temperature drops a few degrees. People don’t need to be adding more water at night to make that happen. It will happen due to the basic properties of air to hold different amounts of water at different temperatures. For those that truly want to understand the science, please, please please take some time to research the equations that are used to determine relative humidity. It will be enlightening!
Did you arrive during the mating season, or do they have it all the time? I have two at home. They are really young. And they are Brother and sister. So Im afraid they might not care, and start getting ideas at some point.
was once told to look for those white spots as signs of Chytridiomycosis.. however could never follow that up with literature.. What are those white dots? they do not belong there 2:46
I've been waiting for this one!

This video makes me feel so Happy. Maybe things really are getting back to normal.🌍
Glad to hear that! Sure seems like it
We can only hope
This didnt age well..
My favourite type of video. Love the in-depth investigations and expositions of the animals you feature in the "are we keeping them correctly"-videos.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them!
10:24 is my reaction too when I see Dav has posted a new video.
Costa Rica a paradise for these frogs .so cute .love this expedition you took us on
The Caribbean blues are my favorite, I think that blues look amazing on animals
This channel deserves millions of subs! 🐸
Thanks Lori!
The morphs and the way they walk is so cool!!
love the video mate crazy cool frogs. 😁
Cool af, as always. Those frogs are amazing. The morphology, the colors...mmmwah!
this is the first time i've ever wanted a hangover
What a delight to be in Costa Rica! Thoroughly enjoyed your focus on these gorgeous little frogs.
This was incredibly informitive Dav! You covered so much and didn't just spout something you read, you showed it right up front! Very well done. I appreciate the calm demeanor.

I must do it now lol :)
Thanks Dave! I have some Of these guys at home and I visited my family in panama and Costa Rica and couldn’t find one, with this video you’ve helped me so much!
Here in india's western ghats we have a very similar species of frogs that looks like the red eyed tree frogs, it's called the Malabar gliding frog.
I'd love to find those one day
Love this series! Great job!
Thanks bro! Glad you enjoy it!
WOW! Mike has an amazing grasp on what they need and goes through a lot to get and match the information. Beautiful frogs! Blue is my favorite color and I like it with that shade of green.
Great video...just got one for my sister...they are sooo awesome....they have the wow factor...those eyes in person though!
You really Crack me Up Dav 😂!!! Love watching your Videos. Pura Vida
Love this video series about the reptiles we keep that are living in the wild! I hope to see more of these in the future 🙌
(Sorry if my wording is bad)

I’m all about those Caribbean blues
Those little guys are adorable! Great video!

Thanks for the video.
Saw you first in the buildoff video and decided to check out your videos today. I'm binging!
Awesome information u are a great fun explainer, it has inspired me to get them Brian Howie from Edinburgh Scotland

The only thing like better than haunted places is herping them! Happy new year to as well!
I used to find Gray Tree Frogs up in the UP when I was a kid, maybe those are what you're seeing. They're super cool.

They are both beautiful!
Perfect timing, I was just getting curious about these little guys
Fascinating! I can’t get enough of your videos lately, thanks for this.

Love this video format, you learn so much about the species by seeing it in the wild and that makes it so much easier to understand their care requirements in captivity
Great video and enjoy yourself in Puerto Rico amazing stuff there
Very beautiful frog!!
Here in Panama we have found them and poison arrow frogs in our yard. And we are nearly in Panama City but in a green area.
this is AMAZING thank you so much!
Glad you like it!
Dave could you please tell me if the small white dots are typical or are they parasites? Thank you.
I wondered that as well and as far as I can tell it's just debris from the plants
These are your best videos! I love your others, but these are so helpful to the hobby.
This is awesome! I didn't even know they had morphs!
The first time I saw a leaf frog was in Siquirres (Costa Rica) there was frogs all over even salamanders and snakes back in Panama I can't perceive that amount of diversity.
Did you see the bull that was being said about Kevin and NERD? Donny did an awesome rebuttal video🥰
Sweet adventure Dāv!
Thanks bro!
The sleeping frogs are so cute

My Absolutely Favorite !
Mine too!
I love them both but I'd have to say the blues🥰🥰🥰🥰
nice dude that you are covering the native costa rica plants , not gonna lie ,sometime i am not looking at animals but plants , moss , etc , lol
Me too. I always like to get the best ideas for how to design terrariums and going to the source is the best way
Amazing video, thanks for the info! Maybe a dart frog in the wild video would be fun? I would really love it and it would be usefull for beginning dart frog keepers like me
Solid work!
Thanks!
My favorite way to breed is to have a paludarium and simply raise humidity for a couple days when it is time to breed.
Great video!! 😃
Thanks! 😃
Awesome vid man. About to start a build for them and this helped. Thanks for making it. Is there a link to mike novies you tube or anything? Tried to find it but no luck.
Thank for the information! good looks! Also what are those white spots on some of them?
For a while this was like Dav Kaufman’s Botany Adventures.
Ooooooo…between you & Snake Discovery videos right now, it’s time to book a trip to Costa Rica!
Your diting skills are amazing. I could neither forward plan like that nor could I remember what i've said to who. Love it.
Thanks Liz! These videos are really difficult to make but that will never stop me from making them! Happy new year to you!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures and you my friend. sent you a patreon message.🤗 Rattleon
Happy new year .. wish you could do it( at least 1 reptile video) here in the Philippines. Rattle on idol!
I recently stumbled upon your channel and i really like the content. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Glad to hear that!

I sure will be

Usually best to leave a hygrometer to stabilise for more accurate reading of relative humidity, maybe ten minutes. Note how it was dropping in the video.
re watching this video. just curious do the locals protect the red eyes and their watering holes?
I actually bought a couple of retf’s from mike at an expo and they’re doing great. I wish I hadn’t lost his business card
I cant believe I missed this!
I love heliconias!
Super Rad 🐸 📹
Wonderful video. Thank you. I love the Nicaraguan morph. I am not into the new created morphs.
Have you been to Timarindo yet? I have a friend who lives in that part of costa Rica and a huge iguana lives in her back yard!

I think I'd prefer the orang/browns more than the blues as well.
This was awesome. Can you do false chameleons if possible.
Do you happen to have one like this for Royal Pythons
