tecrecycling Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 If my other half found out I was keeping those and any escaped.... The jig would be up and I would be forced to abandon my hobby. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johningeorgia Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Not trying to keep Germans. They are all over my parents house and nothing seems to kill them out. They need some tokay geckos but that is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tecrecycling Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The most adventurous I get with my cultures are my Surinam's which 3 weeks ago I dropped one into my 150 gallon frog terrarium and it quickly disappeared under the substrate. I'm still irritated about that because I know eventually when it starts reproducing I'm going to have to scrap my setup and start again.

Pull all the frogs for a few hours and use dry ice (CO2) to nuke the tank. The plants are fine with it but everything else alive suffocates. No need to start to from scratch. Just put a big fan on the tank after about an hour to get fresh air back in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfox Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Seeing that I'm an exterminator this puts me in a perplexing situation. I kill Germans all day long but they are incredibly fascinating to me. The dark morphs are pretty cool, not gonna lie, I may want some of those some day. Lol. Seriously though, don't wish for a infestation of these guys... Because well.... They will happily oblige you. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If they bred with normal Germans will offspring be all black, all brown, or 50/50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Once my colony becomes big, I'll start selling some so you might be able to get them one day TBH I want these guys to infest my house so I can get tons of black germans. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
