argus reed frog's.....Pregnant?

[stunrb]

I bought 4 argus reed frog's from the show on the 17th, 3 females and 1 male. I was actually told at the show that they were clown tree frogs but I did some research and I'm pretty sure they are Argus reed frogs. Anyways, My male frog was calling for a couple days and now he stopped. Does anyone know how they breed or have any experience......I see white spots inside one of the females bellies when she's on the glass, is it possible for them to be eggs?....any help would be appreciated.
I would also like tips on keeping them and breeding them, i only feed them pinheads and i dust them about twice a week, is this adequate?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi I noticed that no one answered to your post and I figured that because I have experience with Hyperolius species that I would try to help. Over the years I have kept hundreds of species of amphibians and most of which I bred but I didn't personally breed any of my Hyperolius ( Reed Frogs ). This was mostly because I had too many other more important breeding projects going on at the time. Anyways I found that if they were kept in a relatively tall, humid, and slightly warm enclosure this species is no trouble. I kept all mine at around 76 F during the day and had about a 10 degree drop at night. The humidity was about 70 percent during the day going up to close to 100 percent at night. I fed my guys wingless fruit flies and crickets every second day. I found that males would croak quite a bit if I misted the tank down heavily just after I turned out the lights. I found that with many of the Hyla species with similar requirements needs a cooling period followed by heavy rain to induce breeding, so maybe trying the same methods would help. You might need a rain chamber to help entice the frogs to breed. If you see the eggs inside of the female than she probably is already cycle. Now you need to provide heavy rain periods and a body of moving water to get things going. Anyways if you want a good site on ampohibians go to www.livingunderworld.org, this site is amazing and it may help you with some of your questions. Good luck man.
