Karen Warkentin, wearing tall olive-green rubber boots, stands on the
bank of a concrete-lined pond at the edge of the Panamanian rainforest.
She pulls on a broad green leaf still attached to a branch and points
out a shiny clutch of jellylike eggs. “These guys are hatchable,” she
says.
Red-eyed tree frogs, Agalychnis callidryas, lay their eggs
on foliage at the edge of ponds; when the tadpoles hatch, they fall into
the water. Normally, an egg hatches six to seven days after it is laid.
The ones that Warkentin is pointing to, judging from their size and
shape, are about five days old, she says. Tiny bodies show through the
clear gel-filled membrane. Under a microscope, the red hearts would just
be visible. READ MORE

Behind these doors...
Three weeks into our move to our new home near the Market Common in Myrtle Beach SC, we've got on top of the moving boxes and almost have everything put away somewhere. The building is great for us, for it has really allows us to streamline the production of our EcoAquariums.

New Look for same great Company
"We're still the Wild Creations company who's made a big splash..." says Company Co-founder Rhett Power, "we just wanted a new look, so we went to our customers for advice."
True. Powers & company enlisted help from their growing social-networking customer base to help pick their new logo. "We posted several designs on facebook & twitter, asking our customers to vote their favorite... said Powers, "after hundreds of votes, it boiled down to the best looking logo around!"
This week marks the "official" roll-out of the new "Splash" design logo, as Powers & fellow company co-founder, Peter Gasca, hold court in of all places, at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas, (BOOTH REG-50).
"We do well thinking outside the box," says Peter Gasca, explaining their presence at the largest hardware & home goods show in the nation, "we've had success presenting our EcoAquariums to the toy market, instead of the traditional pet market, so why not see if we can gain attention in other markets as well."
