Oh wow! What was the temperature they grew under if you don't mind me asking. Ecuador is my favorite cubensis I've grown them... God, I can't count. I have never seen them grow like that. They are typically more "stout" when compared to others like PESH or PR from what I have seen... But never had any looking like that!
I ask the temperature because I seen to notice Wispier mushrooms the warmer the temp in my GH. And more stockier and thicker mushrooms when the temperatures a cooler.

Yeah, these have had their share of cool temps. Temperature has been around 71 during the day and dips to 64 at night.....Sometimes it is a little more or a little less...I know its not optimal but I haven't made any adjustments yet. They take a little longer but its cool. That fat short mushroom is the only one of that nature......I had one cake with more normal looking mushrooms. Most others look like the 2nd pic. When I first started I did alot of reading, read alot of success stories for first timers and failures....So I started off with alot of cakes expecting to have a nice sized failure rate.....Wasn't expecting a 98% success rate....Had to build a couple more SGFC's

Yeah it may not be what they call "optimal" but IMO it is optimal to me. I love the thicker fruits They seem to me to be more potent as well... I remember RR saying something about lower temps and potency... Cant find that thread tho... I wont go back to the optimal temps. I keep mine at 68-71F and they do great. I don't mind the slower times. I am not giving you advise lol... But I would keep it how you got it!
Intereting looking EQ... lol my favorite strain looking crazy... I love it!

my ideal fruiting temps are around 65 degree's, love the denser thicker fruits, not to mention more potent i'll never grow at higher temps and get those lanky hollow stems...

Yeah I would like to drop to 65F but my GH is in the same room as my Poison Dart Frogs. So I have to keep the temps around the high 60's low 70's...

On a side note I have fruited mushrooms in there terrarium. It was very cool watching mushrooms grow inside there tank!
I burried it in there soil (ABG mix... Atlanta Botanical Garden mix... Sawdust, orchid bark, Charcoal, and coco coir.) They grew out like wild mushrooms it was very neat.

Yeah, I was a bit worried at first because I read that the optimal temp for cubes is at around 74...But I'm not complaining with these fruit bodies...They are a bit hollow towards the cap. I wasn't expecting them to be SOLID at the "trunk" like this though. Now that I look I have a bunch of mushrooms opening early on cakes that don't have biggies....Moisture is good. I give it a good amount of FAE and mist....Have some verm on the top for moisture...Need to troubleshoot to find out what the deal is...

Pets and breeding...
You can sell 1 Dendrobates leucomelas for $25.00 - $30.00 as a juvenile.
If they are sexed. (meaning the sex is determined... i.e. adults.) They go for $75.00 - $150.00
If you sell a sexed pair (one male one female) They go for $150.00 - $200.00
If your selling a proven pair (A pair thats breed before) your talking $250.00 - $350.00
And some rare specie or harder to breed specie like Lamasi or pumillio
They go for $150.00 per frog and tons tons more money if they are sexed and sexed pairs and proven pairs...
Lamasi:

Pumillio:

Sorry did not mean to jack your thread.

Well it was probally all the moss the frog is standing on. I am more than familiar with D. leucomelas they are yellow and black. there are specie variations like banded and fine spotted but they are all yellow and black. sorry if the picture made it look greenish...
... No you cannot lick them 
They are Poison Dart Frogs... so if you decide to lick one after given the name... that your problem... LOL (But they are not poisonous when raised in captivity. they derive there toxins from with bugs in the rainforrest.)

D. leucomelas: Fine spotted.
 D. leucomelas: Banded Brittish Guyana.
 D. leucomelas: "Standard"

Yeah there is good money in breeding frogs... And they are easier than keeping fish. And rearing tadpoles is just as easy as goldfish...
Gives something to use old petri dishes for...
A coconut hut. with a petri dish underneeth. makes for a good frog humping station.

Its cool, the thread jack is quite interesting. I was obsessed with frogs when I was younger. They were my creature of choice for finding and studying. I recently had a monster tree frog that would climb up my outside porch door and have a field day with the bugs attracted to the porch light.....Smart little bastard

Yeah tree frogs are cool too. I sold mine tho beause they were pretty but not as interesting to me as Dart Frogs.
Dart Frogs are Diurnal so they are awake during the day hopping about and feeding and calling...
the tree frogs I had were nocturnal so I never got to see them a whole lot.
I had red eye tree frogs.

Bio is right that one on the moss looks green, but they're amazing specimens. How does one get started in a hobby such as that?
-------------------- I challenge you to challenge yourself more! When you feel complacent and ready to hang it up, challenge yourself to get over it! If you fail, don't look at it as you didn't succeed, look at it as you would a rock face you're trying to climb. Stand back, wayyyy back, and look at it and plot another path. If you can't find one, shuffle down the way a little, a little change of scenery or a view from a different angle may give you the insight you need. Anything I state is relayed information from a friend of a friend and should be viewed as completely fictitious.

Just like one gets started in a hobby like this one actually...
If you live in the U.S. go here. Dendroboard.com
If you live in Canada go here. Dartfrogz.com
You can goto either site but it is best to goto the one in your country Why?... So when, or if you make a trade or buy a frog of someone on the board you dont have to deal with importation laws... (can cost alot of $$$ for filing and fee's ... upwards of $300 - $500 dollars)
Or goto a reptile show that is comming to your area... google reptile shows... and goto the bigger ones. Dart frog hobbiest usually have to tailgate alone with the reptile crowd. because amphibians and frogs for some reason tend to not be as popular.

Its relative to the size of operation your trying to do. And the types of frogs you want to breed. And how easy or hard it is to breed a particular specie of frog. And how many tadpoles you plan on rearing at a given time Also your going to need extra enclosures for the juveniles. And your going to have to grow more food and buy extra vitamins.
This is really not the correct forum to be discussing that question. You should go here http://www.dendroboard.com and do some research And ask all your questions there.
But to break it down really quick for you. It depends on if your in it for breeding or as a hobby. Or both.
As a hobby. I spent about $3,000.00 so far on my terrariums (I have 4 of them) And about $800.00 on frogs. (D. leucomelas, D. azureus D. pumilio and D. auratus)
D. leucomelas

D. azureus

D. pumilio "Blue Jeans" & "Strawberry" (thumbnail specie... They get no bigger than your thumbnail. very tiny...)


D. auratus

The food is not that expensive if you produce Fruitfly cultures yourself. (They are genetically breed not to fly so not much worry about them getting into your mushrooms and spreading contamination as long as you are careful during feeding time.)
The reason the terrariums cost so much to build (yes you will build the inside yourself) Is because they are not really terrariums, more like vivariums. And contain living plants. The plant can be quite expensive if you don't know someone. Bromeliads are a must for plants.
Here is a example terrarium.

Keep in mind all those are living plants.



I am special tho... LOL I will also bury a BRF Cake in my terrarium at times and grow mushrooms not only live plants in it as well. I would like to find a mushroom that can establish its self in there... and will fruit alot... that would be neat.
Keep in mind your also going to have to add beneficial insects into the terrarium as well to help decompose decaying plant matter and frog waste. Spring tails (Collembola)is the most common.

And Tropical Woodlice (Isopods) is also another common one (I really like wood lice because they are like the janitors... they eat everything and clean heavily)

They also help substitute the frogs diet. because they will eat them as well, not so much the woodlice, only when they are young and can digest the hard shells. but they will hunt for springtails all day long.
It is cool to watch these insects as well if you plan on growing a cake in there once in a while. Because the Isopods and Springtails eat fungus. So as they mushrooms grow they will be eating them and the mycelium as well... adding a food source for the insects. Also making so you don't have to clean up the mushrooms and cakes after growing them... the insects will do that for you.
If your serious about getting some frogs goto www.Dendroboard.com
My advise to you is learn how to keep them. They WILL DIE if you don't maintain 80% + humidity and temperatures of 68F-80F and they WILL DIE if you do not supplement there food with vitamins. And some specie like D. azureus are territorial and WILL KILL EACH OTHER if you house 2 females in the same terrarium. They can easily die from stress from another frog or even you trying to hold them. They are really just to be looked at like fish...
With that said tho they are really easy to care for and you do not have to clean the terrarium as long as the plants are living. and you have added beneficial insects They will clean it for you. the most you really have to do is clean the front glass once a month so you can see inside and enjoy your frogs.
Also I am dont talking about frogs. If your interested in owning some goto Dendroboard.com
Again OP sorry for the thread jack, I know you said you don't care but. I kind of do. I just felt compelled to answer some questions...
(P.S. If you plan on owning frogs, you better plan on buying a flowhood. all sorts of nasty molds and fungus will grow in your terrarium. Trich is one of them... I have a 10-40% contamination rate because I have these terrariums.... Keep this in mind. your sterile technique HAS TO BE SPOT ON. If you plan on keeping frogs and mushrooms.)

Sorry, But one more thing.
If you plan on doing this. The best frog to start with is Dendrobates Leucomelas. They are not territorial so you can keep them in groups. And they are easy to raise and keep (They are not that sensitive with temp/humidity) And they are VERY VERY Prolific breeders. If you want to learn how to breed And how to rear tadpoles. They will supply you with TONS of tadpoles.
OKAY! no more talking about frogs! LOL!

You better grow mushrooms in the terrarium!!!!!!!!!!
You will see mushrooms growing in ther every more and then
Get ABG Mix from Josh's Frog's
http://www.joshsfrogs.com/product/207/141/abg-mix-8-quart
And use grapewood. in the terrarium Because you will see mushrooms and mycelium growing out of them from time to time... I have seen all inds of mycelium and mushrooms growing from my terrariums... not any actives... just from what ever spores germinated in there...
They even have a thread on Dendroboard where you post pictures of your fungus and mushrooms growing in your terrariums...
Everything from slime molds to mushrooms... you should give it a look http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/members-frogs-vivariums/45537-share-your-fungi.html
here is a preveiw




Mycelium crawling up glass:

Frogs sitting on mushrooms:


These almost look like P. semilanceata

I would love to find a active that would establish itself in my terrariums...
For a couple reasons...
1. to give my frogs something to hop around on 2. to give my insects something to eat 3. fungus growing in your terrarium means you have a healthy eco-system

Ok that is the coolest thread I've ever seen in my entire life, and I've spent at least 10 entire years on the internet; lol. I sware my toad as a child gave me hand warts; but psychedelic mushrooms kill hand warts for me.
Sounds like I'll be getting me a little froggy with some mushrooms growing in it. Maybe I'll buy / trade one off you guys? Yah... I'll keep this thread bookmarked.
I'll give 5 stars to everyone who posted a frog later. Thanks guys and gals =).

Speaking of which, I have handeled hundreds upon hundreds of toads, got pissed on a hundred times too, never got a wart....

In captivity they are non-toxic.
They derive there toxins from bugs who eats certain plant alkaloids in the rainforest's. So there is no reason to worry about them being toxic.

How are they poisonous? By the touch? The slime? Why do they call them darts?

Tribes in the rainforest's who use these animals to hunt by rubbing there darts on there backs Namely used this specie: Phyllobates terribilis




Dendrobates leucomelas: Are not as highly toxic as Phyllobates terribilis. And were not used by indigenous tribes in South America for these darts.

They secrete there toxins from pores on there back. (they are not venomos they are toxic... wholw different subject BTW) And in turn into the mucous on there skin...
Its really cool when you fist look at them there skin dont really have a "wet" appearance... But as you observe them and they know your there looking at them or holding them you will see there back get slimy and start getting more mucous (slime) on there backs... That is them doing what there do naturally. That is how they kill animals who attack them... But typically there bright color is well enough warning to any animals in the rainforest's to stay away.

Phyllobates terribilis has enough toxin on its skin to kill between ten to twenty men or about ten thousand mice
They are more poisonous than rattle snakes.

They found alkaloids on the back of Epipedobates tricolor:

That has medicinal usage
Its a painkiller 200-times as potent as morphine, called epibatidine Problem is that is causes gastrointestinal issues so it is not suitable to use until they can find a way get rid of that side effect.

I took those pictures off dendroboard.com
I am not going to post pictures of my frogs or my terrariums here on the shroomery Because of Identification purposes You could match my terrarium up with pictures I have posted On dendroboard. or use identification techniques to determine that these frog match these frogs and Figure out who I am on Dendroboard.
All pictures I posted here I took off the internet or dendroboard and I am not claiming any of them to be mine.
But to give you a idea of what kind of terrariums they are growing out from. Here are some pictures.



This would be a typical breeders terrarium.:
 You would make them from 10 gallon fish tanks, silicone and glass cut from the local hardware store.
Here is a build of a typical Exo-terra Terrarium you can get from any petstore that carries reptiles.

Use GreatStuff (A foam insulation that is sticky comes in a aresol can and dries into a solid foam) Wood to stick to the back to give the terrarium depth use coco coir and silicone. spread the silicone all over the back. and stick coco coir to it.


What your basically doing is recreating a tiny piece of the rainforest into a terrarium. And then putting frogs in it.
Live plants are pretty must 100% necessary because there resparation will give off humidity allowing the frogs to live.
And the poop the frogs secrete will keep the plants alive...
All you add is, Light, Water, and Bugs for the frogs to eat.

Like some lizards ro other stuff?
You said a BIG one?
This guys turned an entire room into a terrarium... The room looks 8' x 12' with a 12' ceiling... I hope you meant this BIG that would be awesome!!!...
http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/parts-construction/46988-terrarium-room-build-pic-heavy.html
The problem with keeping other animals in with dart frogs is the climate. Dart frogs require 80% - 100% humidity. With Ideal conditions being 95% + humidity. And not many other animals can live in that environment and be healthy...
There have been people to do so but you need a BIG Terrarium
The Rain Forrest have dozens of micro climates. And Dart frogs live in the micro climate on the Forrest floor.
Lizards and reptiles typically live higher up in the Rain Forrest in a different micro climate.
And to produce these different micro climates in a terrarium is almost pretty much impossible.
BUT!!!...
The best way to create the micro climates would be to make a tall terrarium
And when I say tall I mean tall... larger than 4 foot tall. where you can make the bottom half have little to no air flow with nearly 100% if not 100% humidity where you then have plant foliage creating some what of a canopy over the bottom half. protecting it from the top half where you would then have you heat and basking lamps for lizards and good air flow and humidity in the ranges of 60% - 75%.
But if you scaled it down to a 4' tall terrarium you could probably keep dart frogs and anoles on the same enclosure, But not a chameleon because they are very picky when it comes to environment.

Well I have only just mastered Cubesis. I am trying my hand at ATL#7 now. and I just finnished my flow hood. I got my GH dialed in so it think I can start growing Pan cambo or cyans...
But trust me that is my ultimate goal. Growing actives im my terrariums. Mushrooms in the terrariums look awesome. And they keep the environment healthy.
So I am on a mission to make this happen.
I just need to get to the point where I can cultivate some of the more exotic species and and keep introducing Them into the terrarium and hope one of them takes ahold.
I should try talking to some people here are absolute mushroom guru's... I am sure they may have a better idea what may or may not work.
I would just probably have to give them the details of the environmental conditions And the substrate I use inside the terrarium. 
But if all else fails and i cannot get a active going inside of my terrarium I am going to print a mushroom I see growing in the terrarium and try to grow it out on agar and the introduce ALOT of the mycelium all over the terrarium and Let it take hold.... hopefully.
If i go that route I will just have to wait until I see a cool one growing out... something like this one.
 Because it is big enough for the frogs to hop around on the caps and stuff...

Ahh, cool thanks for the reply... I also like turtles and tortoises. I had a Sulcata tortoise. Unfortunately I had built an outdoor terrarium for the summer which my dog broke through the fence, and you know the rest of the story. I had him during my college years and was devistated when that happened. Almost shot my dog, but he didn't know any better. He is a coyote hybrid so I got over it, instinct is all.... But obviously a different climate the sulcata and tropical frogs. Desert vs. tropical. I asked that previous question because I wanted a terrarium of some sort with frogs and turtles/tortoises in it at the same time.....If I ever did it I would want a HUGE terrarium like that link you sent me. Since I've gotten older I am not a big fan of keeping animals caged in a small environment, I need to go all out....I actually built a pond in my backyard so I can rescue turtles that I find in the road after people build developments, destroyng acres of land.....Also for stocking some fish and provide a habitat for the local frogs....Although I my have to go to war with the god damn coons.....Maybe I should get a coon dog.,...

Yeah I think I have bugged stonesun enough lately 
But I am and not good enough with growing mushrooms to attempt this yet. My frog terrarium is better at growing mushrooms than I am right now. It has grow dozens of different species, I on the other hand have only grown cubensis.
I am going to wait a little while until I feel I am proficient enough until I start Bugging people about different species and my frog tank ect... ect...
But the good news is. If I grow actives out of my terrarium by introduction from agar (Not my half ass attempts with burring a cake like I have in the past lol) I will be posting the pictures here on the shroomery LOL!!! I don't think dendroboard would be happy with me posting pictures on there website of cultivating active mushroom specie's inside a frog terrarium...
On the other hand I am sure if I did that I bet it would turn alot of frog enthusiasts into mushroom enthusiasts and give the shroomery a good handful of new dedicated members...

I've got me a coonhound...be sure you can keep up with them. They're not a ton of energy but get super annoying if you keep them from what they want (whining, bawling, destruction). He's the best dog I've owned. If ya stick them on coons tho be sure they don't follow them into the water, coons will drown a dog.

I know, I have some good friends that have raised coonhounds for many years. Unfortunately the dog I have now is a smart bastard but I didn't raise him.. He leaves my chickens and guineas alone and actually hangs out with them, but he had to eat my tortoise.....But I have alot of property. My dogs don't have a leashes because they frequently run through the woods and I don't want them to snag it on a tree or something and get hurt. They listen and can leave them outside all day if I wanted.....
How hard can it be growing cubes in your terrarium? Not that I'm saying I can do it, Ive never had a tropical frog terrarium....but you have like 95% humidity, you can use a 6500K light, you can mist...The only problem might be FAE....But even if you didn't have that you can still just have some long lanky mushrooms you can eat right?

I have grown cubes in my terrarium... I just buried the cake in the substrate.
The problem is that they wont take hold... Meaning they wont keep growing. once the cake is spent the mycelium wont keep going and spreading.
They were not as whispy as you may think. I have a Mistking and my terrarium get alot of FAE But thats why I have a automatic misting system (i.e. Mistking)
(I am surprised people here have not purchased a Mistking to automate there GH)
http://www.mistking.com/
I am looking for a mushroom that will not just fruit. But will survive or thrive and take hold in my terrarium and keep coming back without me having to keep "planting" it there...
Tell you the truth tho, the cubensis may have survived in there, maybe they just have not fruited again...
Either way cubensis are a dung loving specie and my frogs don't eat plant matter they eat fruit flies. so to be honest I am sure the mycelium is dead by now...

Really tho...
A mistking in a GH for mushrooms would solve people's problems with
Misting there mushrooms All the issues with coolmist humidifiers. all you have to do is add a fan for FAE and all have to do is dial in the timer to go off ever so often to maintain 90% + humidity.
the timer that comes with the system is a seconds timer.
meaning you can have it go ON at 12:00.00 and go OFF at 12:00.01
or ON at 12:00 and OFF at 12:01
It is literally adjustable for any time duration you wish. from 1 second to 24 hours.
you can even set up for days... meaning it goes off every sunday and only on sunday at 12:00 and off at 12:01...
or you can set up for every day BUT sunday or only on mondays wednesdays and fridays... ect... ect... how ever you like it.
really nice timer for a misting system.

We know mushrooms like cocofiber (coco coir) And I did see some mycelium running threw that When I planted it there. but there is alot of bad shit in a frog terrarium... I am sure the cubensis mycelium is dead...

Alot of bad shit?.....Is there crazy stuff growing in there? Ever have any mold problems or anything? Just curious because my brain is in overdrive right now with your setup......Is there any FAE in the frog terrarium?....Unfortunately don't have the money right now to invest in a tropical setup, or to buy some frogs....

Ohhh yeah there is crazy stuff growing in there all the time.
It is like a fungus battle field... one specie always trying to over take another...
I said earlier that if you plan on owning dart frogs and grow mushrooms you better have a flowhood. because I have seen trich growing in there cobweb mold all kind of slime molds you name the color of mold or fungus and i have see it in there at one time or another...
So if you got dart frogs your house is going to have contaminates typical mushroom growers wouldn't conceive of having... not to mention some of the seed pods and nut pods I have in there that came from http://www.blackjungleterrariumsupply.com/ they got from Brazil and south america I am sure they had spores from the amazon on them... all of which produce spores and if there in your terrarium there in your house.
So yeah if you plan on having dart frogs plan on having a flowhood. I am just now building my flowhood and it should be complete by next week and I have gotten away with using a glove box... but at a price tho. I have a 10 - 40% contamination rate with and rye or BRF Cake i do... so if I make 10 jars, I almost expect 2 or 3 of them to be contaminated.
That should change when I get my flowhood up and running (I hope if not i just wasted $300.00 dollars.)

Thanks for that info...
I have not been serious about trying to grow actives in the terrarium tho. I am trying to get really good at this mycology thing before I attempt that so I am not just wasting my time.
But I am going to save thoes names of mushrooms to a note pad they will probally be the first ones I try providing I can obtain a print.
THANKS!!!

Yeah I hear that....I've gotten lazy lately with my still air box....I just do it in open air now with my grains and BRF (not recommended obviously). Still have a 98% success rate with my jars (only contams came from a jar I inoculated using my still air box lol)....I inject through alcohol sponges, paper towels... etc etc..I pretend like i'm a god damn doctor doing surgery.....
No offense but you might have something wrong with your techniques.....I have black mold all over the god damn place in my house....Dust...carpet where I inoculate...All the no no's and still have a great success rate (not saying 98% is great but I'm fine with it)....you have a 20%+ failure with your colonizing jars or your bulk grows and terrariums?.......
I don't know, nice chatting with you brother, talk to you tomorrow....Im sure this great fucking thread still might be going...If RR doesn't move it to another website LOL
I also might be buiding a flow hood soon.....

Honestly I am surprised it made it this far... LOL  The only think that might keep it a float might be the mushroom pictures growing in the terrariums... its a form of Mushroom cultivation right ? LOL!

it's an awesome thread. Very interesting. I really hope it stays alive. It gave me the interest in frogs. Now I might as well think of getting a terrarium and buy some exotic frogs.

And grow mushrooms in the terrarium!!! If you set it up right they will grow naturally like the pictures in this thread. they were all from dart frog terrariums. I am personally on a mission to grow some actives in there by just introducing mycelium but thats mt venture of combining my 2 hobbies lol...
it probably wont work tho....

I wouldn't mind colonizing some jars and simply adding them to my frog terrarium....

I will try that when I get more info on the sub. and maybe a recommendation on what mushroom to use from a really mycology savvy person here...
I WILL POST PICS!!!!
Edit: I don't want to just start tossing random mycelium in there at first, I would like to have some recommendations from a local mushroom guru here first. Unless nothing else works. then I would probably start tossing in random mycelium. Before I start this tho I want to beef up my mushroom knowledge...

I'd think gyms would do well. Maybe get some plug spawn and put some logs in the terrarium. Maybe even ps cyans on alder chips underneath the ground layer. That mix could be like a casing. That'd be amazing!!

What is the temp in your frog terrarium?

I was thinking this as well...

Wont work. Ps. Cyans or anything like it will not survive in the terrarium and will not fruit either. The temperature is a constant 75-80F year around.
Pacific north west species or any species for that matter that is anything less than a tropical mycelium or fungus wont make it in there. The terrarium simulates the rain forests of South America's environment That is the only way the frogs can live.
I am searching for a something tropical and non dung loving. biologys posted some good specie's earlier I would like to try later on when I Finnish my flow hood (I about a week or so) and when I get Agar down to a "T"
Besides that it comes down to getting my hand on enough spores to start a plate...
This is by NO MEANS my TOP PRIORITY on things to do in my mushroom and dart frog hobbies right now. But I suppose I should start getting more serious about it. Ever scene I started keeping dart frogs (7 years now) I wanted to grow fungus in there. I remember picking mushrooms out from the lawn and putting the cap in my terrariums. I always though it was cool when I seen a slime mold or a shelf fungus or a mushroom pop up out of my terrarium. (That is probably why I like this mushroom hobby so mush as well...) and start growing... But ever sence I started growing mushrooms on the side. I always wanted to devise a way to try and introduce a active mushroom into my terrarium... And maybe even a mushroom that has large enough fruits for my frogs to hop on and around... (some Dart frogs weight as mush as a paper clip BTW) I have had them do that with some of the random mushrooms I have seen grow out of my terrarium. But I think it would be neat to kind of control the amount of mycelium in there to make it maybe a little more consistent. I usually only see a mushroom pop up out of my terrarium now about every 3 months to a year. that would be cool if I could get them to do that more often than that. maybe every 2 or 3 months would be sweet...
(I type to much... IDK why either no one reads shit that long^^^)
