    A very cool wee frog. Quite fast on his/her feet. Thanks for that.

    Ray let me loose in his frog room again tonight. Here are the Melanophyrniscus stelzneri photos I came away with:





    Flash or Defense colouration - note how it's located at the two ends of the body. Do these toads exhibit the unken reflex?

    Do they walk on their toepads? I doubt if that is the correct word for that but it just looks from the first video he was tiptoeing...And how did you get a pic of that one upside down like that, John? I assume the frog was still alive when you took it!

    They don't have toe pads, so it would be just fingers and toes. I seriously doubt that Ray let John kill his toad so he could get a picture of it.

    They're walking in some of the photos. Ray turned the frog over, let it settle and I took the photo.

    Of course I didnt think John killed it! I figured it was just some sort of "frog whispering" on his part!
