Had to save him...

[Heatheranne]

Thanks!

[Heatheranne]

So guys, what do you think for a name.... I was debating.

Tank or Pudgy?

Since he's a little toughie and is an eating machine I thought tank was a good one. But he's also a little round cutie.

I like puffy better. i

[BG]

I'm sorry . I ment to say pudgy.

[Heatheranne]

Lol! Let's see what the overall consensus is

[Heatheranne]

Well, sorry George, I just had to name he Tank. He's a toughie. Solid little fella. And an eating machine. Nothing about him is delicate, lol! He's so cool! Tried to attack the water when I filled his little watering hole, lol!!! He cracks me up! Hope I never get a chomp, lol!!!!

[Heatheranne]

Pudgy just doesn't fit his personality, ha ha! Maybe my next baby can be a Pudgy .

[BG]

He looks like a little tank. I like his yellow stripes.

[Heatheranne]

Thanks! He's a cute little stinker, lol!

[BG]

Heather take alot of pics cause they grow overnight,literally.lol

[Heatheranne]

I'll try but I dont want to irritate him. As of right now he doesnt seem to mind me at all, esp at feeding time .

[GrifTheGreat]

Tank is an asesome name for this beautiful rescue. I rescently recued a baby Green C. Cranwelli. I love the color scheme on this guy. Congrats on the awesome find. I can't stant them being kept in such poor conditions and the stores don't do anything about it. Mostly because they know nothing about the keeping of these creatures. I'm glad you saved him.

[IvoryReptiles]

Nice Frog!!

next time you do handle him/her take a look at it's front feet and the outer side of the "thumbs"

This is what it should look like if it is a male. Notice the Nuptual Pads.....dark spots on an Albino & a Green.



These are the "Thumbs" on a Green & Albino female.


Tank looks to be large enough that if it is a male, he should already be showing signs. When we started with the cranwelli, we found out we had a male one rainy night when he started calling...........at 3 in the morning in our bedroom. LOL

[Heatheranne]

Thanks guys!

Ah, I'll check out his feet tonight at feeding time. He hasn't tried to chomp me yet, ha ha! So I'll try to sneak a peek. He doesn't seem to be fearful at all. He does not even jump away from me. I'm fairly sure it's because of his poor previous living conditions. Otherwise he would likely have died by now. He was not given any shelter or privacy.

I thought I heard a noise two nights ago but it didn't sound like a croak, more like a squawk kind of sound. Then I didn't hear it again so I thought maybe it was something else. It has been raining here the last three days, however. I will open my bedroom window tonight and see if I get a response.

It is odd though my RETF's have been awake for more hours than usual, although nothing in their environments have changed. Perhaps a coincidence though.

He's definitely a cool pac. I am lucky to have found him .

Hey! Question...he shifts burrowing spots daily and I am presuming he leaves me little "presents" in each hole? So I have been scooping each little spot when he moves to his next spot and then just spreading the clean substrate again. Is that appropriate?

[IvoryReptiles]

That's fine Heather. We change out the substrate once a month or more because the ammonia from the urine can build up and become toxic. You can usually tell by the smell........clean coco fiber smells earthy, when it's going bad it smells it!!
The squawking sound could very well have been him vocalizing.

Did it sound anything like this??

Lol! I love it. I've never heard of a Pac attacking pouring water. That's awesome.

[Heatheranne]

It was funny! It startled me! Ha ha! Little guy's probably delirious from that crazy pet shop! :/ I'll see if he does it again tonight. He was still soaking last night when I went to bed so I didn't bother him.

Sounds like he is doing very well. He'll be doing much better now that you saved him from that terrible store. Their personalities are awesome.

[BG]

Like i said,your frogs have a good destiny.

[Heatheranne]

He definitely is a feisty little guy. It's pretty cool. My RETF's are so mellow. Quite the difference.
