    Oh no, where to start ?? Hmmm well thanks for picking me as MOTM this month, I'm very grateful.

    Lets start with some misc. facts


    1. I used to HATE frogs. I thought they were weird and gross. Go figure lol.

    2. The first time I saw a frog was when I was 4, 11 years ago. It was a pickerel frog and I named it "Froggie" (ik orginal right?). A few years later my dog came in with a frog in his mouth and I was devastated to learn of Froggie's death (even though it probably wasn't the original).

    3. My favorite color: purple.

    4. My favorite subject is zoology but my best subject is history. There have been times where I simply could not pass up the oppurtunity to correct my history teacher (she wasnt impressed but she was proven wrong).

    5. A favorite pastime of mine - cartography. For some weird reason I like to draw maps of the world and different countries. Second only to reading about frogs.

    6. I have tried on many occasions to grow a tree from a seed. Each time the baby tree got run over by a lawn mower .

    Boring facts I know lol

    I'll try to keep up with the precedent Lisa set last month too :P

    When i was 11, my parents got me 2 African Dwarf Frogs. They died quickly though since I had no idea how to properly care for them . But from that moment on I started liking frogs.

    And have you considered owning other herps, such as lizards and salamanders?

    I've actually had a chinese water dragon and newts (all of which died). Up until a couple years ago I had no idea how to take care of anything really :/.

    Awe, don't feel too bad, my most successful pet around that age was a box turtle I saved from the road on a rainy day and kept at 9, I fed him beetles, earthworms, and bugs. Only to discover about 9 years later he would've been soooo much happier with a tomato and lettuce. But now my brother has one he rescued and I passed on a wealth of knowledge on what to feed him, and that it's plenty okay to take him out his cage and let him soak while you clean out all the turtle poop. (: I'll probably purchase him a book in eastern box turtles to send him for his birthday, he's an avid reader.

    *Coff* I know it's tempting, guys, but think we're really supposed to wait until week 4 to ask questions

    Lol, I'm rooting for you to get to 158 replies, Eli! Here I was thinking I wasn't doing a good enough job, only to make more posts than anyone probably in MOTM history...! You'd think I was a spammer in a former life, lol! (Not that I believe in former lives, but hey)

    Lol whoops /).(\ I had to inquire. I don't hear of many who hated or feared froggies changing their mind. xD I've got an aunt who screamed when I brought out a little 9 inch western hognose snake.

    Ha! Don't feel bad. I can't do them either. Spiders are like my one no no bug. Well and maybe centipedes. But I really do want to overcome my fear of spiders and maybe own a tarantula.

    The only animal I truly fear is the wasp/hornet. The way their legs hang in the air creeps me out.

    xD Oh gosh do not even get me started on those evil creatures. So I'm cleaning out the back room at my mother in laws house, and straightening out her bookcase I found like three and had to kill them, they were going for my shorts. Later on the night just relaxing scrolling through facebook a felt something like a hard painful pinch and assumed it was one of those corn bugs. Only to look and see this big a** silverfish on my shoulder heading towards my spaghetti strap. Out of fear for my boobs I flicked it off and grabbed my shoe to squish it into the bed. Me and silverfish are no longer on peaceful living terms. I see one I squish one. I'm cool with a bug until it crawls on me or bites me. xD I had very very angry post in facebook about his particular silverfish. If been trying to get a picture of one for tea s cause my brothers thought they d be cool thanks to Minecraft. Lol, mission get a picture over.
