My frog's X-Ray! (don't keep frogs with gravel)
I thought this x-ray might be interesting for fellow Budgetts fans out there. My Budgett's frog's name is Minion. I foolishly had him living in a tank that contained large pieces of gravel. He didn't even seem to notice it for over 6 months. Then one day I came home and picked him up- he sounded like a bag of marbles. I brought him to the vet who treats my other frogs. She did an x-ray (show below if I set it up correctly.) Turns out he ate NINETEEN rocks! She was able to remove 18 of them. The last stone was already in his intestine so she couldn't reach it. Thankfully it was a small rock so he was able to eventually poop it out. So how his tank is totally rock-free! Poor little guy. The first picture, obviously, is the x-ray. The second is the frog after the procedure with the bowl of rocks next to him.
