    Red face I couldn't resist...

    Strolling through Petsmart early yesterday getting some crickets, (local shop I usually go to opens late and I work afternoons). Anyway I take a little stroll past the reptile section and I see "Baby Australian White's tree frog". I took a little peek in there and they all looked so adorable. I couldn't help it, I purchased one. I requested the biggest plumpest booger in there and brought it home last night. I want to give this species another shot after the bad luck I had with my last one. I'm trying to let it adjust to its new home so I'm keeping interaction to a minimum (water changing, feeding, misting). It did some exploring last night from what I saw from small peeks every few hours. This morning I turned the lights on and it was sitting on the edge of the water dish and after a bit slowly crept into an opening in the log decoration I have in there lol. Been hiding in there and hasn't slept yet, probably still a bit freaked out. Here's a quick shot I took with my phone before coming to work.

    Thanks everyone. I need to think of a name now. This might sound kind of cheesy but I saw a shooting star on my way home with my new pal last night lol. Names could be open to all kinds of stuff having to do with Astronomy, I think.

    Good for you, and I'm sure he/she will be much happier with you than in the hands of some child who would most likely handle it to death.................oops sorry for the little rant.

    I saw some at our PetSmart too and was so tempted! Too cute! Glad to hear he's settling in.

    Sent from my Android using the Tapatalk Forum App! It's awesome!

    Yeah my little booger butt I'm surprised s/he got that bright, haven't done much night viewing, don't want to cause too much stress.

    Haha aw. He/she might have been so dark to start off with cause of the stress of moving, and now he/she has settled in a bit. How big is he/she round about?

    Two more




    look at the difference between that last picture and when I first brought him/her home in this picture. I'm impressed.

    Quick shot before work. I haven't seen him/her perched up on the log decoration until today. I just sat there for like 10-15 mins watching lol Then decided this was a perfect opportunity to fire up the Nikon.
