The gang

[kueluck]

These guys are just so crazy cute I can hardly take my eyes off of then when I get home from work. They seem to enjoy their new magnet ledge I picked up at the show this past weekend.




Two new additions from the Repticon in Columbia SC this past weekend.

They look so great!! And happy. Love the one mugging for the camera. Welcome, new additions. Is that a waxworm? I've never used them, but they look like the big fat grubs I found in my awful backyard. Are they the same kind of tree frog as the 3 amigos?

Yes, I use wax worms as a treat or to fatten up the skinny ones. I wouldn't feed yard grubs, their pincher heads are so big. And the new additions are American Green Tree Frogs. They all love the wax worms.

Banjo ate a giant one when she was new. Biggest one I'd ever seen. So fat, it's head didn't look that ferocious, compared to the rest of it. The other I saved but started ordering bugs so I got rid of him. I don't remember HOW I got rid of him... Would be kind of silly of me to put it back outside but I may have. Oh well.
Anyway, can they live with the other 3 eventually? Or is this an indefinite separate housing situation? I'm just curious. I'm going to guess that it will be, since they're from different parts of the world, but maybe not. In either case, buying from a breeder hopefully means you got yourself some healthy ones this time!! You deserve it.

If you have "leftover" waxworms you can let them turn into moths. The toads love them also. Also my frogs are kept in different vivs, I don't mix species.

I do love me some toads!! I'm happy to see them above ground and hangin' out more. I don't think the 4 small ones made it & I'm not digging to find out either. Guess Rufus and Morph have the 40 gallon to themselves. That is unless I can rescue some from the reptile shows that people sell as feeders *shudders at the thought*.

Yippee! (for them. and for us making it to Spring.) This pic and others like it are the reasons I wanted to get Banjo a friend or roommate. If you go by people's photos, they always seem to be hanging out together. Is this really the case, or do people just like getting pics of when they happen to be together? Cuz that guy emailed me again today about taking his toad.
Sorry about the small ones... Your awesome outdoor-like set-up should take care of it, I'd guess. I wish they'd surface, but on a weird note, eventually there'll be skeletons, which when you get over the sad, is fascinating. I used to love Beatrix Potter as a little girl, not just for the stories and drawings, but because she boiled remains to get a better understanding of how they were built. No, I've never done that or dug up a pet grave (there's a roadkill mouse I took home to bury under the shrub outside that should be skeletal by now, but because I buried it, I'll never disturb the site), but I have looked up and inspected x-rays of cats and frogs.
Anyway, what eats toads? I mean, what pet would anyone feed a toad to? I was under the impression that they'd make most animals sick, eaten whole. My guess is snakes. Crazy snakes.
