    He is neat looking! Have you had one of these before?

    Nope. Never even seen one before. This guy/gal was at the local pet store i buy crickets in. He's been there 6 months. I look in that tank every time i go in there and never spotted him once. They were fishing him out today because they obviously couldn't sell him and one of the employees joked about feeding him to one of the snakes. I said whoa! Pack him up, he's coming home with me. The girl told me they couldn't even return him to the supplier, they had him too long. I felt bad for the little guy.

    Do you have a care sheet for him yet? I can help you find one if you like. Is he still on the wood chips? It looks uncomfortable.

    There's not much out there on them, but i read most of what i found on a quick search. I had a 20L paludarium almost completed, so i started throwing it together for it. I needed to do some touch up work on it, but oh well. The critter needs the home more than i need it to look as nice as it could. I took him out of the wood chips right away. He's in a sweater box with coco fiber. Even ate a small cricket, which pleases me.

    It sounds like he has found a good home! I am glad he ate for you I read on Pollywogs world of frogs that they burrow? I have no idea if that is true but if he does will you let me know? I am curious. They seem very interesting!
