hey Bill we are not done asking questions great to know more about you.

how did you get your first frog and why? how did you end up here, on FF?

[deranged chipmunk]

oh, i always liked frogs, but never had the opportunity to keep them, that all changed last may, when i got my first trio of White's. then off we went!!LOL i ended up on frog forum long before i signed up for an account. like most people, i was researching. then i figured maybe i could return the favor. and my time here at ff "officially" began...LOL

It's Tuesday - time to tell us about your amphibians.

How you came to keep them, mistakes/learning curves, species kept, breedings, how you found Frog Forum etc....we heard enough about you on Monday, let us hear about them frogs!

I kind of covered this last night. Like most people here, i was researching frogs before i kept them. So i lurked around the hallowed halls of FF for quite a while before i got my first trio of white's tree frogs. The were The Prophet, Technoboy, and Headhunterz. All named after three of my favorite techno DJ's. After i got them, i signed up for an account and the rest is history. When i finally decided to pull the trigger on building the 125, i added 3 more of them, MacKenzie (always liked the name), Hubby (he was ALWAYS trying to escape), and Frog (i ran out of names).

Next came my 2 RETF's, Jake and Elwood. Both were w.c. "rescues" from Petco. Jake passed after a little over a month, and i eventually rehomed Elwood, along with Fidel, the cuban tree frog i got from my plant ladies

Then came along my painted mantellas, Mantella Baroni. They are Marty, Melman, Persephone, and Leto. And i just added eight Mantella Betsileo. They will be inhabiting my 125 when i complete it.

Learning curves, HAHAHA, too many to mention. Mostly with construction techniques. I learned alot from others on this forum and sooonunique in it's application. developed a few of my own. Take my rain system, for example. I know it was nothing new and innovated, but the way i designed it is, at least i believe, unique in it's application.

ya know, it just dawned on me, i guess no mini bio of me would be complete without explaining the deranged chipmunk name. it's my playstation gamer tag. my psn name is a little different spelling, but close enough. i got it from the movie, Disaster Movie. if anyone remembers, Alvin, Simon and Theodore made an appearance, and then went insane. i thought they looked deranged and evil, and the deranged chipmunk was born i like evil stuff. sometimes, i make Ozzy look like an altar boy....LOL

It's great to read more about you. Cooking and baking...would never have guessed, maybe you should post recipes instead of poems!
