That's pretty neat. Possums are so cute . That must have been pretty interesting.

Ah, so you'll be able to teach us bundles more about plants?

I LOVE possums! We live in the city and we had a small stray cat colony that we would feed and the possums would come eat the cat food and hang with the cats. They were one big happy family.

lol. Normally when I'm talking about myself the reptiles are the first things I bring up. Haha, forgot where I was!

Hm... How I got into frogs... Honestly I randomly decided to get a turtle two years ago whilst highly medicated on the way home from a conference, realized they didn't sell turtles in NC, and decided on getting a frog instead. That's how I ended up with my pacman, Trevor Luckily I had experience with reptiles so it didn't take me long to realize that what the petstore guy was telling me was way off, but that's how I got back into the hobby and discovered forums, so in the end it was a good thing.

The main thing I've learned is that if you want a healthy frog, buy from a breeder, and don't let anyone without experience with frogs take care of your frog. Trevor is still recovering from being left in the care of someone who didn't follow directions as closely as they needed to be for an extended period of time. That's been a learning experience though. She ended up severely toxed out and impacted, and would randomly have seizures whenever she got stressed or excited for awhile. It also affected her digestive system, so I've had to to impaction treatments every one to two weeks for months otherwise she absolutely would not go.
She's still kind of special, but that's gradually getting better.

Haha, feels strange being member of the week on a frog forum when I only have one frog.
