Last nights episode of GoT was amazing! Can't wait for next week!

Do you read the series also? If not I definite recommend it! I even have my husband reading it now. I am just about to finish the last 100 pages of book 5. Read all 5 with in three weeks- you can't put it down!

Ok well like a lot of people I came to keep frogs through my love of reptiles, I thought I might try something different and it went on from there, I went easy first with the southern brown tree frog which is local and doesn't need heating humidity etc, that then carried on to striped marsh frogs which I bred and had several generations of(hoping to get back into them soon!), and now leads me to my 3 Aussie green tree frogs which are full of personality and great to look after. There are always mistakes along the way, I made the mistake of leaving a tiny gap in one of my original tanks and the little southern brown escaped and I never saw him again , but we learn from that. I'm glad to say that none of my frogs have died from anything other than old age apart from the escapee. I found frog forum looking for a place I could learn and what better place than this I say , I would still say that frogs are a sub obsession as you know here in Aus the reptiles are awesome. But I will continue to keep frogs for a very long time especially litoria chloris which I will eventually go for!
