Monday-
Ive started out my life in Abbotford BC and my interest in herps had begun at early times on a grade 2 fieldtrip, i had caught my first bullfrog! i felt so amazed and so intrieged and wanted to learn more, i eventually began to read up on my interest expanding from frogs to salamanders and reptiles. I have other hobbies of science study, History, archery and many other sports. i have3 many favourite colors and had written a poem recently in febuary about teh life of a frog, i still havent gotten it back

Tuesday-
My real first pet frog was two Pacific tree frogs that i had caught in my backyard named "Booger" and "Pepper". i had them for a good few weeks and let them go after getting tired of field sweepings. My FBTs were my first frogs that i had bought from Petsmart, i had gone to this store after work and noticed how interesting they are! My tomato frog "Bob the tomato" was the size of a penny when i first saw him, i had taken care of him for six months at the pet store i work at before i brought him home.

My first mistakes of keeping the FBTs was tank size, i had kept the two in a 5 gallon and later a 15 gallon. My second mistake was underestiomating these small gymnists! my first toad "Speedy" had escaped but i never found him . The way i had learned to care for these amazing animals is still reading up on them even after owning them, I try to get everyone's opinion on the frogs, from my bio teacher to my orthodontists. My fist attempt to breed the toads was an accident when i had realized i had gotten two males, i am still trying to save up for a 20 gallon to set up a breeding tank and maybe get more toads.

Wednesday - Comming soon!
