Photo of the Month July 2010

Thanks, Haley.
Yes, Kurt, they are hard to keep at the first few weeks. I have a couple of this spiece since Sep 2009. When I took them home, they are very skinny and refused to eat too. They are so shy and very sensitive to light. They would be frightened even when I walked pass the tank thus I needed to cover the tank with black cloth at night. Is yours the same?? Now they seem doing well. Do you have any idea of breeding them or any source of information about breeding of them?

I would say mine is shy, not panic sticken. He spends most of his time in the water bowl. I have yet to see him eat, but fruit flies, bean weevils, and small crickets all dissapear. I have also had him for over a year now. So I know he is not starving to death.

As far as breeding is concerned, I would assume you can breed them like a red-eye. See red-eye care article.

I have very little information on this frog. So everything has been trial and error, that a working knowledge of Hylid husbandry

Here's a picture of "Titan" the larger of my two white's. I tried to snap a picture of him when he was really bright green, but looks like I was too slow.

I was hoping to get out shooting more this month, but just haven't had the time. So here's a wild Northern Leopard Frog, Rana pipiens,




Some particles in the water were cloned out, John can DQ me if this falls outside the spirit of the rules and I'll enter the pre-edit version

Not sure how to vote, but I vote for UncleChester's photo of the Nothern Leopard Frog. Excellent photography. I'm trying to master that exact same shot when i'm out doing research for sharks. The above water and below water takes some skill! Excellent Shot!

You wait until everyone has submitted their photos and John opens the ballots.

Opps, sorry everybody! I"m an amateur with this site. Who knows, maybe i'll withdraw that vote and vote for another photo

Thanks! It helped that I was able to put the frog in a very controlled environment for this shot. You probably don't have the option of setting up a little studio in your backyard to take the sharks to!

See, my problem is: I entered a picture. Now if I vote I will be tempted to vote for myself.
And if I try to vote for someone else I will feel bad because I consider my picture to be highly relevant to the month.

My only hope is to either not vote, or just not enter pictures if I have plans to vote. (This is why I never ran for class president in school.)

There's no rules on how you should vote, you can use whatever criteria you like and not feel bad about it. Remember, it's all in fun so don't let it stress you out

I want that picture on my wall! Very cool!
