    That one on the left is what my frog usually looks like Right now she is skinny since I haven't been able to get any more caterpillars :P I am hoping to get a few more in the next couple of days and I wanted to breed them I will let everyone know how it is going after quarantine is over (which will probably we in 5 weeks or so)!
