    Hi Kurt:

    Thanks for the great article on the rubber frog. I have always been fascinated with them.

    You're welcome and thank you. I have both microps and bifasciatus, maybe I will breed them somday.

    Thanks to Darren, for clarifying the whole ant nest deal. I thought I had missed something when researching the article. I am relieved that is not the case.

    Something interesting happened to me on Saturday night. I have been trying to get my bandeds to go into hibernation but with little success. So one of the largest females was out on Saturday night and I started stroking her on the back and I felt her skin getting very wet and then my finger started tingling, now I have no idea if this was all in my mind or if this was an actual result of the toxin - this then throws my theory out that they only can create toxins from eating ants.
