    True story. Every detail from the "dumbledore frog", to "he winked at me" is true.

    We weren't planning to buy a frog at the expo. She played it cool the whole time we were there, but the second we walked out of the building, she was so happy with her baby. At one point she looked in the ZooMed bag that the container was in and the frog chirped.

    Its a beautiful color of green, the pictures don't do it justice. The little s.o.b is fearless. He knocked down crickets left and right as soon as I put him in the tank.

    Phatties were on my frog bucket list, just not the number one spot. Plus the darts at the expo were not quite what I wanted. So it all worked out.

    As a compromise, my wife said that I could buy a tank at the next $1 per gallon sale. And you'll never guess what sale started last night at midnight.......

    That's awesome he ate for you on the first day home, lots of them tend to take a couple days to settle in. Sounds like you got yourself a healthy frog.

    <The first battle started while we were at the GexWear(awesome dude btw) booth with all the pacmans, as I'm looking at the frogs, and talking to Lance the breeder, I hear "he winked at me!" then she said "look how it keeps its eye on me when I move" >

    Hey, at least you got a little chubster! But is it green apple? Most green apples have poor genetic make-up, so they die faster than a regular
