I've had the pleasure of interacting with some of you already regarding the injured northern green frog my boys found wrapped up in a net. Since he's on the mend and doing well, I'm not in emergency mode any longer, so thought it would be a good time to say hello.

Our little frog is a male named Survivor Pickle Banjo, but I just call him Pickle Banjo. It's a long name, but I love saying it in a specific rhythm, because it makes me smile

I've never been into reptiles or amphibians in my life, aside from observing them in nature. Growing up, my sisters had turtles, lizards, hamsters, hermit crabs, and used to catch frogs all the time. I was not interested at all. I was the one who was perfectly happy with a little 10 gallon fish tank for 2 huge goldfish that started out as feeders for my sisters' turtles. I'm now converted into an amphibian lover, since caring for Pickle Banjo (who was seriously on the verge of death).

Now I'm learning about setting up a vivarium for him. Since I love gardening and growing waterlilies in containers, I'm very excited about building his home!

Thank you for all the help from those who responded to my thread when I first started caring for him. I look forward to interacting with more of you.

Here is Pickle Banjo and his healing injuries...
