I had 400 after I deleted any I didn't like.

[Kurt]

So are you going to share any with us?

I've been sharing them already - there's a bunch on the home page and in my albums.

OH ok, I will have a look then.

Wow, what a incredibly beautiful frog! He's lucky you found him before a neighbor's cat did! His skin texture is amazing. Lucky for both of you! Enjoy him!

Thank you!

He is doing very well since the original post. He is eating well and has increased in size dramatically.

I have not found much captive care info on these guys, so I am winging it. Thankfully I know they like a lot of water, and eat anything that moves. He tends to go arboreal during the day to sleep, but spends the rest of the time in the water, or at the water's edge on his island.

I kind of wish I could catch a few more, but these little guys are hard to spot in the wild- they are usually in the water and on the bottom before you even realize they were there.

Good News!

While doing my pre-mowing bug net sweep of my yard today, I found another one of these little guys in my bug net! He is now with his brethren.


I really enjoy these plucky little critters.
