[ScienceGirl]

Hahahaha!

Haha! Oh, this little guy is going SOMEWHERE! And everyone better stand BACK! :lol: Hate to be the little lizard in HIS path.

Somebody please send me one of these!

Looks like a puffer fish!

All of these pictures are very cute - but the first pictures with the strand of saliva (do frogs have saliva...?) is just precious!

From what I read these stay buried most of the time and only come out during the rainy season to feed, shed and mate. They make boring pets. Still... I NEED ONE!

Or one of these...

"Glass Frog: A living transparent amphibian native to rainforest."

That guy is super cool. Probably, he'd be my first choice should I ever get a frog.

Breviceps adspresus

Is this a puppy-dog eyes look? :tt1: Or a staring contest? :blink:

Either way, I'm sure we'll all be the first to give in!

:shifty: "Hey arch-nemesis from elementary school. Think you're so good at staring contests, eh? Bet you can't beat my [insert dramatic pause and magician flourish] FROG!!!"

Haha! I kept frogs given to me by my grandparents, aunts, and cousins from their backyards. Once we even had a toad. Frogs are very cool.

Hahahaha!

This might be my favorite pitcture of anything ever.

He has plans- he's going somewhere! He may not know where... but he is!

The bullfrog defensive scream is quite disturbing when you're in the middle of the woods at night and you hear it.

Yes rain frogs are boring, they do stay buried most of the time and like the few others to get them here from Madagascar we were not successfull in raising the eggs and tadpoles this species with many others from Madagascar will be extinct soon with no living relatives in captivity as they are short lived species.

Glass frogs are easy, most have come in through UnderStoryEnterprises.com via Mark Pepper you can get them for about $165 each and incase you dont know they pretty much stay about the size of a quarter and eat Hydei as a staple diet, I have friends now hoping to be the first to successfully breed these in the States but their in for a long tad pole stage which is 2 yrs average.
