Tree frog

[Billnew]

My tree frog climbed up my shoulder yesterday and sat there watching the family.

He's never did that before. If he moves he usually jumps to somone else.
My daughter took a picture of it.

Oh and FROGS RULE

OH that is so sweet! How long have you had your froggie? What is his name?

Leopard tree frog, tigerlily.

What is the difference between frog and a toad?

Frogs faces look like they are smiling
Toads look grumpy.

I have a White's tree frog, I used to have a green tree frog but I suspect the White's ate it...

I'm currently articulating a case to be made to my parents asking for an Australian Golden Bell frog.

Frogs are adorable...I love the green ones with the red feet, and those brightly colored poison ones from the rainforest.

Where can a person obtain such a pet frog? AND are they tame right from the start? AND, what do they eat, where do you get the food? J

Green tree frogs are the cutest...I use to have one that just showed up in my bathtub one day....he stayed there for awhile..so I would leave the water dripping in the tub and take him out a bit...we decided to name him killer...its just that my mom is terrified of frogs..I dont know why..being my mother u would think she would be use to them....but she borrowed my shower one day and I thought she was going to have a heart attack...she was screaming...my dad and me were in the living room and he asked me what was wrong with her...I said she must have met killer....when I got married and moved off from home I let him go.

Some pet stores have frogs. Usually green tree frogs sometimes whites,
occasionally pac man.

They eat live crickets, they have to see them moving to eat. Meal worms are for smaller frogs. Pet stores have them. Lizards eat them too.

Some are more outgoing and use to being handled. While others will do anything to get away from you. Frogs drink by absorbtion through their skin.
So you must wash your hands before holding them(prevent giving them germs or irritants to thier skin.) Then when done holding you must wash your hands to prevent them from giving you germs.
We have 4 frogs in a high top 30 gallon aquarium. We have had a firebelly in with 3 others. Fire belly toads are suppose to secrete a toxin when scared, but our frogs have never had a problem. (natures warning: bright colors mean poison)

Frogs are great pets but read up on them and ecspecially the type you want. You can look on line for sellers too. Don't just take what the pet store offers. Each frog has special needs, certain humidity and temps.
Don't let my warnings stop you from looking at frogs. My daughter brought
a toad she found in and that was it. It's still alive after 2 yrs.


Please buy only captive Bred(CB) frogs. Wild capture(wc) take frogs from nature and there is some that believe frogs populations are declining.
(I am not a tree hugger, but there are plenty of captive bred frogs around, and wild should remain wild)
I know, my daughter brought one home, it might have become dog food if she hadn't. My concern are the more exotic ones anyway.

My link to frog pic isn't working anymore. It did work the day after I posted it.
