Yesterday, as soon as the sun went down and I could turn off all the lights to reduce glare, I brought out the tripod and did a better photo exploration of the terrorarium with the new moss from haunted Cherry street.

@tippitiwichet

and the gorgeous creature's name? bc i am *sure* you have given them one... 🤣 this is a pet? what kind of frog, pls tell me everything abt this frog

@fernfren Morty, but I'm not the one who named her. :) That would be the youngest, we were stuck in a hotel room in Rhode Island right after Covid hit. The only thing for her to watch was Rick and Morty. Sigh. Anyway, she is a mock tomato frog, the real tomato frogs look more evenly red, like a tomato. I like her better :). She is perpetually crankybutts, and gums my fingerworms often. She seldom moves, an ambush predator, therefore can have a small tank. She's in 10, hope for a 20 soon.

@tippitiwichet

omg they can live for 10 years! is she loud at night? googs says they're very vocal. while i do love to sleep with the window open to enjoy my native frog chorus, i'm not sure i want it coming from inside the house ha

but i love frog so much 🧡

@fernfren If you want a quiet female, there's a line on the inside of their thighs when you flip them over, that's how I sexed her. I took a pic, but naturally can't find it now. It's a whitish line, like a stripe kind of.
