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

i LOVE HER. formally requesting more Morty pls
she is beautiful

@fernfren I will absolutely show off more pics of my pretty frog. Including some baby pics of her fresh from Petsmart, a Christmas present for the youngest in 2021. She makes my love of color just get all melty.

@tippitiwichet

OMG.
...
first of all, BEBE

but also-- that patterning is gorgeous, colors flawless. i can't believe you've held out on this frog for so long. or somehow i missed every photo until today

Follow

@fernfren Oh yeah, and part of the reason I chose her species was because she matched my pillbugs, you've seen those, right? I'll be pulling some out to put on the moss I just gathered for photos when I do that session.

@tippitiwichet

NO i have NOT seen your ROLLY-POLEYS. that is a very pretty one. i'd heard they had some fancy upscale models, but had not yet seen... i have a young friend that reportedly has some of those, and also some kind of crazy centipede and an albino pacman frog named Gluten. i have seen and love the frog, but not the bugs.

i am so excited for your pending plant pics tho --there's gonna be wildlife too 🙌
