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.
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.
@fernfren You've missed them :). I don't have a ton, because she is territorial and doesn't like me shoving my camera in her face, so I only do it after a cage cleaning when she's been disturbed anyway, and everything is all tidy. Soon I will hunt for leaves and twigs in local cemeteries to add to it, and a better idea for the pill bug hide, so I'll probably do more terrarium pics when it's all arranged.
@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.
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 🙌
@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
