Our Frogs and their new tank . . .

Okay, so here are our frogs. I (Nicholaus - I am writing this one) am obsessed with frogs, but we only own three of them so far. So here is their new tank first off. . .


So now that they FINALLY have a beautiful tank (thanks to our friend Todd), now you can meet our kids. First off is Hotdog. He is a North American Green Tree frog that Emily caught on an outside window of a shop in Florida. He is our only frog that has actually come from the wild, rather than being bred in captivity. Here he is in our bromeliad on the left-hand side of the waterfall.


The next two frogs are named Spike (the little one) and Boca (the biggest one). Spike is an Amazon Milk frog and Boca is an Emerald Peacock, or a more commonly called "Big-Eyed" tree frog. We got both of them from the Reptile Expo last year and they are doing well. We sometimes like these guys more because they don't bark like Hotdog, so they don't wake us up at 2 in the morning! More frog pictures to come.
