Frog Pictures.

[nickbachman]

Let's see some more pics of your C. ornata.

 

[Goomba]

There is a frog species here that supposivly it's skin secretion is toxic, and therefore if you handle the frog and then handle a differnt kind of frog, you will kill the second.... You have any like that? I assume the dart frogs might be that way.

Some true frogs secrete a toxin for protection. I know true tomato frogs realease a gooey excrement when handled roughly.

fiorst some shots as per Nick's request.. this little horned frog eats like a Pyxie!

now my Pyxie.. I love this frog.

you can see the yellow is right doen the sides and onto the back legs already.. and its comparison rock would dissapear underneath it now

Cool pics! Forgive my ignorance but isnt that last frog a wee bit too fat

 

[Arachnophilist]

lol not really.. Pyxies tend to be rather plump and this one just had a big meal and is also puffing himself up cause he is pissed off that I am taking pictures of him.

 

[Arachnophilist]

Mantella laevigata and madagascariensis..

note: the handling of the frog was involuntary before any of you freak out cause I hold mantellas

 

[Marcel_h]

Thanks for your explanation .

 

[Arachnophilist]

no worries thanks for your concern!!

Gorgeous frogs! Your Pixie frog has grown so much since you first started this thread. That thing is impressive. Your frog collection just keeps growing and growing.

 

[Marcel_h]

those Mantella's are really nice. I thought about getting some Mantella aurantiaca but they are a bit too difficult for an beginner i'm afraid.

 

[Arachnophilist]

really? because M.aurantiaca are a fairly easy species to keep.. they like cooler temps and are bold and quite hardy. have you ever had any frogs at all?

yeah I have a problem lol I am going to keep adding to my dart and mantella collection. I just love the frogs they are great pets. I have 23 frogs right now.. and another 9 on hold for me

 

[Marcel_h]

Thats the problem i cant keep them cool enough. In past i had a cellar where i kept some darts tricolor, leucomelas and ventrimaculatus. Where i now live it just gets to hot. Beginner was perhaps a bad choice of words:8o

 

[Arachnophilist]

lol well yeah they are gonna need it cooler.. perhaps some orange galactonotus or some P.terribilis or P.bicolor?

 

[Marcel_h]

Those would be more suitable for me indeed thanks

 

[Arachnophilist]

I have seen the all orange galacs in person and they are a truly stunning orange. perhaps if you can locate some that would be a good one I would be jealous haha

[Arachnophilist]

[Arachnophilist]
