Ianab Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 This is a shot of my friends little tree frog. She has 2 of them in a small tank setup, very active if a couple of flys are dropped in I'm very pleased how the pic came out for such a small subject, about 3cm long.

Ianab Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 what type of frog is it as its not a brown whistling tree frog. I'm not sure, she was just given 2 of them by another friend about 6 months ago. I dont think she knows exactly what it is. Maybe someone else knows and can tell us?

snookie Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 my frog used to go brown when i never had much greenery in his tank ,i guess he is trying to blend with the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishandchips Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I had a couple of these guys with my newts for a while, grew them up from tadpoles. The are the coolest things to watch hunt, they just sit and wait patiently then in less then a blink of the eye the fly was gone. Very cool to watch. They had to be shifted to my parents pond when they started to chirp all night long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
