Joe Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Man I love those puffy green froggies. So cute. Ya do? :-? They look like they have lots of tumerous growths or something! (Although they haven't really). Their skin is all flabby!! If you want cute, how about Whistling Tree Frogs? These are in New Zealand, introduced from Aussie, and they aren't a pest. I have kept them before (they aren't protected by DOC) and they make GREAT pets! They grow to about 4cm. They like flies, midges and all those buggy things. It is a good idea to keep them with a bit of water to swim in and lots of small mosses and ferns, and small emersed plants that grow about 10cm high with dense growth. Dark pea or fine gravel makes an ideal substrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrudd Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 We had house geckos in south africa. It was a curse and a blessing. They would eat all the mosquito's was the blessing, but the curse was all their droppings everywhere and the clicking sounds they made at night time while we tried to sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdspider Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I already have a whistling tree frog. he's ok but no where near as cute as a white's tree frog. (omg, that's my last name... I think it was meant to be) Once I saw on tv about some aussies who had a trio living in their bathroom, in the shower. They just liked hanging out in the streamy room. I want.

Joe Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I struggle to see how you like those frogs so much. Honestly, they look all wrinkled and shrivelled up with that flabby skin.....EWWWW! So you've all ready got a Whistling Frog. Cute aren't they. Small body, SMOOTH SKIN WITH NO WRINKLES, and big, cute froggy eyes. I know a place where there are literally hundreds of them. It is in this sub-alpine tussock valley around Lake Rotoiti in the Red Hills. There are a couple of large ponds that they breed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 They're cuuuute, they kinda look like they're melting. Whistler is boring and brown, white's are funny green and fatty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 i think you might be looking at the cane toad. No I'm looking at the ugly green one. The cane toad is just as bad. By the way, the pictures are nice. Good quality to. Whistler is boring and brown, white's are funny green and fatty. I still disagree! Whistlers are small, with big, round dark eyes. They are sooo small and cute. The White's looks like he's been eating too many potato chips and loading the pounds on! His skin's all slimy looking (although it probably isn't in actual fact) and his eyes are dull and expresstionless. Whereas Whistlers look mischevious and cute.

phoenix44 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I think the whites frogs are so ugly they are cute! :lol: They would make a unique pet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaky2 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 funny to think the whites are endemic to nz,but biosecurity decided to destroy the ones advertised on trade me.what about the whistlers,golden bell n aurea?wernt they all released at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 don't think endemic is the right word but definitely introduced to new zealand in a few areas, then a 2nd lot introduced a few years later not recorded in the wild in the last 30 plus years saw them in johnny walkers pets in K rd auckland when i was a youngster then in aussie years later, they called them dumpy frogs because of their appearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pics BTW aussie is an awesome place for things like this, although I hear they might be getting slammed on fish species soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 yes, I'm well aware of the saga. Kinda sad that all those frogs got put down if they were really in the country all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaky2 Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 yes, I'm well aware of the saga. Kinda sad that all those frogs got put down if they were really in the country all along. yea ,if they were here then they will turn up again! if they wernt here then they wouldnt of established anyway! they will fall back on disease risk(too hard basket)ask them to come up with a health standard (no chance,user pays! i.e butterfly creek ,salties) it seems to me that A... they had an axe to grind(much like green iguana saga)...but how come K never got dragged through court!...how many people were out of pocket from that sham(not k)....or what they cant see cant hurt you...lets not make them work for there money!...sorry OUR money.... so the lesson is (according to biosecurity) if you have something on there list,or more to the point, something NOT on there list, keep under the radar..... and they wont care :roll:the whole system stinks of corrupt pork to me 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
