First i must apologize I have a tendency to forget that tumblr - even when we're all 'on' - is not live interaction and additionally you can't actually read my mind 😅

This was in reaction to seeing your ... delightful?? .. new frog. In such a state. And I got nervous 😋🦀💖

Annon... I´m gonna cry... I love you♡♡♡ you´re making me do happy jumps♡

And I understand fully what you mean about "reading minds" if you can call it that, we´re all there at times!

I hope this is you trying to get me to talk about my wonderful frog Kaj because that´s what I´m gonna do know XD

-

This is Kaj - named after my second favorite show as a child - he´s 25 cm long, and he´s a treefrog, there didn´t stand which one but my best guess is a red eyed tree frog, he just doesn't have the blue stripes, he could also be a Agalychnis moreletii (Morelet's tree frog) but he doesn't have black eyes and Morelet´s are known for their black eyes (a nickname of theirs is black eyed frog).

He could also be an American green tree frog, but his feet are a bit too pigmented, and back a bit to light for that, although the eyes would match there.

Actually he´s a woman as he has an ovary and oviduct (the blue stuff you can see below his urostyle) but I didn´t know that until I unpacked him, where I already had named him

Going with the idea he´s a Morelet (as that´s what he looks most like) he would be around 60mm (f-54 m-60/64)

Red eyed tree frog gets around 6/7 cm (f-7,5 m-5)

All in conclusion he´s a tree frog. Which kind of one? Karl.

And no, the crabs need not fear, he´s much too small to be of any danger in the wild, and my Kaj is made of plastic so he doesn't really jump or eat, unfortunately.

Although some crabs might want to watch out for the Goliath frog... (world's biggest frog at around 32 cm and 3.3 kilograms)

Turtle Frog: The only species in its genus, this frog lives in the arid climates of Western Australia. In order to hide from the dry conditions, they burrow into the sandy dirt to take shelter. However, while most burrowing frogs dig in using their hind legs, these frogs use their powerful forelimbs to dig forwards. After springtime rain, a male and female will select each other as mates before digging deep underground (sometimes over a metre!) They spend several months together in this burrow before breeding, then lay their eggs in place. The young fully metamorphosize within the eggs and emerge as full-fledged froglets.

Morelet's Tree Frog: Once common in the pet trade, their wild populations are declining due to the chitrid fungus and habitat destruction. Because of this, they’re officially listed as critically endangered and are possibly extirpated from Southern Mexico, only remaining in patches of Central America. They lay their green-tinged eggs over water, letting the tadpoles drop into it when they hatch. When breeding, the female chooses the male based on the length and frequency of his call.

MORELET’S TREE FROG Agalychnis moreletii ©Laura Quick

Morelet’s tree frog is a species of tree frog of family Hylidae. It belongs to the leaf frog subfamily, and is found in Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. They have also been called black-eyed leaf frog and popeye hyla.

The population of Morelet’s tree frogs are also being affected due to a disease called Chytridiomycosis, which is an infectious disease that kills amphibians. Chytridiomycosis and habitat destruction are projected to cause the population to decline over 80% in the next 10 years. In some regions, the frogs have gone extinct completely. source

The Morelet’s tree frog [also known as the black-eyed tree frog, Agalychnis moreletii] can be found in Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Belize. These frogs inhabit the canopy layer of moist forests, but are rarely seen by humans due to their beautiful green camouflage. Images by Todd Pierson and Maria Delia Basanta.

Morelet's Tree Frog - Agalychnis moreletii 

Although not as popular as its congener, the Red-eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas), the Morelet's Tree Frog, Agalychnis moreletii (Hylidae), also called Black-eyed Leaf Frog, is equally impressive and certainly faces greater threats.

It is an uncommon and Critically Endangered species with patchy distribution, from central Mexico to Central America.  Populations in Mexico have almost entirely disappeared, likely due to chytridiomycosis.

The developing eggs of Agalychnis moreletii, also known as the Morelet’s tree frog. These frogs are native to Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. They mostly breed in the summer months, depositing clutches of 50 to 75 eggs on leaves or ledges which hang over a body of water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water to complete their development. Images by Dr. Peter Janzen.
