Saw a trio of frogs living their best life

I always show pics of my snakes, and I show some of the wild herps I've encountered, but I don't think I've shown yall my frogs. This is my iiiittty bitty Cuban tree frog! I got him for free when he snuck into one of my bioactives via a tropical plant order. This is why you should always check your plants! Its not the first time I've gotten a free frog with my plant imports lol. They're invasive here in the U.S and their chirps have been known to mess with native frog species mating- ontop of that, these frogs are some of the largest tree frogs in the U.S and will often eat Native tree frogs or out-preform them. I've gotten native frogs on my plants too- those Natives I typically release during the night. But this little fella? I consider invasive species who are actively hurting the ecological balance free game. He has a nice 4ftx2ftx2ft enclosure to roam around, plenty of isopods, springtails, and the occasional dump of flightless fruit flies with supplements I give him. He's nearly tripled in size since he's appeared. He's still just a lil fella, but he's doing pretty great!

Good morning from Mr Frog and Judith on this lovely foggy morning 😊🌫️

I’m not sure how this lil man survived long enough to come into my care. And I mean survive in the bare minimums of the word I literally thought I was looking at a dead frog until the fucking guy hopped. I’m not always sure how he survives now tbh cause for his next mealworm he fell backwards into his water. And then ate it all nice and civilized like nothing had happened.

A FROG BROKE INTO MY HOUSE

we had him in a Tupperware for the night and this morning I pimped him out in a giant storage container

(The enclosure is supposed to be pretty bare, apparently that's how they like it) I threw a starfish in there for ✨decor🙌✨ and I guess I'm going to have to hunt for bugs now. I'm open to names.

I should probably clarify that I’m not constantly picking Tiny up and rewrapping her in an old (clean) rag I just give her access to one this time of year. She’s had the same one for the past 5 days if it gets messy I’ll change it out. And I only feed her when I see she needs assistance this time of year.

Plus I saw someone saying don’t release amphibians but I got her from my artificial above ground pond cover raised her in a brand new fish bowl I bought for her filled with pond water from my pond and released her to that same pond so she had no contact with my indoor fish, animals, or from what I can tell new germs. (Please don’t put fish in a fish bowl 5+ gallons with an optional heater depending on the species and non optional aquarium filter with activated carbon and fully cycled).

*sorry thought I would clarify

From Central Florida, a lil tree frog? Very handsome

Frog ID - FL, USA:

Hello, yes, this little friend is a Cuban Tree Frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis), family Hylidae.

As the name suggests, this frog was introduced into the US from Cuba, where it is native. It is considered to be a highly invasive species.

Do you have a favorite frog?

Your username made me curious (and there are so many cool frogs).

I really like oak toads because they are small and cute (and I am basic). I also have a soft spot for Cuban tree frogs after owning one for years. And American bullfrog are highly underrated!

idk the names for the frogs but I love all of them! they are SOOO cute and underrated like whut-

and yeah i‘m also a basic bitch so this is my fav:

I am sorry.

But those words mean nothing to you.

Your mouth could never form the syllables,

Your brain could never understand the words.

Only the gentle vibrations,

And perhaps the heat of my breath.

I am sorry, I say,

But the apology is for my own sake.

You didn't ask to be an omen,

Nor I your executioner.

But I have a duty to protect what ought to be here,

And you have a goal to persist.

I am sorry we played God once before.

And brought your ancestors on a journey,

To a paradise you will always be unwelcome in.

Who knew the wooden crates you once stowed away in

Would also form your casket.

I am sorry, I say.

But you are unable to accept

an apology you can barely comprehend.
