Cuban Tree Frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis)

This heart-melter is native to Cuba, the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas, but an invasive species in places like Florida. These little invasive troublemakers enjoy clogging toilet drains and climbing into power boxes to cause power outages! But look at that face…how can you not forgive them…

recently stumbled into ownership of a fuckton of tadpoles that are now turning into adorable froglets, originally we were going to release them but my current research points toward these guys being cuban tree frogs, which are invasive here in Florida, so I don't feel morally right releasing them, now I will just own a lot of frogs

My coworker found a friend in one of the pothos plants at work and now hes mine! Hes got a good set up with some plants, a heater, and high humidity now so hopefully he'll perk up after being shipped from probably florida all the way to ontario, but if anyone has any tips for cuban tree frog care theyd be greatly appreciated!!

Also, his name is Dome Hepot

Thanks for clearing that up I wasn’t sure because Cuban tree frogs can get crazy with the camouflage 😂

Florida Treefrogs:

Yeah, Cuban Tree Frogs can vary greatly in color and pattern.

January 27, 2024 - Jamaican Blackbird (Nesopsar nigerrimus) Found only in Jamaica, these blackbirds live in wet mountain forests. They mostly eat insects and other invertebrates, as well as small frogs and lizards and some berries, often foraging in bromeliads and moss while climbing up tree trunks and branches. Breeding between May and July, females build bulky cup-shaped nests from orchids and rootlets on trees, often under bromeliads. They lay clutches of two eggs and incubate them alone, though both parents feed the chicks and protect the nests. Classified as Endangered by the IUCN, their population is declining due to habitat loss in their small and fragmented range, especially from bauxite mining, agriculture, and the charcoal industry. This bird is part of my yearly tradition of drawing closely related blackbird species on the anniversary of my first bird. Here are the others, if you’d like to see the whole group: Male Brewer’s Blackbird, Female Brewer’s Blackbird, Male Rusty Blackbird, Female Rusty Blackbird, Scrub Blackbird, Melodious Blackbird, Cuban Blackbird, Austral Blackbird, Bolivian Blackbird, Chopi Blackbird
