One of my tree frogs (an Amazon Milk Frog to be specific; pictured below ) Has died:( He lived a good long life (almost 10 years) so I’m not too sad. I’ve had a terrarium setup with plants for months with plans for dart frogs. Si nce the tree frog died and there was reptile expo this weekend. I got some new pals!
RIP Moss
I bought two
Ranitomeya variabilis
a.k.a “Splash Back Poison
Frog” or “Zimmerman’s Poison Frog”. For those of you who don’t know, these frogs aren’t poisonous
and only are in the wild because of their diet.
I haven’t picked names yet but they’ll likely be Tarantino characters as most our our pets are. They are super cool! I’ve always had tree frogs which are almost all nocturnal
and pretty lazy even when they are awake. Darts are diurnal and they are super active all of the time. They climb all over the place.
Also, my wife wanted a baby sulcata tortoise so I bought her one and she name him Spike. With our budding farm and my wife’s green thumb we always have supplies at the ready for new animals.
I cleaned the large terrarium that housed the frog who died and began planting it. I’ll let it grown in for a couple of months, then get some more frogs or move over some who need a fresh terrarium.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I’m sorry for you’re loss. You have very cool pets! I love the coloring of the frogs and tortoises are super cool. I loved turtles and tortoises as a kid.

Thank you, he lived well past his expected life span. S till I feel if I had been more regular with feedings that he would have lived longer. My other TF doesn’t care when or how much he’s fed, he just eats and goes back to the log. The guy who died needed his crickets in a bowl and only at night time. If there were too many in the bowl he wouldn’t eat them.
I’ve had darts before that I raised from tad poles, but no where as cool as these guys.
It’s funny purchasing a tortoise knowing that he/she will most likely out live me and by a good stretch. I hope our daughter takes care of him!
We actually already have a box turtle that has been in my wife’s family for more than 30 years! He’s not very friendly but he and I have an understanding where I bring him some veggies and water and then I fuck off while he eats.

That is the weird thing about turtles and tortoises they live such a long time. I laughed reading about you’re understanding with the box turtle, that’s hilarious.

We let him go for walks outside on nice days. I have a little flag I tie to his shell because he’s faster than you would think! The first time I did it I got the following text from my neighbor.
“hey man, there is a little pink flag moving slowly around your back yard, I looked over the fence but I can’t see what is moving it! It’s weird! ”
