Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween everyone! The orange frogs were out in force today to celebrate.

First up, a couple of beautiful Salt Creek kids. Love the belly on the second shot.

And next the Cristobals. I promise I didn't pose that first one. They seemed to be holding a conference when I walked by the tank today. These are all F1s from my trio. I've been very pleased with the way the offspring from these frogs have turned out.

A little closer.

Slightly washed out, but still pretty.

Mother's Day Tribute

Here's a little ode to some of the gorgeous girls in my collection.

Mama Cristo whose babies are even better looking than her

Scarface Cristo is a devoted mom

One of the chubby toad girls

Gorgeous hopeful CDA girl. Not a peep in 1 1/2 years and very alluring to her male companion

Though the Salt Creek girls are hard to tell apart, they are amazing moms

Such devotion!

Slow and steady wins the race for the pretty popa girls

Though mama Basti doesn't much like her photo taken, she is one fantastic mom

This Grannie girl isn't very interested in her suitor, but hopefully age will change that

Sirensis lovebirds

This little Darkland female is on her way home to meet her new mate. Thank you Gabe, Ed, Chris, and of course Eric M!

Baby Shots

Just when I was about to give up... I found this in the BFS viv this morning. Without seeing any tads in the broms, or feeding from the mom, I thought that this clutch had just been abandoned. Super excited to find this little one!

And this one.

Pumilio Salt Creek in Their New Home

Ed just sent me a few photos of the F1 male and unrelated female in their new setup. It's so rewarding to see my frogs go to a great home! Moments like this are what this hobby is all about!!!

Tales from the Frog Room

A few updates from the frog room. The Frye Darkland pair unfortunately turned out to be two very volatile males, which quickly had to be separated; the Frye Golfitos have been cautiously getting to know their new home; and the rest of the quarantined frogs got a clean bill of health from Wasatch Exotic Pet Care and went into their permanent homes this week. The fine spot Bastimentos and Rambalas settled in and started exploring right away. It's been difficult to get pictures, but here are a couple that show their coloring fairly well.

The following two photos are from when the Bastimentos FS were still in quarantine.

One of the Golfitos has decided this film canister is his/her favorite spot to hang out.  I can almost always find him/her there.

I found one of the Popa kids running around today. This is the first time I've seen them since right after they came OOTW over two months ago. 

F1 Isla Popa Golden

And lastly, the first of the Bastimentos Salt Creek kids went to their new home with Ed. I couldn't be happier with this placement! He took the first calling male from my F1s and an unrelated female that I purchased with the group. She was too young to sex until she paired with my male last month so I figured she'd be a good match for this little guy. I know Ed will take great care of them!

Pumilio BSC

The BSC froglets are coming along nicely. I think this little chub is my favorite. Wish the camera would focus on him better though.

Caught mom transporting the other day (sortof).

And she has another clutch of 10 developing on a leaf.

Still can't get over the brilliant orange on these guys!

First Pumilio BSC OOTW

Found this active little Salt Creek yesterday morning. He's out exploring nearly every time I walk by the tank.

And later I found his little brother :)
