JUST BECAUSE I WOULD AND COULD AND DID

THANK YOU PICMONKEY, YOU ARE STILL MY FIRST LOVE IN EDIT PROGRAMS

Frodena Frog Nature Friday

Silly blogger is at it again, can't move the pics around, can't get them to center. who know what may happen. 

I have named this Mama frog, Frodena Frog, that is a German name that means wise friend.

 I named her that because when I grabbed my suit and walked inside to put it on, she climbed up onto the straps, and just looked at me.  Bob had just stepped in and I yelled LOOK LOOK and held it out. She just looked at both of us as I quickly stepped outside to hang her back on the towel rack.... Had to do it quickly because if she jumped off inside the house, it is hard to capture them.. the are QUICK and can leap about 4 or 5 feet. 

She was very wise and did not leap off and just sat and listened to me coo talk at her about how pretty she is and how much I love her cute little feet/toes

I left her there and got another suit... 

Itty Bitty Teeny Weeny

Did you read the title, Itty Bitty Teen Weeny and start to sing about bikinis? If so you are WRONG.. Bob was in the pool when this Itty Bitty Teeny Weeny Frog, so tiny it could sit on a pencil eraser, landed on his arm. He was in the deep end, swam side stroke slowly, climbed out, walked to sliding glass door and said in a Hurry UP scary voice. Samar! Come HERE!

I freaked out thinking he was bleeding, ran to the door... and there sat the cutest frog I have ever seen, so tiny I feared the lens would not focus on it.

After a few SNAPS! Bob walked him to the flower pot and let him hop off into the bushes...This little guy was about the size of a house fly...

Froglets

I found a cheaper way to feed the tabpoles. I bought a head of red leaf lettuce, wilted the whole thing and serve a few pieces each day. They use it for food and to sit on to rest.. Look at circled teeny frog above right corner.

Enlarge and see the tiny legs as he rest on the lettuce below

Two more tiny tree frogs, they are in the bottom of the measure cup... So tiny and perfect. I could put both of these side by side on the palm of my hand and still have room for more. It has occurred to me these guys are invasive and not natural to Florida, but what can I do??? it's to late now.

Frog Report

He or She is about 1 and 1/2 inch long

This is one of my Tadpoles grown up, there is another one living in the bathing suit. I think it is Freddy the daddy of the tadpoles. I ran out of spring lettuce mix and steamed frozen spinach.. Now all the little frogs look like POP EYE... he he he....   Bob called me outside and said LOOK WHAT YOU DID.... there were half a dozen teeny frogs in the swimming pool. The rain barrel is almost empty, YAY....
TO THOSE OF YOU... who made comments about the tadpoles staying because I fed them. There is no way for them to LEAVE the barrel until they grow legs. They were not growing legs but were becoming cannibals because I found 2 of them eating 2 others. I figured out they had been in there for 3 months and it should have been 3 or 4 weeks. Next time I see eggs floating in the water I will be scooping them out. But then who will eat the mosquito larvae, we did not see a single mosquito all the time they were there.

That is when I started feeding them, and within 2 weeks of getting enough food they turned into frogs, but alas not one into a prince.

Freddy Junior...

I have a problem! I am STILL feeding Tadpoles, it cost me 3.78 a week to feed them. I want to stop but what can I do? they are just now turning into tiny frogs.. This is Freddy Jr. He is the size of an eraser on a pencil.... I did a couple of Lunapic to show you how cute he is.. Don't you just LOVE him?  would you buy spring mix for tadpoles?   I said to Bob, this is silly, I am not buying more food. When I came home from WM and went out to feed them, he said I KNEW YOU WOULD buy more lettuce.  They have been in the barrels since July 24th, I have been feeding them for weeks now. In the past they did not need food because they were gone within 3 weeks.
One of the tiny frogs leaped off the barrel to the ground and I nearly expired from JOY...

There are now FOUR tiny frogs, about a dozen with front legs only, another dozen with 4 legs but still have a tail.... Now that you know this, you can sleep better.....😎  If I start a Lettuce for Tadpoles Go Fund Me, will you donate?????

Tadpole Update

It has been 2 months since Freddy and Mama frog had tadpoles in the rain barrel Prior Post here

Tadpoles are common in the barrel and usually they are hopping out of there with in 3 to 5 weeks as tiny frogs
They are still there. I started fretting a couple of weeks ago that they did not have enough food, I found 2 of them doing cannibal acts on another one. With research I found how to feed them.

Now I am cooking spring mix lettuce for them, This was the first day I threw the pieces in and they came and devoured it, so now each day I am cooking spring mix lettuce. They Love it. Can't use the cheap iceberg, no nutrition in it. they are growing like crazy.. The thing is Big Boy tries to get in the rain barrel to see why I am throwing food in it. They eat other things but I have the lettuce so why not. Have to wilt it and chop in tiny pieces, but I found they make the big pieces tiny over night.

look closely and tell me they are adorable. I think they are

Cooked lettuce, ready to dump in the barrel

Freddy is Back

One Frog, edit in Beta PicMonkey. The New PM is coming soon

I first met Freddy Frog of the Cuban Tree Frog tribe, about the first week of June, 2018.. He was busy making babies. Here he is in water and in his bucket... Please enlarge the below photo and tell me those are the cues ever little sucky feet... and how about those EYES....

The first gang of tadpoles were laid in May and within 4 weeks were tiny frogs.
The tadpoles now are 5 or 6 weeks and show no sign of growing legs. I checked with Google Girl and She said. they can take up to 16 weeks to turn in to frogs, depending on the type. Well Freddy is responsible for both sets.. so what does that mean?

If he wants more children he will have to find a new girlfriend, Mama leaped from the shovel right into Jakeosaurus mouth while I Screamed NO JAKE NO.... she had a proper burial.

if you like frogs, check out the ones I want NEXT...  HERE

He leaped from the bucket to hide in the leaves but it did him not one whit of good!

I can't help myself..

I can't help myself, I watch these guys swimming and I just LOVE them. The second crop is getting bigger by the day.

Froggy went a courtin... AGAIN

Bob Yelled in the back door. COME LOOK IN THE RAINBARREL... I took the camera, I knew what it might BE..

MAMA Frog was back and 87 million tadpoles..it has rained every day for a week.

Shades of Bobby Darin started playing in my head..

Well, how was I to know there was a party going on?

Bing bang, I saw the whole gang dancin' swimming on in my livin' room rug rain barrel (yeah)
Flip flop, they were doin' the bop, all the teens tadpoles had the dancin' bug
There was Lollipop with Peggy Sue
Good golly, Miss Molly was a even there too
A well a splish splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancing shoes on
I was a splishin' and a splashin', I was rollin' and a strollin'
I was a movin' and a groovin', I was a reelin' with the feelin'

Mama at the bottom of our watering pitcher.. that is how bob found her, he was about to water my wildflowers

I thought I had lost my Southern accent but after listening to these short videos. NOPE! did not
 Mama is now Peggy Sue.. isn't she adorable???

MOVIES WITH MY voice on them, they look strange but they work. Had problems with YouTube so uploaded from phone video.

Location Location Location

In a prior post you met Liam Lizard, resident of my zebra striped bathing suit condo. Sunday, I noticed he was on the wall luring Lina Lizard into his Lair.. I decided to swap the polka dot condo suit and see if he would move into it. Above you will notice, the white straps of the suit, suited him just fine. It appeared it was Location! Location! Location! and not the stripes, he loved the dots.

As I grabbed the striped suit, I held it open to check for other Lizards and started to shriek at Bob who was in the pool, LOOK! LOOK AT THIS!   What to my wondering eyes had appeared????

NOT ONE BUT Two friends had moved into Liam's Condo turning it into a TIMESHARE!!!

Can you see him now???? I have played for two days with these two frogs who took up residence in the Zebra Stripe Timeshare....

I believe they are two of the tadpoles grown up... and Monday AM I found they are female and male because they were on the ledge of the window making whoopee and at 4 AM I had to stand guard to protect them from the Jakeosaurus dog that was hunting them... After the sun came up they are GONE, but will be back when it rains again. The two of them stayed inside the suit all day Sunday.

I got these photos by jiggling the suit gently to make them crawl up and out in the sunshine... are they adorable or what?

He or She was highly indignant that I the MadSnapper was causing earthquakes to shake their time share.

Who let the frogs out -The End

Sorry for the Quality, all my phone could do

Froggy went a courtin and he did ride in two prior posts... the tadpoles are soooo cute. 4 days from laying of the eggs.  There were strings of black eggs in the barrel on day one, day two they were floating black dots, day four they were swimming tadpoles..

I Overheard a tadpole say  "I want to be a tuna when I grow up"

Another replied " Tough! you're gonna be a frog, a Cuban Tree Frog in fact"

"You will be part Cuban and a Tad-polish..." another one said... HEH HEH HEH

Oaky Croaky! this is The End... until it is NOT!!!!

After watching the below "MOVIE" let me know  if you think I have a career in writing screen plays"

Who Let The Frogs Out? part 2

Collages by MadSnapper and PicMonkey

What else can I do with FORTY FOTOS of FROGS?

Cuban tree fogs size from 1.5 inches to 5 inches. The male is smaller, much smaller than the female.

The Cuban treefrog, Osteopilus septentrionalis (Figure 1), is native to Cuba, the Isle of Youth (an island province of Cuba also known as Isle of Pines), the Cayman Islands, and the Bahamas

I use a lot of puns, or so I have been toad...sooooo I will just ask you this.

What do you call a lying frog?  An Amfibian... 

Do you know why frogs are so happy? They eat whatever bugs them.

This is a decent post, even though it may not be ribbitting...

can you find 3 frogs? 

Who Let The Frogs Out??

Who let the frogs out?   A Tale of A Three Frog Night!

It all started when the drought broke and we GOT RAIN! Inches of Rain!

The Rain Barrel Over Floweth Type Rain

Picture this! I wake up to the LOUD call of a Cuban Tree frog. It' is 2:45 AM. The rain is beating on the roof like a drum, the back up singers are NOT harmonizing.   The Rain Barrel is under the bedroom and kitchen window. We are getting Stereo Singing.... Even Bob Could Hear This!

The first photo is all I could seen in the dark..... I recorded the NOISE but can't figure out how to get a voice recording on here. TRUST ME! It could easily wake the dead..

I had to wait for the sun to come up because ALL 20 of the photos taken in the dark are to dark to see.  Never Fear, MadSnapper is HERE... The Tale is this.

One Male Frog had found his lady. The other male frog was jealous. I know this because all 3 were screeching, but there was also a tapping sound, like a clicker makes when training a dog.

This went on for SEVEN hours... every hour or so I ran out to take another picture. The lonely male would jump towards the Loving Couple. Each time the male of the couple would make his sides go in and out and make a clicking noise.

I watched as the Loving Couple jumped, from side of barrel to cup, cup to barrel, dove to the bottom to get away from my clicking camera, back to the bucket. the lone male chasing them. I kid you not this went on for 7 solid hours.

Bottom of the container we water plants with. Three Frog NIGHT
