thagirionHope everyone had a good 4th. Chris and I just stayed home yesterday but we did celebrate our 25th year and 5 month anniversary also. I've been busy taking care of my first dart frog tadpoles I ordered. If you're on my youtube you've probably already seen this.

I posted a video in my last entry about what they look and sound like as adults. There were a lot of 4th of July sales so I took advantage and also ordered 3 tadpoles of Mint Dart Frogs Phyllobates terriblis. I have actually been wanting some of these for a long long time. So funny story. I have been on Black Jungle Terrarium's newsletter for over a decade. I shop with them because they sell nepenthes though they are mostly a dart frog store. Ages ago they sent a newsletter advertising these mint frogs. I had never seen anything like them and was amazed but boy were they expensive. But I never forgot about them. Well they've never had them in stock since. Now that I know about ordering tadpoles instead of frogs I've been on the search and finally found some. I could only afford 3 but that's ok because I'd like to eventually get 2 more later on from another seller so I have genetic diversity. Well if you saw my unboxing video I have been spoiled by KC Exotics and I'm sure I'll never have another such amazing and money's worth purchase as that.
I'm looking forward to my birthday and hoping I'll get some plant and froggy related stuff this year. Chris has already gotten me awesome gifts rather early. Oh and we have named our two red greenhouse frogs. Male is Michigan and female is Patty. Of course I named the male after the Looney Tunes frog. Chris came up with the name Patty because the female likes the Krusty Krab hide I gave them and is always in there. Michigan rarely goes in there. I don't know why, but I wonder if he might be afraid of Patty.
