In the beginning.....

Okay, so you might be asking why I am blogging, or why the frogs? This is my story, and i'm sticking too it. My neice who is 3 has a stuffed frog that I gave her a few months ago, she's now addicted to frog, we talk to frog, have to hug frog, show frog how much we love him. We kind of hate frog, lol so I thought it would be really cool for her to have a frog. Little did I know the work that is involved. So, I went and bought a Oriental Fire Bellied Frog. Real cute, (pics coming soon). So I have a cute little habitat, and we are just this cute frog family now. Well, frog who's name is Annie, stinks pretty bad. I've also been reading that they need a mate, so I go and get a 2nd smelly frog, and now his name is Sister. ( I don't pick the names, my neice does! lol) So, with 2 frogs I get a little bigger of a tank, but then went through this whole smelling problem. So, I get a 3rd tank! lol Which is now a 10 gal tank, put some stone in it, have a filter, we are living the high life.

Okay, so the tank is all set up, the first time I fed it crickets I became a frog stalker and I can admit it. I was glued to the front of the tank for about 2 hrs! lol I was amazed at how they eat the crickets, cause if you didn't know, they don't have the long tongues that grab the crickets, they actually have to pounce on them and eat them whole, it really sounds nasty, but watching it is really cool!

So now it comes to mating, oh i'm becoming the expert on the sexual orientation and reproduction on frogs! So first of all, frogs do not have penis's! Cool huh? So, basically what happens during mating is the male frog tends to clasp the female underneath in an embrace, now in frog world they call it "amplexus" in my world, she's getting it up the ass. He literally climbs on her back and reaches his arms around her waist and can stay like that for several days!

Now the mail fertalizes externally, so what happens is, the male fertalizes the eggs as they are laid! If you have more than 1 male in a tank with a female, they all may take turns fertalizing the eggs, which now the female frog has become a slut with many froglets with many fathers! I'm hoping to be able to breed these frogs at some point.

Okay, so, I come home from work the other day and guess what they are doing??? Yes, they are having sex!!!!!!!! OMG I was so flippin excited cause i'd never seen this before, so I took pics! lol Yes, honestly I did! Now, they say you know if you have a male and female if they female allows the male to stay on her back for a period of time, well they were attached for quite some time. So, the next day my neice comes over to see her frogs and they are attached to each other, so how do you explain to a 3 yr. old what they are doing? Well, I have the answer, you tell her that they are playing horse back riding! I said you know how your brother will carry you on his back sometimes, that's what they are doing! So, then she's laughing, yelling get off me frog get off me, and she's shaking her body as if she is the bottom frog. Quite humorous I have to say.

So, it's become an addiction, I watch the tank for hours, i'm a peeping tom taking pics of frog porn and just loving it! lol So that is how I started this blog, after some of my very good friends convinced me to do this! So, anyway, that's my story and i'm sticking to it! lol
