Description
This is my Tomato frog, Tangerine.
Yes the frog is suppose to be out of focus. I wanted it like that..the focus is suppose to be more on his front foot. I didn't pose him like this either. As I was taking shots of him he just decided to stick his one foot out. Why? Your guess is as good as mine!

What a beautiful Tomato frog! Do you mind me asking where you got this fine fellow and around for how much?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I got him from a breeder at a herptile show in PA.
I think I paid $20 for him. Or it might have been $30 which isn't bad. Usually Tomatoes can go for a more. I wouldn't spend anymore then $60 for one tho if you are getting one by mail or from a pet store. It would be best if you can get one directly from a breeder..at least you will know where you are getting it from. I don't trust pet stores...

I would like that. It's people like that who make me smile. Being passionate about an animal and not abusing them and breeding them just to get money makes me sick to my stomach.
I don't really trust pet stores either. They're so commercialized and you have no idea what conditions the animals were in before they were in the store. I try to avoid them and all my current pets are from the human society and pound.

Send me a note regarding this. This way I will not forget...I can be pretty bad with that sometimes.

That is an awesome froggie!! I had a pacman frog, but he was pretty rude lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah some pacman's can be a little moody/aggressive. But a lot of the times if you can get them to trust you they will not growl or lunge anymore. I have 4 of them and they all are well mannered.

hehe mine liked to head butt..I'd rub his head between his eyes and butt his head into my hand..although definitely lunged at me a few times....I found it cute most of the time.

haha Yea, I could always tell when my pac was hungry cuz he'd usually lunge - or if I'd feed him and go to clean out his "pond" he'd sometimes mistake me I guess lol Never had him get me though! Who knew the dangers of frogs? lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I've had them latch on really good! The worse is when they continue to clamp down...like a vice! What I found is that if you place them...and your poor bleeding finger...on a flat surface and spray water into their mouths that usually makes them let go. It is amazing how such a little frog can cause such a painful bite.

wow!! I've been lucky so far then lol
I always wondered if they had teeth or anything...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They have teeth-like bony protrusions on the top front part of their jaw. This helps them hold onto larger and more difficult prey. Mine are all very docile have only gotten me out of a food response. I actually took one of them out today...a smaller one of course... to try to get a shot of him grabbing my finger. I did everything...gently tapped on his nose, shook my finger in front of his face and he did nothing!

Wow, very interesting!! What would you recommend for someone who has limited space and is "newer" at caring for frogs? I liked my pacman, but he got so huuuge (I had to give him up when we moved, luckily I had a friend who thought he was just the coolest thing ever lmao) and I always thought tree frogs were pretty fun to watch, but at the same time I want something I could eventually handle at any given time. I still have a lot of tanks and stuff out at my mom's, but don't have a ton of room where we're staying now for any of the big ones....
haha That's hilarious!! I find that's with any animal though. Couple weeks ago my kitten was in the cutest sleeping position and I grabbed up the camera, as soon as I had it focused on her, she moved and just started at me....They know lol

If you want a frog that is personable, cute and generally easy to handle I would most definitely got with a White's tree frog.
Oh yeah they definitely know!

They are definitely my favourites at the pet store. I will note you for sure.
lmao Yea, I've definitely had some camera shy animals, it's still adorable though!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Believe it or not one of the shyest animals I have owned was a red-bellied piranha! You'd think with teeth like they have they wouldn't be afraid of anything. But they are actually really shy and it's kind of sad that some people are ignorant about them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, never knew that! They just creep me out lol and I could never feed them mice and shit....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Live food for captive piranhas is actually bad for them. He mostly ate frozen krill, shrimp, frozen cubed fish foods and boiled chicken parts..like the heart and liver. Live fish can be especially bad b/c a lot of the times they are carrying parasites that they can pass on to the piranha.

Ah, good to know, but they still creep me out lol

I'm terrified of spiders so they're out, and for me, something with a poisonous stinger attached to it's a$$ is not for lmao
