ohmigod!! take a picture!!

she could...

got to pet it earlier. It feels like rubber!

it amazes me how frogs think staying still whilst being poked is a survival strategy...

that is soooo cool ... i love frogs. i saw one ages ago on the pavement but never a tree frog

worried that it was dead, but it's definitely breathing.

are you going to keep it as a pet?

used to keep a pair of ACFs.

this frog wouldn't appreciate being captive.

i think we only get common ones over here - i've only ever seen them. lots, and lots - there's a pond in my parent's garden the fogs love

if you stroked him and fed him i think he would be happy

how you hold the fly still...

you'd have to get dead ones from a pet shop

could get dead flies without a pet shop.

there's bloody loads here - perhaps you could lend me the frog to get rid of a few...

more than willing to lend sparx104 her spiders...

trying to find a visual frog-identification guide.

ooh, i'd rather have the flies than the spiders - flies don't hide and jump out on you

Scroll down to "Green Tree Frog" for photo.

Fly bites don't result in months of wound cleaning, either.

spider bites don't either, not here at least

oh that is sooo cooool!

Two words: brown recluse

i'm so not clicking on that,

i remember that discussion...

Two more: black widow

there have been cases of them turning up here in fruit shipments

i've heard those stories, my gran's friend found a tarantula in a bunch of bananas in sainsbury's

that's why you should always pull the bunches apart before you buy them

found a spider in her apples the other day.

threw away the apple it was on, 'cause she couldn't have eaten it without thinking horrible thoughts.

i shall never buy fruit again

tarantulas are common just a bit south of here.
