So I’m watching North Woods Law, and they’re on mountain looking for lost people (lost people are fine, just lost), wading through the intermittent areas of snow, and there’s just
a frog??
Looks like a grass frog, maybe, just standing in the snow. Looks fine, looks active. Evidently it lives up there.
This little cuban tree frog [Osteopilus septentrionalis] probably thought he was the luckiest frog ever when he spotted this female pig frog [Rana grylio] on her way to the breeding pond. Maybe this is harsh but I don’t think its going to work out. Image by Jake Scott
Keeping tree frogs means getting startled in the middle of the night by an occasional loud, wet SPLAT! as your frog flings her belly at the glass of her terrarium and squelches around on it.

Summer is upon us folks, and this year’s looking to be a real scorcher. This Bushveld rain frog [Breviceps adspersus] wants to remind you to all stay cool this season. It’s okay to use your hind legs to dig a little hole in the moist soil to sit in. It’s not weird! In fact it’s great exercise, helping to give you magnificent glutes and hammies while the rest of your body remains a perfect sphere.
I have an idea for how to accomplish FTL travel: we somehow harness the terrifying d incomprehensible speed and power with which my dumpy tree frogs lunge for their meals. There is no reason why an organic being should be able to move that fast! It’s either superspeed or teleportation.
I see your frogs and raise you crested geckos.
I am convinced that they are some form of supersonic hobgoblin.
