my mama got home today and she was so excited. she said she got me a present, so then i was excited too. i had no idea what she got me. she said ‘close your eyes and put your hands out’, so i did. and then i felt her put something in my hands. i opened my eyes and
“i saw it and it was chubby and you called a frog ‘big boy’ last night and i had to get it! it’s big boy!”
mama loves that you all think she’s very sweet and she got inspired and went back today and got 2 more to show you all!!
she said “tell the ones that liked big boy thank you and that he has 2 friends now thanks to them!”
Giant tarantulas keep tiny frogs as pets. Insects will eat the burrowing tarantulas’ eggs – so the spiders protect the frogs from predators, and in return the frogs eat the insects. Source
This has blown my mind for years. It’s so unreal. It’s almost the same exact reason humans and cats started living together.
Tiny frogs are tarantula housecats. A science fact seldom gets to sound that much like meaningless word salad.
This is legit, guys. And I’m excited about it.
Someone needs to draw a tarantula person with a tiny pet housefrog now. Please let this be a thing.
its the list we’ve been waiting for *its a meme dont call me out
American toad (Anaxyrus americanus)
that’s my baby Hippolyta!
Pros -chubby orbs -small faces -love to burrow in the dirt Cons -hard to find as pets -sometimes they’re all the way in the soil and you can’t find them -its really hard to find their poops
Pros -look like fruit -always kinda look like they farted really loudly and dont want ppl to know it was them -stance Cons -actually the false tomato frog, true tomato frogs aren’t in pet trade -no one breeds them which makes me so sad -they look like great pillows but theyre frogs and not pillows
Pros -sticky -really have that stereotypical frog shape from cartoons and stuff -it doesnt hurt when they bite Cons -kinda basic and they know it, theyre smug -sometimes bite each other cuz theyre bad at eating food -they dont live in the dirt like other self respecting toads and frogs
Oriental fire belly toad (Bombina orientalis)
its my Sparky son
Pros -semi aquatic -extremely little!! -orange belly Cons -very bad at mating, sometimes drown each other -can’t hold these boys, they jumpy -always try to eat the tongs!!!! its not food!!
Pros -so very big -tenacious -hold him like a baby Cons -heavy -will eat ur shoe if you give it access -you can’t train them to come when called. i just think a recall trained frog would be neat.
Pros -not poisonous in captivity unless u feed em the poison gathering food -very tiny….. -stance!!!!!! Cons -imagine if they were huge. wouldnt that be fucked up or what. -eat rly little foods -come in too many morphs, species ID is going to kill me, dart frogs have killed me.
