Usually my new frogs launch at night but this newly minted female I am calling Big foot stepped out this afternoon. #frogs #FroggyTales
They are still going from #tadpoles to #frogs. How small are they? The finger in the photo is my thumb and I have slender fingers. Pacific Chorus Frogs (aka tree frogs). #FroggyTales I have named this one Thor. Everyone has similar but distinct markings.
Latest photos of "Ghost" he's growing but still no back legs. #frogs #FroggyTales. Albino chorus frog.
There are SIX almost #frogs in this photo. Can you find them all? #FroggyTales We have raised about 125 so far this year in a 18" bowl. They go through 2 leaves of lettuce a day.
#FroggyTales #Frogs mommy can't see me. Like cats, frogs think if they can't see yoy---you can't see them. This one has just a hint of a tail left. It reminds me of the bat signal #batman
Newly minted frog hasn't quite lost his tail yet. #frogs #froggyTales Pacific chorus frogs. Still about 50 to go still tadpoles. It's wirk keepi g them cool. It was 103F yesterday.
#FroggyTales a newly minted almost frog and my albino tadpole "ghost" in the background. There's at least 50-70 more to go... #frogs
#frogs #FroggyTales i have has tadpoles since Februaru. Here is a very small newly minted Pacific Chorus Frog. About 1/4"
#FroggyTales #frogs Ghost is growing nicely. You can see how different an albino Chorus frog looks compared to his mates.
#FroggyTales closeup of Pacific Chorus Frog singing. It would not let me attach with video. #frogs check out hastag to listen to video and hear.
#FroggyTales continues... I joined one of my frogs in his serenade last night and recorded for you. Me first he answers and so forth. Pacific chorus frog. #frogs #nature #earthday. For about 7 years I have had frogs lay their spawn in my 18" bowl. We can all make a difference.

Size comparison fully grown versus newly minted Pacific chous frog. #FroggyTales #frogs #nature. Full grown on left about 3/4" vs newly launched on right.
#FroggyTales #Frogs. Singing again I turned on the light and there is one full grown frog but saw at least 5 newly minted ones. Different sizes. The ring is a size 6. Pacific choral frogs at night. #nature. Check out the Froggy Tales hashtag for progession.
#FroggyTales there are two nearly frogs in this photo. Plus a lot of frog eggs laid last night. I heard them singing. So this is both ends of the froggy spectrum. Pacific choral frogs. #frogs #nature
It's been awhile since I posted in #FroggyTales but the 70+ tadpoles in my 18" diameter bowl are growing nicley. A couple are just days away from launching as newly metamorphised frogs. #Frogs #nature #backyardwildlife pacific choral frogs. The last photo shows an almost frog! These are small. About 1/4 -3/8"

#FroggyTales For the first time in 6 years no frogs deposted frog eggs in our bowl. Not to be dissuaded my grand daughter and I rescued about 75 from a drainage ditch nearby that dried up 3 days later. Its been a couple of weeks and they are thriving. Will see how they do. #frogs #nature @gardening
My grandkids named Heart. I had no idea this would be a forever commitment. I end up tending the tadpoles for months. You can tell Hearts progeny. Often have similar markings. #FroggyTales
#frogstodon #frogs #FroggyTales about 5 years ago we rescued sone Pacific Choral Tree frogs from a nearby ditch before it dried up and since then they and their progeny have courted, mated & left their spawn in our 18" bowl. I heard them calling & found 3 in the bowl. 2 in an 'embrace' Heart is the male atop Big Mama. The 3rd was not identified. Stay tuned to watch the progress. Look close at the first to see all 3. Ingle frog hard to see.

#frogs #frogstodon #FroggyTales for the past 5 years we have Pacific Tree forgs courting, mating and leaving their spawn in our 18" bowl. They are the descendants of tadpoles rescued from a nearby ditch. I heard their singing. Imagine my surprise to see 3 frogs in the bowl. Looks like Heart atop Big Mama. Folliw along as you watch eggs, spawn tadpoles and hopefully a few frogs make it to maturity. Cycle of life.
