My mrs is on it I was going to join on the quiet so I could give her a slap in the face with a custard pie without the comebacks hee heeeee.

Frilled dragons are quite popular over here, they're husbandry is like a Beardie but a little harder to tame, I was tempted until I saw Blue through the window of the viv below, the rest is history so to speak.

Yep. That's me too.. being a teacher, I can't have crap on those sites because employers DO look at them.

And I gave up myspace because its so freaking commercial. Facebook doesn't have many ads.

Tee-hee! Trikks is finally out wandering the tank again! He's been hiding for a week now. I love seeing him out and looking alive. Too cute. Pryce is also out basking, half on and hanging off his rock -.-' I love these guys. Now if Wocket shows up it'll be a real party!

Oh, and I know this is technically On Topic, but I'm too lazy to start a thread until I upload the pics from my camera.

... And there he goes. Ah well, I still have Pryce. Lazy bum.

EDIT: He's baaaacccckkk!

I cut off my hair today. It was about halfway down my back and now it's just above my chin. It's a little bit shorter then my member picture.

I'm getting a fire-bellied toad tomorrow! I've been wanting to try an amphibian and I found a freebie with a tank. I know they aren't cuddley little buggers but I think they are pretty and they are a bit more entertaining than some other toads/frogs. Anyone who has experience or advice can PM me if they have any suggestions. I've googled caresheets and interrogated a neighbor with one but I know many of you have probably had these.

I've wanted to get a Pacman or a Pyxie frog.. I love stuff that eats mice, especially when the mouse is like half its size.

When I was little, my dad bought us a pacman frog but we had to keep it outside so my mom wouldn't find out. It was the middle of summer and when we went out the next day he was shrivilled up. Just thought I'd share.

I use to have firebelly toads in my class in DC and was thinking about getting some more for my classroom. I love them!!!!

How are they to keep? Pretty easy? How often do they eat?

Extremely easy to keep.


Depends what they eat, my pacman is still small and on insects, so several times a week, but my pixie is on mice, so one every few weeks.

Do you have to change water often, etc?

Pacmans are very easy keepers imo. They get huge though and have to be housed seperatly. I had my pacman through college, he would eat ANYTHING that moved, he even went after my great danes tail once.

I think huge is relative lol...

Pixies get huge, pacmans get big.


Yea, you have to replace the water pretty often, they poop in it a lot.
