Welcome aboard MM and all your fellow froggers My claim to fame in the froggy world is miniscule but I have bred L. Infrafrenata so know a tiny little bit about them

 

[Miss_Magickal]

You wanted to know a little about me...........I am a 28 yr old mum of millions, I work full time at red rooster ( no crap please) Went back to work for the first time in 5 1/2 years in march. I have only just become a member of the Central Coast Frog and Reptile group earlier in the year, I am a St John ambulance volunteer and I was volunteering at the ARP before I started working..........will be going back there soon though.......I am really interested in reptile, the net, bbqs at my house and all my kiddoes, and of course razza..............

Our group is all about teaching kids about reptiles and to have a group of people with a common interest, and had no place to meet and no club.........But we have decided to evolve and join forces with the aussiepythons team..............so here we are...........

we are looking for new blood..............

[eddy]

Well welcome M M nice to meet ya hope to be reading some interesting posts from ya soon

 

[Vat69]

It seems I'm quite behind in the times. I've been a member of the CC Herp group for a few years now (until it recently,and very unfortunetly folded) and I have no idea what you've started here. Were you a part of the administration of the group? Is this some kind of semi-official move for the group? How many ppl from the club have been informed about this?

But we have decided to evolve and join forces with the aussiepythons team..............so here we are...........

Who is "we"?
I've very interested to see how this works out.

 

[instar]

welcome, welcome, im getting some,
l. caerula soon myself, havent kept them for 16 years or so, so ill have to relearn some. P.S Hi Razza !

 

[rodentrancher]

Hi MM, we are in SA, not in your area, but have 4 GTF's which we hope to breed next year. Dave already has the Rain Chamber built. Has to put in the sprinkler(spray) system yet to finish it off. Hopefully we will be successful with the breeding. We are lucky enough to have our own food on hand as we breed crickets, speckled feeder roaches and mealworms as well as the obvious mice n rats. LOL. Cheers Cheryl and Dave

 

[earthmother]

Miss? What is this?

We named it a motorbike, because it sounds like one. lol

 

[Miss_Magickal]

Earthmother...........

I can only assume that it is an amphibian of some sort.......A Cane toad maybe?????


I dont know much about frogs more snakes and lizzies......

Can anyone else help us out??????

 

[moosenoose]

it's definately not a toad. Has strangely got some Green Tree frog about it, even though it isn't one - MY GOD, A HYBRID!!!!! AAArrrrrrggggggggg.....................

 

[ozherpconservation]

I don't really know anything about frogs but to me it looks like a peron's tree frog. Probably the most common frog on the Central coast!

What are the reasons for the group folding? I know Peter is a busy man and everything but couldn't you just get a new president to kick things into shape?

I was an executive commitee member of the group for a few years (until I moved interstate) and I just think its a shame to see it go!

[moosenoose]

Yes I reckon you're right. I had a look and this was all I could find that resembled it.

Peron's Tree Frog Litoria peronii

Great frog site for identification purposes.

[Alexahnder]

The problem with identifying frogs is that you cannot rely on colour or pattern at all. I agree that it is Litoria peronii due to its body shape and thigh colour. L. peronii aren't the most common frog species on the central coast. The most common frog throughout eastern is definatly the Striped Marsh Frog, Limnodastynes peronii. Stripys have addapted to a surburban lifestyle and are somewhat resiliant to chytrid fungas.

All litoria are beautiful frogs, my favourite being Green and Golden Bell Frogs, litoria aurea, which i had the previliage of working with over the past few months.
