Well this is whats in my FL garden, or at least a pot on my patio. It is, or course, a huge cuban tree frog. Biggest I have ever had. I usually freeze them, but this one is just to big for me to do that. What really got me, is the frog on its back. They are not mating...thats for the spring, this smaller frog ( the male) is just always on the bigger frogs back. Ive tried to catch them in the pool too.
Does anyone know anything about this piggy back behavior? I wish a snake would just eat it. If you enlarge either of the last two pictures, you can see the other frog.
I was reading that in the jungles, these frogs lay eggs in foam nest that hang over the river, when it rains, the foam gets soft and and the eggs fall to the river. Its really kinda interesting that this one is on a foam block in a planter. Im afraid it isnt going to melt tho. Blinking
