Field Notes

Description:

Skin coloured tree frog, "changes" colour depending on where it is hiding. It sometimes has black lines on its back and face. Golden eyes. The tadpoles have a white dot on the tip of their nose.

Habitat:

Ha in our toilet! Near jungle and Mangroves, Phuket, Thailand

Notes:

I can not get enough of these! They pop up everywhere, preferable where you least expect it.

Would you like to add this to my Mission Strange Situations, please...i.e., if no one flushed it away!
Muckpuk
Yes I know doreen! It was hilarious. One night it just popped up onto the seat while I was sitting there to. I don't think he liked the "rain" I did not think about checking the pot before sitting down, who would in the middle of the night, but there it was! Nacho I hope you were talking about the frog...?

I hope you have not gone down the toilet lever .

:-) at least she knows what to expect if she likes to hang out there :-D

It would not let you get that far. One time in the middle of the night, I was sitting on the toilet and it jumped from the bowl "into the light ;-) " and landed on the seat. That was a surprise.
The MnMs
I also believe you. I just cannot keep but wonder what would I do, at least I would try not to flush it :-)

I believe you, Muckpuk! We had one that lived in the shower for months. He would eat any insects (gnats, fruit flies, mosquitoes) that gathered there for water when we left doors open!

Marta we don't live there anymore but while we did, there was no way to relocate him, we had an open bathroom in a house in the jungle, anything could choose to live there. We were just all sharing the space respectfully :-)
The MnMs
maybe you can relocate her to a better and safer environment, far from the toilet
Muckpuk
Haha It lived there. It would get out during the day and then at night.......woops it would be there again. :-)
The MnMs
I hope you rescued it from that toilet and of course that you did not out it there :-(
