Hah Argybee, this frog is good-looking AND can macrame with the best of them!!! (Seriously, I think the blue stuff is actually spiderwebs or something that got stuck to him while he was hopping along the porch.)

Not surprised they melt in Qld... I spent a summer there and melted once... never again! :) Fabulous frog btw. What's the blue stuff? Knitting?

I'd visit Queensland just to see these - i am glad you got one of the "melting" ones :)
ShannaB
Hahaha, I think this one was just a prize-looking specimen... the one we got today looks kind of melted.

Great shot Shanna ! - I love these "dopey" frogs -the ones I found (always on the toilet seat) seemed to have sort of melting sides of the head - the green was stretched out and sagging - they looked forlorn. Yours look like they've been spending a lot more time at the gym !! ...or are mine a different kind?
ShannaB
Thanks Mike! We've just taken one of these guys into care today... I'm busting to photograph him but he's very shy and has an injured eye, so I don't want to disturb him at the moment. I will have to be patient!
