Okay... so I am a "common toad".... but I feel a little uncomfortable about the species name. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
The largest toad found commonly in Europe, the Bufo Bufo species can grow up to 20cm in length with a rotund body. Active mostly at night, this toad will walk about slowly, sometimes making short jumps, in search of insects, worms and other invertebrates. This makes it of great help to farmers. At the end of autumn it buries itself in the soil where it remains until good weather arrives again.

Don't feel so bad....................this is me...................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Believed to have been brought to America as stow-aways on banana boats, Cuban Tree Frogs are the largest tree frogs in North America. They are notorious for cannibalism...if there are other species of frogs in the tank, or even specimens of the same species, they have been known to feast on their neighbors!

You are a Pixie Frog
The African bullfrog, or Pixie frog as it is often called (because of it's latin name, not because it's as cute as a fairy!), is one of the largest frogs in South Africa. Usually, they hang out in open grassland, and if there are any to be found, they'll sit around in puddles. When startled, these frogs will blow up like balloons to scare away the intruder! In the dry season, they will burrow into the ground. These guys eat lots and lots of really big bugs, fish, mice, lizards, and even other frogs.
(I have no further comment at this time)

Dendrobates like to live in warm humid habitats. While most small colorful frogs are poisonous in the wild, they tend to lose a lot, if not all, of their toxicity when bred in captivity. This is largly due to the lack of the variety they would normally get in their diet in the wild. They eat small insects such as fruit flies, newborn crickets, and meadow plankton.

Woohoo I got a different froggy
These little frogs are grass-green colored, usually with a creamy colored line running from the jaw along the flanks. Males make a really loud noise thats a bit like quacking, which is sometimes known as a "rain call" because they tend to make a lot of noise before rains, but which can also be stimulated by external noises. They eat an assortment of bugs including crickets, moths, and flies
Flies! This is too weird, how did it know that I like flies?! Mmhhmm..maggoty goodness

RE: What kind of frog are you..............?.........:)
Commonly found throughout Puerto Rico, the coquí name comes from the song that the male of the species is often heard singing in the forest. What it seems to say is: "cokeé, cokeé. The coquíes begin to sing when the sun goes down at dusk. Their melody serenades islanders to sleep. Coquíes sing all night long until dawn when they stop singing and head for the nest.

OMG, It's so ME! Smiling and loves to eat! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
I'm a White's Tree Frog:
Also known as the Smiling Tree Frog or Dumpy Tree Frog due to the nature of its appearance, this frog is a very hardy creature and a favorite pet of amateur frog owners, although some pet owners complain that they are not active enough. These frogs love to eat, which can make them quite fat, hence their "dumpy" appearance. Unlike many frogs, these frogs do well with other frogs of their species and are fairly friendly. They like a warm and moderately humid habitat and eat larger insects like crickets, cockroaches, locusts, moths and beetles.

Budgett's Frog:
So ugly, it's cute! Budgett's Frogs, named after the explorer who discovered them, are large carnivorous South American frogs. They can grow to be 5 and a a half inches in size, but since they aren't very active they can be kept in a small 10 gallon aquarium. Their tank should be kept around 86*F and they cannot be housed with other animals because they will try to eat anything that moves!
