my love and admiration for tomato frogs knows no bounds! they are native to Madagascar and are big time tropical cuties who get their name from their orange and red coloring and round bodies making them look like tomatoes <3

they have epic defense mechanisms - they have pockets on either side of their body they can swell up making them appear larger and more threatening (bottom left pic)

they also secrete a toxic white fluid from their skin that can numb and/or paralyze the mouth of a predator trying to snack (badass)

I’ve owned several tomato frogs over the years and can say they make a very characteristic little pets. I currently have one female I’ve had for about two years named Brandy and she squeaks angrily when she’s moody 🍅

another frog for your consideration-the Vietnamese mossy frog ★

Native to Vietnamese, these babes can be found in mossy caves and around the banks of rocky mountain streams!

when mossy frogs are scared they’ll roll into a ball and play dead and I think about that a lot

I’m a huge fan of frogs, but one of my favorites has to be the glass frog !!

given its name by its transparent glass-like underside, they are very small (between 3/4 of an inch to 1+1/2 inches in length) and very perfect :3
