All About the Frog
Hello internet!! I am a biology major with an interest in herpetology (obviously) as well as art, games, and coding. I made this site as a way to compile my interests into one space. I like to yap :P check out my blogs in the sidebar link. The frog zone will contain all things frog related, many wonders await.
Pronouns: he/they
You can call me Froggy!🐸
I've uploaded the barebones version of my portfolio page! Finally all the links are working again. Lightbox is confusing me so for the time being you can't click to enlarge anything, but we're getting there!

While most commonly bright red with blue limbs, these beautiful frogs can be green, yellow, blue, orange, or white with black mottling. Strawberry dart frogs actually have over 100 color variations. These frogs are the most toxic member of their genus; their skin secretes the poison, making them dangerous even to the touch. Their natural habitat ranges through Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The high toxicity of their skin actually comes from eating specific species of ants and mites, meaning captive-bred frogs are completely harmless. Strawberry dart frogs have a unique parental care pattern; males guard the fertilized eggs, and females carry the tadpoles on her back to a nearby water source. Making a home among the leaf litter, the frogs are mostly active during the day and climb trees for safety. The IUCN lists them as least concern though they are threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and exotic pet trades.
Here is a video from National Geographic demonstrating their parental care behaviors!
