Thank you Byrd! Did not post for ego, posted cause every time a new critter comes along it's such a very cool thing to have to learn about them. Like everyone else I take Frogs for granted. They're out there, that's nice, I had no real clue about specifics, or local species. Kinda shameful.
When releasing the baby snappers there was one who kept turning around & toddling right back towards me. NOES!!!! I adore turtles but snappers get huge an I absolutely cannot justify walking past my cats with a whole chicken for the turtle.
The Frog has been enjoying it's Airbnb stay. It's been rearranging the tank, using the rock/cave thing an it's color is back & looking healthy. One more "feed & poop" an she's ready for release.
The running joke now is "all bets are on the next workplace find is going to be a copperhead". Talk about grown men screaming like little girls! 25 guys an me yet nobody can manage to bend over & pick up a reptile or amphibian. They barely survived me herding a wolf spider back outside. Pretty sure I could leave their tough-guy gun toting butts in a county park an it'd be 50/50 they'd make it back to their vehicles. I just cannot fathom it.
The most hilarious thing was the guys were smack talking & calling one of our shippers "crazy".
I was at the time clock to punch out for lunch with a Frog in my pocket. Called the shipper over to show him as we discussed "maybe the guys need to google the definition of crazy?" Cause the Shipper isn't even close to that bar!!! The only concern he had was "That isn't the pocket you keep the ibuprofen in is it??!!" Yeah...no. Duh!!!
