Given that frog eggs are fertilized externally. It might not be impossible for such matings to result in a clutch with multiple fathers.

Caught one of the male Solomon Island Leaf Frogs perched right beneath the enclosure lid. This particular spot seems to be a favorite.

All this is to say. When you think you know everything there is to know about a subject. Odds are something you missed is right around the corner.

So much leaf litter makes it easy to lose track of where the frogs are. But seeing them engaged in natural behavior will always be worth that price.

Remember that 'cover' doesn't always have to mean places for an animal to hide. It can also be 'clutter' that helps the animal feel less exposed.

However, said wild caught male also has yet to successfully mate with any female I've provided him. So its hard to say whether his louder call has to do with his origins. Or if he has simply decided to up the ante on his efforts.

He also sports facial markings typical of wild-type leaf frogs. Perhaps any froglets he produces might provide some insight on his parentage.

There's a frog in this photo, can you see him? (No, I don't mean the waving frog graphic on the text box).

Baby leaf frogs are growing well. They're taking a look at the bin adjacent to theirs- wonder what they see in there?

Much progress has been made on the renovated leaf frog vivarium. The soil is in and the plants are well, planted. Very eager to show you all, but it's not quite ready yet. For now, this frog will stare at you.

They may look oddly tall now, but that's only because the soil isn't in yet!

I'd show you them in their new home, but the froglets are still so little that they simply vanished into the leaf litter. So have this shot of them in the transport cup instead.

That said, what happened was still an upsetting loss, and the frog room is a lot quieter without Nerves around.

itty bitty freckles on the backs of these half-inch animals. Neither Tubba nor Nerves have freckles- but Slick does. Which means he's the father of these little ones.

They are leaf shaped, leaf colored, and spend much of their day hiding among leaves.
No doubt they're at their most content with easy access to them.

It also serves as a reminder- never underestimate how far a startled animal can dart!

Time to feed the Leaf Froglets!

Even at a few months old, they're still so small that fruit flies are the food of choice. Though it can't always be said that their reaction to being presented with them is immediate...

Froglets from a union between Slick and Tubba had varying amounts of freckling. Some were almost as freckled as their father, and others were only light peppered.

on that note, Happy New Years eve! This is an old photo, I do not presently have any frog eggs incubating.

In my experience this is a plant that for its first several months will grow very slowly (or not at all), and then take off dramatically once established.
