another of the first frog or one like it
What Are You Growing to Attract Wildlife?
I don't know my Texas herps so I'm out on the first baby but it's so tiny I keep thinking a Chirping Frog of some sort. Sorry, I can't see the toes all that well. On the second baby maybe a Narrowmouth? Possibly Gastrophryne olivacea?
The baby babies are super tiny - but they are also fast and difficult to get a focus on them before they are gone. So, I don't have any pics of them yet. I need a new lens for good close ups. That last pic was my DS hands - he is 8 and not all that big.
These guys, after we caught them, would sit still for a little bit - sometimes played dead.
Here is a skink my DS caught. He played dead rather well. He let him go where he caught him.
That last guy is a ground skink - looked up on enature.com
Back to the original thread subject....In the last couple of weeks I have seen three garter snakes in different parts of my yard. I noticed that they all have been near a bed of hardy geranium (different beds. I guess it could be the same snake if it gets around a lot). I didn't plant the geranium for wildlife necessarily, but am glad it's getting some use! I know frogs live in it, too, but choose not to think about them in the same thought as the snakes. Surely snakes also eat slugs and other things I don't like!?!
