    oh my gosh….. unreal….. a frog with ninja turtle mask? truly freaky, matt…. is it real? : )

  • Matt Mawson replied

    Relax, Mimi :-) It’s part green tree frog, part blue-tongue lizard, both gentle creatures. The lizard (“Bluey”) is a pet.

  • Matt Mawson replied

    that’s an impressive pet you’ve got, Patricia Anne. Bob (the ten-year-old who’s holding the frog and who owns the blue-tongue lizard) is a budding herpetologist and would love to meet a 5-foot iguana!

    Patricia Anne ...

    FANTASTIC I am proud of Bob ! IKggys are not the most friendly of lizards, but I tell yolu wnat, KIf Bob can tame one… he can do anything! Mine I have had sense she was 6 inch and she is a HND FULL . after she has sergy for her eggs to be removed and all the parts, she went wild on me again and now she is hard to del with at times but still do able. How ever do NOT ever bring an iggy into your home with out learn what they need and how they are because they can BITE hard and it HURTS like hell.

    But if you are wnting to see one and are in the Bay Ares ikn CA you are welcomed to contact me and meet Mikie! :)

  • Matt Mawson replied

    Thanks Patricia … I’ll pass your invitation on to Bob. He won’t be dropping by soon, though (it’s a 7077 mile / 11389 km trip from here to San Francisco), but it’ll give him something to daydream about!

    hahaha ET frog! lol
    Love it want it wanna keep it under my bed and call him Gerald and feed him flies and all the mozzies I can catch!
    but then under my bed is a world of wonder! Mossy rocks and a cool pond and a waterfall and so many nooks and crannies full of bugs for a Gerald to love! =0þ
    and as soon as you can could you make a Larrynda for him to play with?
    She needs gorgeous platinum blone flowing hair bright red kissable lips and a tiny body with gorgeous long legs
    I will have to make her sunglasses and sequined dresses so she can be the movie star to his directorship doing all the fainting hysterical Blonde damsel in distress simpering heroine scenes ….
    Didn’t I tell you Gerald would be a big wig in movies?
    Couldn’t you picture him with a beret and a cravat and red smoking jacket a cheroot in a long holder and a silver capped cane calling everyone “Daaaaarlink” in a very throaty flat bad Russian accent ..... ok now I’m being silly! lol =0þ
    Chookas! ♥

  • Matt Mawson replied

    LOL … Gerald and Larrynda will probably adopt an African baby and be in all the gossip magazines.

  • adgray

    adgray

    No no no that has beeeeen done daaaaaarling!
    No they’ll create babies and give them to Africa!
    and then when the babies all reach a certain age they’ll start kissing all the people there and give them this new horrendous virus that teached\s them all to sing like mermaids and have unstoppable urges …... oh buggar frogs already do that!
    ok ok I got it
    They’ll develop amazing magician tricks and turn all the people into …. politicians …. ? No no no no no
    they’ll morph into … no done
    I know, they’ll become tycoons and obliterate the monopoly the rich have of the wealth of the world and then we’ll all be equal ….. no, far too noble
    ... um …. um ….
    oh buggar it! Just give them all oozies and let them level the playing field! lol =0þ
    Chookas! ♥

  • Matt Mawson replied

    I always thought they were dangerous … but cute!

  • Matt Mawson replied 27 days ago

    Thanks Wendy … the frog isn’t extraterrestrial, but it’s a long distance traveller. It arrived in Nerang (on the Gold Coast) in a carton of mangoes which had been sent from Charters Towers, well over 1000 km north.
