As I’ve mentioned before, for a long time I didn’t think I was much of an ‘amphibian person.’ Then I got my first axolotl, Bubbles, after wanting axolotls for awhile but living, for many years, in a state where they were not legal. Bubbles really kicked off my interest in keeping amphibians and in late 2023 I took in a small group of White’s tree frogs from a breeder with the intentions that I was only going to raise them up until they were old enough to tell if they were males or females. And here we are. Yes, I kept some. Who didn’t see that coming?

Chihiro, Chi for short, is supposed to be a snowflake blue eyed honey White’s tree frog. I say is supposed to be, because so far she doesn’t have the pretty yellow coloring that some honey morph tree frogs seem to have. Instead her coloration seems to vary between a very pretty slate/sage green and brown. Apparently some honey colored tree frogs develop more of a yellow coloration as they age, so we’ll see. Either way, of course, Chihiro is beautiful. She’s a little beast, to be honest, and out of all my pets is, by far, the one who bites me the most often. Bite is putting it mildly, she downright tries to eat me. I hold a firm belief that if frogs were giant, they’d be the most dangerous animals around!

Sen is Chihiro’s sister. Like Chihiro, she is a snowflake blue eyed honey White’s tree frog. I tell Sen and Chihiro apart because Sen has more snowflakes, including an adorable little spot on her face. Sen has a really cute personality, and is quite vocal for a female frog. Go figure, because the reason I decided to keep all females in the first place was because I wanted quieter frogs! She doesn’t call the way that a male frog would, but she very commonly croaks a few times when she sees people near the frog enclosure. She’s just a talkative little lady, I suppose, which is adorable.
