I rescued these lil fire bellied toads from a friend who wasn’t able to take care of them anymore today:

After some tank cleaning, and water changing and feeding they seem to have calmed back down. The kitty has sure taken an interest in them – though it seems that she is more keen on the surviving minnows in the tank ^^;

Hopefully in the next few days I’ll manage to get some rearranging done to keep them all happy~ I’m super excited though. They are really cute :D

Other than that, I’ve got a bunch of photos that I am slowly working through from the summer here. With any luck I’ll have something to show in a week or so. It’s been a very busy, crazy summer for me this year.

Xerxes is his name – he’s a killer green anole and prefers to be alone from other lizards (whom he will fight to the death with), but he is really so super cute and nice and awesome!

He was super stressed from the moving and everything, but after a few hours of settling in and finding him a good place he sure found his color again!

There is certainly going to be many more photos of this guy! He’s already showing off his dewlap to everyone and seems to have scared the cat with it too.

I am so excited to have him and so happy to be able to take care of him! :D

Oh and regarding the photos – they were taken with Marilyn’s old Tamron 80-210mm F/3.8-4 Model 103A. It only works in manual, which is really forcing me to be sharp with estimating available light and exposure. Its been really fun to use lately and I have a number of other photos that I’ve taken in the past week with it.
