- I absolutely love frogs! Look at Chunky Monkey here.
This is actually a female African bullfrog.
I tell you what, that is one cool little animal.
And of course we have a lot of frogs and toads here.
This is actually Al, the Suriname marine toad, or cane toad.
Look at the size of this thing!
I mean, it's literally as big as my head.
Absolutely love amphibians!
And you can never have too many frogs!
Look at this. This is actually the Notorious F.R.O.G.,
which is an apricot Argentine horn frog. Absolutely cute.
I mean, that's the thing that's amazing about frogs,
is each one is so different. They require different care.
They look different, they're amazing.
And by the way, because I need more frogs.
I'm about to unbox a bunch of new frog, that is right.
So let's go ahead and roll that unbox reel.
And that's right, let's just go ahead
and jump right into this.
I'm always excited when I'm getting new animals,
you know that. It's so amazing to have The Reptarium
for that specific reason, because we can get all kinds
of cool new stuff that people will love.
And I know I love it too.
So let's go ahead and see what we've got going on.
By the way, these are actually from a friend of mine
that picked these up from a friend of his,
that breeds these animals.
My buddy's name is Matt Veronic and he sent me these,
obviously. He also does some photography.
He says one of these days you'll have one of these.
Komodo dragon, we got obviously
a little alligator snapping turtle, a monitor here,
got a beautiful viper, got some poison dart frogs,
and I'm not sure exactly what that is
but that's pretty cool, it's very colorful, whatever it is.
So thank you Matt, for sending me photography
because I can now frame those and hang them on the walls.
Let's get to unboxing these little critters here.
Let's see what we have. And oh, doggie!
These things are cute! Oh my god, they're so big too!
I didn't know they were going to be so big.
So of course, these are some beautiful -
Oh my goodness! Look at that.
Oh, I mean, they are such crazy looking animals.
These of course are Vietnamese mossy frogs.
That's right, these guys obviously come from Vietnam.
They could also come from areas of China.
They're very threatened right now because
of deforestation not to mention chytrid virus,
it's something that's really terrible.
Basically, amphibians are a barometer
to the things of the climate, right?
So when things are going bad, it just peed on me!
It was projectile pee! What do you do?
Whoa! Geez-o-Pete! I like this frog already.
This is like, whoa! Woo-hoo-hoo!
I tell you what, this is a feisty little one.
It's all over the place.
And just look at the camouflage on these!
Again, these guys are going to come from like, you know,
forest areas where there's a lot of heavily mossy things.
And I'm tell you what this thing under moss
you would definitely not see it - whoa!
And I tell you, this is absolutely,
I'm gonna put this little monkey away
and show you another one that I got.
And this one is actually even a little bit larger.
Now females can get up to like three,
three and a half inches.
Males typically stay about two, two and a half inches.
So it's just incredible. I mean, if you could see the eyes,
even, on these guys are like really heavily camouflaged.
I mean, these are legitimately animals that are
unbelievably camouflaged in the wild.
If you're walking around a forest,
there's no way you would see that.
And that's their defense mechanism,
is they'll kind of curl up really tight
so they look like a ball of moss.
What cool animals! I am so excited to have these now.
Boom, there it went! Goodbye. (laughs)
I tell you what, these things are absolutely incredible.
So let's go ahead and get these things set up.
And of course, this is going to be
our mossy frog display here. Really cool.
You know, running water is really good for them,
because they do love to be in the water,
and they love to be in the streams.
And then they can hide all up in here and look all mossy.
You know, they have all kinds of terracing.
We actually have six mossy frogs to release.
So this is going to be absolutely amazing.
I love releasing these guys.
And again, you know, I'm sure this is like a really nice,
naturalistic environment for them,
which they may not be used to,
which is going to be pretty cool.
It's just - whoa!
So, here we go, little buddy!
And you'll see how they'll just kind of disappear in there,
and I tell you it's going to be quite the guessing game
to have someone try to find all six of these guys,
it's going to be almost impossible.
And these are so gorgeous. It's so weird how they all -
Look at them! They are little hoppy monkeys too.
They are so absolutely adorable.
So we're just going to keep on releasing them.
This one's nice and bright. Come on buddy, go ahead!
You can see, as they get in here they just kind of disappear
right into the backdrop.
I mean, I'm sure most people are going to look
at this and go, what's in here? There's nothing in here.
So we're going to probably have to put a sign
or something that says like six mossy frogs.
Can you find all six of them?
This little guy right up here, let him jump.
Oh (laughs) little monkey.
This one's one of the biggest ones right here,
which again, probably is a good chance it's a female.
'Cause the females get much larger than the males.
Unbelievably beautiful. There we go, bud.
All the way up here. There you go.
I tell you what, this is amazing.
Again, we needed some amphibians to add, you know,
we already have a bunch, but we definitely needed more.
And when we do the 3.0 expansion,
definitely gonna add even more amphibians.
There's no doubt about it. Oh wow, these things are cool.
So that's all six of them there.
Wow. That's incredible.
You guys didn't think I just got mossy frogs, did you?
The fact is we have another unboxing
we're gonna do later on, but for first,
we have to set up the enclosure for them,
so let's go get Jessica.
- We're getting a new animal today,
so we're going to redo this cage.
I like the way it's set up,
but like I've gotta trim a lot of this down here,
clean out the water and everything,
and give it a good revamp. So here we go.
- Jessica, I think you're doing a great job. You are.
I wish that I had your, you just said shut up.
I wish that I had your cage-building skills, honestly.
- Oh yeah? - Yeah.
- And again, more frogs to unbox. Roll that unboxing reel!
Like I've always mentioned,
the only thing that's better than unboxing frogs,
is unboxing more frogs. And I'm pretty excited about this.
Of course, the first one's done,
we've worked with mossy frogs before
but I've never worked with these ones, and oh!
Oh my gosh! These things are so cool. Wow!
Oh my, you guys are going to love these things.
These things are dope as could be.
Take a look at these little monkeys right here.
These are actually Amazonian milk frogs
and they are unbelievable.
They're a pretty large species of tree frog.
They can get up to four inches typically
between two and a half and four inches.
But just look at the color, and again, they're Amazonian.
So these guys come from South America.
Obviously the thing with these guys, they get pretty big.
So you don't want to put too many in a space.
You want them to have lots of room,
and just like the mossy frogs, these guys are insectivores.
They're gonna eat pretty much any kind of bug
and stuff like that, and I've always loved the milk frogs.
I mean, they are absolutely ridiculous.
Just the contrast and the color.
And we've got a bunch of these.
Look at these guys right here,
I'm going to go ahead and show you another one.
And you can see kind of the difference
of the contrast just a little bit here,
but it's almost like they're painted.
I mean, look at those cute faces.
Oh, and look at this. Wow, this is really interesting!
This one has jet black eyes,
and this one has gold eyes with a black pupil.
I don't even know why that is that way,
but that is absolutely incredible. Again,
I am no amphibian expert, all I know is
that they're absolutely gorgeous and beautiful,
and I cannot wait to see these guys
get into that enclosure because, oh my god, it's cool!
Again, we have a handful of frogs here already,
and they're always super popular when people come.
So to add a couple more species,
it's going to be pretty darn cool.
Wow. Amazonian milk frogs. How incredible is that?
Wow! And again, we ended up getting two pair
of these guys and we ended up six of the mossy frogs.
So wow, what an absolutely amazing day!
It's been 70 or 75 degrees here in Michigan.
Today, we got snow. I said it'd be nice to live in Michigan.
And again, Jessica did an amazing job.
I mean, look at how incredible that enclosure is,
and these frogs are gonna look so cool here.
What a great addition to The Reptarium!
Okay, so we just got to learn how to open and talk,
that's the hard part. Literally. It doesn't open.
I figured it out. Okay. All right.
Let's see - Woo, woo, woo, come on monkey!
Here we go. Look at that. Oh my goodness!
That looks incredible!
Oh my God, my heart is just on fire right now.
I love seeing this type of thing.
And that's what's so cool, right?
It's just getting new animals,
knowing that they're going to do so well,
having an environment that's going to be great for them,
and then knowing all the people
that are going to come to The Reptarium
and be absolutely blown away by them.
You know, the truth is, is that, you know,
obviously we're The Reptarium, right?
And these are definitely an amphibian, but the truth is,
is that it's kind of all in the same family, right?
And so many people love frogs and toads.
And the other things, like I said
we've talked about adding some more amphibians,
maybe like some axolotls and stuff like that,
but look at how fricking cool that is.
Are you kidding me? I mean, look at that.
That is amazing, man. Oh my gosh. So there it is,
you know, amphibian unboxing day here at The Reptarium.
All right, so I've got something from the PO box.
It's in a giant box.
And literally, I don't know if I should -
- Do you think it's empty?
- It seriously feels empty.
- [Woman] How funny would that be?
- Somebody sent a box with nothing in it.
No, there's something in it,
but I just don't think it weighs very much.
So I think it's going to be a really cool
stuffed animal sloth, that's what I'm hoping for.
Oh my gosh! - [Woman] Oh lord.
- [Man] I got him! - [Woman Gosh.
- [Man] Oh, it's a huge one, too! Oh my gosh!
That is the best! Give it a kiss.
- That's great, that's just great.
- I love it. I'm going to call it Homer. (laughs)
- From David, Keith and Kenny.
- Oh my gosh. - And our friend Lena.
- I was walking through the store the other day,
came across the sloth after looking at us like,
hey, it looks like Drogo! You know, who would love this?
Brian? So he picked it up and sent this.
Thank you guys so much. This is the best sloth ever.
I'm going to have this on our bed. Look it's loving me.
Oh my God. Thank you guys, that's awesome.
It's the rare amphibian blog, there's no doubt about that,
a lot of amphibians today, but hey, I absolutely love them.
I used to spend my summers looking for snakes,
and frogs, and toads, so I've always loved the things,
and these White's tree frogs are super cool.
Look at that little cute face right there!
They're amazing, so I was so happy now
that we have some mossy's back on display,
and now we have the milk frogs. How incredible is that?
