Good Luck, and i hope you find the little frog -kristin ~!!I lOve LiFe!!~

Must've found a really good hiding place in that tank ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Escape artists, they are....lost about 14 of them from one tank between 1975-1979...found them all in a weird little 'mummified frog secret burial ground' behind an adjacent bookshelf when I moved....it was strange that they all ended up within 10" of each other.
