Potato-like frogges
Cool to see the way you search for the different species! I like how you also are respectful/mindful of not keeping them too long/keeping them out of the sun. You did a great job highlighting some of the reptiles that often get overlooked. Great photos as well!

Cheers Gabe, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching! New video is out this week too.
I love the rain frogs. They are so darn cute! Lil potatoes 🥔. What do they eat and drink? It looks so dry there. I wonder how they are making out in this hot weather that the planet has had lately 🤔 I hope all the little critters you showed are going to be okay. Anyways, I just found your channel and subscribed. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Take care 🙂

you’d be amazed how many you find when you’re actually looking for them. i had never seen any frogs around my house without going out of my way, but tonight i did some herping around my abandoned pool and found 5 different species amounting to hundreds of frogs. really cool!
Where did you go
Nice long video! Such cool finds as well, I am so jealous of that H. lacteus

Where in the west cost is this?
Very nice finds. I was told that Namaqualand has no frogs at all. Is it only this species of rain frog? To me the rain frogs look more like happy little blobs and quite helpless on land, not this angry meme that has been distributed everywhere. Does the trash impact the tortoises? I mean they are trying to chew and swallow everything, most probably they eat things they shouldn’t there. And how cold were you speaking of? If tortoises are active, it must not be very cold in the day. Scelotes I always look quite metallic, whereas other skinks are more earthy. Also, what do you mean by mole hill? Do you have actual golden moles there? I know that they are very unique and ancient mammals and I would like to see them.

Namaqualand certainly isn’t not rich I. Amphibians but there are several species to be found. The morning it was cold being winter probably 14 degrees Celsius but as the sun comes higher it warms quickly. The moles are usually cape mole rats they make the sand mounds from their burrows where the Scelotes live.

@@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica okay, so they are true rodents and not insectivorous moles. 14° could be fall in my region. Still a lot of reptiles come out if it is 14 only in the morning.
I love your content.❤️🔥. The most common reptile I find here in port elizabeth. Is the southern rock agama. Havent seen a snake in about a year.

I’m so sad that desert frogs or black rain frogs can’t be shipped to ny Because the sellers who breed them and sold them don’t have shipping😅
Hi I'm from South Africa and I want to get a pet frog. Can anyone maybe help me with the law around keeping pet frogs and what frogs are legal to keep as a pet?🌻

Frogs aren’t legal to keep in South Africa in most provinces.
Oh no, thousands of wealthy kids want them! Cripes, people do not "get" how hard it is to maintain them properly. Like the turtles from the 70's, they will be discarded, or killed through overeager parents wanting to appease, but not TEACH their children:( please do not buy these little cuties. You don't have the time, and your kid doesn't have the interest)..that is exactly how I adopted Clemmy...$5k and 12 years later she is dinner plate sized and can NEVER be released as red-eared sliders will kill all the spotted and box turtles they come across. Yes, I could have gotten off cheaper, but 2k was an aquarium with built-in haul out, 600 for a filter to clean massive amounts of water, oh, and $700 for a herp-trained vet, when I LET her get sick...

Good thing they're illegal to keep here locally and illegal to export but unfortunately few to get smuggled out.
