slut rights!

Cuban Tree Frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis)

promote physical health (walky!)

promote mental health (fun!)

extremely cute to watch them toddle about in there

they love to sleep squished under them

apparently promotes healthy bowel movement (prepare for poopy wheel)

genuinely i know it looks silly and weird but it changed my leos life they use 2-4h a day just calmly walking

it reduced them scrabbling at the glass doors

my friend who has a disabled leo got him one and he is now moving so much more, which is good for his legs (muscles being built)

it's really cute

wheels should be at least 20cm diameter and solid, the wooden ones are great for grip and safety

Red Pumpkin Toadlet (Brachycephalus pitanga), family Brachycephalidae, endemic to Atlantic Rainforest in Sao Paolo State, SE Brazil

Comparison with termites and rhinocerous beetle (Enema sp.)

Poisonous.

As with other Brachycephalus sp., they lay a few eggs in moist terrestrial locations, and the young live as tadpoles in the eggs, and then hatch out as froglets.

Adults reach a max. snout vent length of up to 14 mm (0.55 in).

They are actually unable to hear their own advertisement calls, as their ears are underdeveloped.

They also do not hop, but instead slowly crawl across the forest floor.

Rainbow Leaf Beetle (Spilopyra sumptuosa), family Chrysomelidae, SE QLD, Australia

A giant ichneumon wasp (Megarhyssa macrurus) uses her extremely long ovipositor to drill into a dead maple tree. Megarhyssa includes species with the longest ovipositors of any insect (up to 11 cm in M. macrurus and up to 14 cm in its cousin M. atrata), which also technically gives them the longest total length of any hymenopteran insect. The ovipositor is used to pierce deep into dead or dying trees to lay eggs on the larvae of a large wood-boring sawfly (Tremex columba).

Her ovipositor acts not only as a drill but as a sensory organ, and is highly sensitive to vibrations in the wood made by the sawfly larvae. Note how the translucent membranes of her abdomen stretch as she applies pressure by curling the base of the ovipositor, then retract when she withdraws to search for a different spot.

Marbled Reed Frog or Painted Reed Frog (Hyperolius marmoratus), family Hyperoliidae, South Africa

Three-striped poison Dart Frog (Ameerega trivittata), father carrying tadpoles to water source, family Dendrobatidae, Colombia

Teeny tiny orange toadlet found in Brazil

A unique mating call led biologists to this newly discovered pint-sized amphibian.

A new pumpkin toadlet species was recently discovered in the mountains of southern Brazil. Brachycephalus lulai is just over one centimeter (only 0.39 inches) long and the size of a pencil tip. It’s a completely new species of frog, and detailed in a study published this week in the journal PLOS One. “This new species is unique due to a combination of many characteristics,” Marcos R. Bornschein, a study co-author biologist at the Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) in São Paulo, Brazil, tells Popular Science. “But it stands out because of its orange coloration and particular features of its advertisement call, including the presence of four pulses per note...”
