Took our grandson to the zoo Sunday, and while there, came upon this Odd Couple in the reptile house. This is an emerald tree boa (I think), and his companion…which looks remarkably like a chocolate frog, but was very much alive…was sleeping about a half an inch from the snake’s nose. While we watched, it moved up even closer. Is this a froggie with a death wish? Or are emerald tree boas capable of enjoying lap pets? One has to wonder. Maybe there’s a good story in here somewhere…could work for a kid’s book. OR, maybe there’s this really good-looking herpetologist, and maybe he has trouble getting dates, because some women don’t care much for things that slither. Or maybe it’s just a really cool photo I wanted to share with you today. 😀 Enjoy!

Hi, Deb! I’m going to tell my husband you said that. He’ll be surprised. 😉 My company left today, so I’m getting things back in order around here, and life will soon resume its more typical patterns. I might even catch up on email a bit, though my TBR pile is probably not going to start shrinking yet. 😀 Nice to see you today. (You have to admit that’s a pretty wild photo, though. My husband took it with his iPhone, through the glass, and it still turned out pretty good.)

You know, I remembered that this is a White’s tree frog, and when I googled emerald tree boa and White’s tree frog, I found at least a dozen photos of the two of them together. Maybe tree boas really DO like lap pets???? 😀 😀 😀
