Good Grief, a Frog!

[jammer]

I have toads about but now i have a huge green frog. I can't get a
good enough look to see if it's a bullfrog or not. I hope not, if it
will eat toads. It stays in or near the little pondlet that it looks
out of place at. It is very skittish and i cant get a picture or a
very long look.

You have snails coming out of your ears and i cant get one.

4 people drowned at the fort worth water gardens yesterday. Bizarre,
indeed.

And i looked up frogs and the only one that it looked like was a darn
bullfrog. They will eat toads, wont they? My 3 fish are still in
there....this is larger than any of the toads, with smooth skin and
LONG legs. If he'll eat toads, i am going to catch and remove it.

Yellow lips? Sounds like a male green or bronze frog. If you can get a
look...behind his/her eye is the tympanic membrane, that big circle thing.
There will probably be a fold of skin near there. Does that fold run to the
hind legs or does it turn sharply downwards to the front legs?
