My two Azureus frogs are Cicero and Parisa. Am I the only one who names their frogs?

ima have to be honest..... i have too many frogs to name now hahaha. i named my first frogs which were whites tree frogs and that was about it... ones burt, ernie, oscar, and elmo....... once i got into dart frogs i just call em their proper names... 'dendrobates auratus' so on and so on lol. i named my turtle "terrapin" though...

Your not the only one, I too name my snakes. Turk, Shep, Tantor, Prince John, Malefisent, and Lady Tramain. The first three are names are for my auratus (two super blue and one campana). The last three are of my P. terribilis (orange)

Yours are named after Sesame Street, can you figure out mine.

My cits are named 87TWI795 and 87TWI796 but my parents refer to them as "Bo" and "Llyod" and it has sorta stuck. Props if you get the reference.

That's right about the first three. The terribilis are going to be a little tricky (maybe). Here's a hint they are all Disney characters and think TERRIBilis

The thing with naming your frogs, is that it helps you identify them. Comes in handy for individual observation, on behaviour etc. I now have 15 frogs, all named. The 5 bicolors were a bit difficult at first, but now a can instantly see who's who. Here's the list:
Indi = azureus
Lazuli = azureus
Sapphire = azureus
Hugo = amazonicus
Cleo = amazonicus
Titi = amazonicus
Bolle (fatty in dutch) = bicolor
Baloo = bicolor
Banana = bicolor
Buddha = bicolor
B.A. = bicolor
Stracciatella = vanzolinii
Salvador = vanzolinii
Casanova = vanzolinii
Chippolata = vanzolinii
