Default OT Frogs

So I'm watering the plants, and I see these two guys.

It has not been uncommon for me to find one frog sitting in the spout
of one of the self-watering pots I have around the house. In fact,
the frogs seem to have become rather used to me, and not as afraid of
me as they have been. They would often jump out of the pot when I
came near with a watering can, then they waited to jump out until the
pot got full, now they don't even bother to jump out at all. (Well,
if I pour water on them directly they'll jump, but you really have to
fuss with them these days.) But this is the first time I have seen
two in the same spout. I took this after filling the pot with water.
The fill up didn't seem to bother them at all, although the flash from
the camera made the green one go away and hide for a moment, but then
he came back out. To bring this sort of back around to ponds, it
wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that these guys spent at least
part of their lives (perhaps as tadpoles) in the pond.
