Right. That was really the kind I was thinking about. It has a
specific name, But I can't think what it is.

Hi Bindi,

Welcome to rec.ponds!

I have a pond just for frogs and insect larvae
called the Frog Bog. I adopted some frogs'
eggs from my friends pond in the spring,
they hatched and now live in my yard and
come back in the spring.

I use a mosquito product to keep mosquitoes
out there but like all the dragon and damselflies
that lay their eggs in there.

Hi, Kathy!
Thank you for the welcome!

Cool name for your pond!
I have named my little one Frog Palace. :-) It is planted with reeds and good hiding
places of rocks and small logs.
But the big pond area is like a dinotopia! I have put large logs and rocks as a backdrop
for it and then planted ferns and palms through the whole thing. It has bog plants and
reedy smaller plants around the ponds front edge and the mound of dirt I dug out for the
pond heaped up on one side and planted with ferns and placed some rocks on it as well. I
cut some plastic storm pipe into small lengths and pushed them through the base of the
dirt heap to make tunnels for the lizards here and then made cave entrances around them
with rocks. I then topped of the whole lot with a wood chip mulch and put in a heap of big
plastic dinosaurs I got from a cheap shop. It looks great! It is an exciting thing to do
and it feels great when it is finished and you know that it is there because you built it.

Welcome to rec.ponds! Bindi!

Another frog ponder here. I'm at the age now I'm thinking I like the
natural pets over the dependent ones. Here that would be the
treefrogs, squirrels and all the birds. With a few exceptions,
herons, raccoons & skunks.... but even those don't wet on my carpet
or yak on the rugs. ;-)

Course neither do the koi... but they do require a little more care. I
guess I have to something that needs me, besides the human folk around
here. Again, Welcome. ~ jan

Hi, Jan!
Thank you for the welcome!
I have always liked frogs and lizards but I like it when they can come and go if they want
to.
It is too dry here for treefrogs but we do get a couple of different kinds of native frogs
and lots of different lizards. I have a cat called Monty and he can't come and go because
of the birds and lizards around the place but he has inside and a whole enclosed veranda
to run around in with runways up high and ramps and two cat doors to inside for him to
use. I also have two rabbits now that I got last week. They are in a big yard in the back
that was my wombat yard. We are not alowed to have koi here in South Australia because
they are declared a noxious species but we can have goldfish and minnows. We also have to
have permits to keep frogs and lizards and most of the native birds and animals. It's a
good thing because it stops people from taking them from the wild.

Nice to meet you!
Bindi.

Hi, Dan!
It is a great place to live!
I am in the mid north near Virginia/ Two Wells. Sorta near Adelaide.
I am originally from the far north/ the bush. My dad was a rabbit trapper and shooter.

Nice to meet you!

Just put Reel Mckoi in your killfile. Nobody in the NG replies to her.
She very rude and jumps into conversation not her own. She nice until
you cross her, then she will try to bite your head off, as she has done
with other regulars.
