If it makes your grandkids feel better, freezing herps is a very humane way to kill them. Just like people, they go to sleep and don’t wake up. Scientists did it for years, before IACUC instituted true euthanasia for research animals.
Amphibian death chamber sounds like the name of a sci-fi horror movie—especially to someone like me, who lives where frogs mostly exist in such cloaked secrecy, their existence is basically hearsey. Needless to say, I only find myself in Florida when held at gunpoint.
Zeke and Fidel share a uncanny resemblance. And I guess fortunately for all of us. They both have CROAKED!!
Stick a cigar in that frog's mouth and you might have a point...
Thanks for info!
So far haven’t seen a Zeke.
Only a group of maybe 30-40 Florida Tree Frogs.
They drop onto my head coming thru the door and make it into the house.
If I’m lucky I’ll get to the ones inside before they are entangled in dog and cat hair.
They keep you awake at night?
No…
But they’re extremely loud when it’s raining!
I hope all those babies don't come back to avenge Mama Zeke. 🙄
Perhaps they'll get deported if they can't get birthright citizenship.
Probably too late for that but I'm on the lookout.
Show us a photo of a native Florida Tree Frog next to a photo of Zek so we all know who to freeze out.
Hey Rick -- There's a photo of a Florida Tree Frog in the first post. Here's a link https://bobmorris.substack.com/p/would-you-kill-zeke-the-frog?r=1g4g5

My grandkids turned out to be a coldhearted than I would have predicted. They did not mourn for long.
