Well, they can always avoid the obvious and hope the lease doesn’t include such things as “reptiles, amphibians, dragonets, guard lizards and tame Dungeon Dwellers.”

Hopefully, the above-mentioned critters will have hatched and gone on to bigger and better things before the landord/lady is even aware that the building(s) is even inhabited by such things.
Hopefully.

My landlord brings his little terrier along to enforce his “NO DOGS ALLOWED” edict.

Unless the dog he brings is a wire-haired fox terrier, the sign/edict of “No Dogs Allowed” is worthless.

Take lots of photos of the little wuzzer and if you ever have to go to court, you have a defense! Especially if your dog is smaller!

Calm down everyone. The Venus Fly Trap did not eat a frog. That’s a fake. The trigger hairs close the trap as soon as they’re touched, but in this clever gif, there are no trigger hairs, which in a real plant are at the center of the leaves.

I had frogs give birth on my pool cover in May. We had tons of tadpoles on the pool over. My husband had a fit. I made him scoop them up and bring them to a near by river.

I used to grow Venus Fly Traps, and they have three feelers growing on the inside of each leaf, and the instant you touch any of them, the leaves close.

Froggie could not have crawled all the way into the trap without springing it 'way before it shows in the video.

And seeing is no longer believing. Hubby and I just got done watching "Clash of the Titans." ;-P

I wondered what they ate, so the article states this:

Adult microhylids generally feed on very young insects, tiny flies, or very small insects such as ants.

So where are the pictures of the micro-insects? And what do the baby frogs feed on?

Praline: Next we have number four, ‘crunchy frog’.

Milton: Ah, yes.

Praline: Am I right in thinking there’s a real frog in here?

Milton: Yes. A little one.

Praline: What sort of frog?

Milton: A dead frog.

Praline: Is it cooked?

Milton: No.

Praline: What, a raw frog?

(Superintendent Parrot looks increasingly queasy.)

Milton: We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.

Praline: That’s as maybe, it’s still a frog.

Milton: What else?

Praline: Well don’t you even take the bones out?

Milton: If we took the bones out it wouldn’t be crunchy would it?

Praline: Superintendent Parrot ate one of those.

Parrot: Excuse me a moment. (exits hurriedly)

Milton: It says ‘crunchy frog’ quite clearly.

Praline: Well, the superintendent thought it was an almond whirl. People won’t expect there to be a frog in there. They’re bound to think it’s some form of mock frog.

Milton: (insulted) Mock frog? We use no artificial preservatives or additives of any kind!

Praline: Nevertheless, I must warn you that in future you should delete the words ‘crunchy frog’, and replace them with the legend ‘crunchy raw unboned real dead frog’, if you want to avoid prosecution.

He was Corsican, not French, so you can’t really call him a frog.

Genoa ceded Corsica to France the year before Nappy was born. That makes him a frog.

The French didn’t see it that way.

‘And what do the baby frogs feed on?’

Baby frogs would be tadpoles. They eat things like mosquito larvae.

Two, I think.
The twitching keeps going.
It’s horrible.
Tech support is no help.

Pierce aardvarks and breed noses?

I think piercing aardvarks would get you in trouble with the SPCA.

After I posted it, an image popped into my head of an aardvark with a mohawk and wearing a teeshirt that reads “Aardvark Anarchists of Amerika”.
So yes, I agree that piercing aardvarks would likely be a very bad idea and may even breed unintended consequences.
