Meet the newest member of our family:

No, not Wesley, silly....

ROSCOE
Yes, we now have a green tree frog that calls us family.
 
My brother gave Wesley this fine specimen of a frog for Christmas.  Actually, he just gave him the tank and all that is needed for the frog along with a gift card so Wesley could go pick him out.

Wesley has wanted a pet frog for years.  Kevin felt he was now old enough to fully take care of the little guy.  Since he was sick right after Christmas he had to wait a couple of days to get him.  We helped Wes out with some names by throwing ones out at him to see if he liked them.  He chose Roscoe.  I love it.  :)

Roscoe eats small crickets and you have to spray water in his aquarium during the day to help with humidity.  In summer he shouldn't have to spray him as much since we are full of humidity around these parts.  Wes also has to keep a light on him to keep it warmer for him.

Roscoe has been doing well and has begun coming out more than he did the first few days of adjusting.  Wes just loves him and so do we.
