Ginormous 2 was hiding inside the rue plant, but when I sprinkled it this morning he came to the top to dry off.

other sizes: small medium original auto

These guys actually absorb water through their skin, and love lots of humidity. This little one looks wonderful, such a nice shot. Hope we have a good Spring, and you find they've matured and laid egg sacks. ;-)
Great gallery!

Gorgeous shot, Isabel. It looks like he has eyes in the back of his head.

Love the capture of the water drops. I am so envious. I spent so much time and money on mine only to have the last one disappear. I don't know if I will try again next year.

Looks like he is getting enough to drink too! ;-)
