We didn’t know we needed a "FrogDaddy" but here we are XD

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Very true! 😂

[@ShelleyHannaArt]

This is a world I never knew existed. Absolutely fascinating. Love seeing the little worlds he creates for the frogs with plants!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Incredible! 💚🐸

[@tracyanne2617]

Ummmm is frog daddy Alex single?? Asking for a friend. 😍😍😍 cool tour 🌿🐸

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

😂

[@aeb8895]

Frog Daddy needs a KZbin channel to teach us!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Definitely!

[@lauraramirez-angel5506]

"Random words I'm throwing out" best line of the video. OMG there's so much I still don't know about! I feel like I need subtitles for this video, lol. So much information, I've got to rewatch this a few times 😍. Super random, but love the mold on all the prop boxes, you normally don't get to see the reality of the plant world it's refreshing.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

I learned so much!

[@evaweir4007]

this one definitely one of the most interesting plant (and frog) yours I've ever watched. Alex is so entertaining and it's always a joy to listen to someone talk about their passion!

[@itsmichelebro777]

Oh wow, this is such a cool place! So many cute dart frogs!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

They are adorable!

[@DontHoldYourChops]

He may not be a professor anymore, but you can tell he really enjoys teaching and sharing what he knows. Love this video. Thank you Ashley and Alex!

[@strayargus9382]

I love how Daddy was so enthusiastic to walk you through his plants

[@ohio_nights]

Fantastic video, Ashley! You’ve been killing it on the tour content lately; so fun and informative! Alex seems like a really genuine guy and you can tell he’s really excited about his work. FrogDaddy introduced me to the Philodendron Brevispathum, which might be the most unique plant in my collection.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! 💚

[@ohkaymo]

If I didn't want a terrarium before...GORGEOUS

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

💚💚

[@onlyplants]

This video is so interesting from start to finish. 🤤

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Hi friend! 👋 I’m honored you watched! Hope you are well! 🌱 🪴 🤗

[@juliemarcoux1662]

Thank you so much for bringing us on this amazing tour! This guy is awesome, what talent!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks for watching!

[@Dollsanity]

Ashley, you stay coming through with the content we want. This was so interesting. I didn’t know about frog collecting at all, and he had so many cool plants. To see them growing in mini environments was fascinating. Thanks for asking what we all want to know and giving him the space to his knowledge.

[@lilrissa33]

OMG! Alex sure knew his stuff! I was very impressed! Loved seeing/learning about the plants I’ve never heard/seen before. I’m fairly new to this plant world. I never had a green thumb so I shied away from them. It wasn’t till recently (in July) when my sister in law added me to a plant group that I started loving all these plants. Now I can’t get enough of them. I also just recently found you and I love the videos I’ve watched so far. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! 😊

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks Rissa!

[@gwenncoath8941]

And in Bessemer City! Cool place!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

[@ClaireCambridge]

Wow this was is cool - he is so knowledgeable and fun to listen to

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

100%

[@suekuly4723]

Thoroughly enjoyed this Ashley. I have been a frog lover since I was a young girl. Nice to see all the different species of frogs and plants.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Lovely! 🐸

[@kalyns7198]

I watch this video over and over again...I hope you'll make another trip to film! I love it so much!

[@angelasteinbacher5833]

Wonderful video! I learned so much and now I’m kind of in love with frog daddy 😂💗

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

😂 agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@honiebird3789]

Such a different twist and refreshing video! Thank you Ashley

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks!

Fantastic tour. And what a nice owner! Thanks for such a great video.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks for watching!

FrogDaddy is the best.. I've bought beautiful planta for my dart frog vivariums from Alex.. This video is amazing because I really got to see his entire set up.. thanks..

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Wonderful!

[@verlenelewis9866]

How fun! Have always loved frogs, so interesting to see all the beautiful ones and learn some new things too. The itty bitty baby was so cute🐸

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks! 🐸

[@fatfrogfarm]

THAT WAS AMAZING! And interesting and educational, and unique, and fun! Wow, who knew? This guy is the coolest plant geek ever!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

[@Amandasplants]

🐸 daddy wowzers blowed my mind. Thanks for the video

[@posti4posti436]

Wow wow wow! What an interesting and beautiful video! Thanks so much Ashley

[@faithwarren9212]

This was such a fun video! I've never been into frogs but he is so passionate about it I was completely glued to the screen. Love this unique content :-)

[@lphea1]

This is the best of all of your videos. I could not turn away from it. If I did, I paused it. Besides learning about the frogs and all of the new and fantastic plants, the expertise of MR. FROG was just delightful.

[@LulaMae21]

This was a treat! I actually came into houseplants via the dart frog/vivarium hobby. I also became an isopod enthusiast because of it. I still don't have dart frogs though lol. I've heard of Frog Daddy but I had no idea he was so close to Charlotte! I took a look at the website and I am stunned at the sheer number of oophaga species he works with. What an amazing tour!

[@ichimarutetsu]

I need some rubber ducky isopods in my life. Just saying

[@LulaMae21]

@@ichimarutetsu Same! I actually want the blonde ducky morph. P. magnificus someday too!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Awesome!

[@marcies4809]

This was an awesome video! I would love to see more at Frog Daddy's. Was hoping to learn about setting up a vivarium for beginners!

[@nildagarcia5398]

💘 love the all kinds of 🐸 frog's and the plant's breath taking thank u for sharing.

[@WilnaWanderlust]

omg! this frogdaddy is unexpectedly well known about the rareplants more. this is a very2 good video sharing Ashley :)

[@Jenoveryonder]

Those frogs are living in luxury. Never envied a frog before now.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

They really are living their best life

[@kyrad6543]

Wow that's an awesome tour. He has a lot of amazing stuff and just reels off the plant names like it's nothing! He has excellent customer service as well. I emailed him about a plant he had in his catalog a while back and he responded very promptly with an honest answer about the possible ID. I really was impressed and appreciated it.

[@kyrad6543]

Plus frogs are cool!

[@Ava-ll2mf]

My tree frog tank is my rooting station bc of the humidity so seeing this is wonderful!

[@mattmulvihill]

I worked with Alex years ago, great dude!

[@Miles_Hoffman]

So ya, that happened and my life will never be the same, already making space to put together a frog home. Thanks for an amazing video, you inspire me to make videos of my Las Vegas Plant adventures. Hope you have some time to take a look and give your expert feedback :) Thank you again for all the great content!

[@KatalinaRocha]

I think I fell in love w frog dadddddy haha I want a man that’s plant obsessed hahaha

[@thefibercircus6313]

I used to raise dart frogs 10+ years ago, this is really making me moss them. My escudo pair was my favorite

[@naegwut]

I loved this so much, looks like it's time for you to have a little terrarium and that guy was so knowledgeable

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza262]

My favorite video in a long time! I have 2 29g terrariums with dart frogs & I keep springtails & isopods. I have a BiOrb that I’m planning on rescaping. I enjoyed going to reptile shows but there wasn’t any last & I’m not sure if I’m ready due to anxiety I’ve had for years of crowds.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks for watching! 🐸

[@lauraw31]

Omg great now my daughter and I want frogs! Lol. Super love this video! Going to follow frog daddy stat!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Very cool!

[@FlosstituteSoozie]

Hi Ashley, I’m a newbie. When I say newbie I mean I have no plants in my house right now but I have a Raven zz on its way to me so I have been devouring your channel and pecking at a couple others. I get the big box stores are a great resource but I LOVED this episode! It’s so important to support the mom and pop shops! I have so much to learn about this big beautiful world and I am hoping your channel helps me navigate this new adventure.

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Fantastic, thanks for watching!

[@barbarajustice9499]

Really nice video I have never seen a setup like that very beautiful plants and rare ones as well thank you for taking us along

Probably my favorite plant tour..! How unique and awesome combining both plants and frogs..!

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

My son keeps dart frogs and has a setup for his frogs much like this guy. Buying rare plants from dart frog breeders is so much cheaper. The secret is definitely out now!

YOU ARE MY FAV PLANT GURL ON KZbin SO CHILL AND SO NICE

[@LifewithAshleyAnita]

Thanks Kevin!

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

That guy is so cool. I collected plants throughout 2k-2013, or so. Prices were nothing like today. Then I had a sort of break down and everything died of neglect, save for my elephant's foot palm. It's around 25yrs old and the trunk is about two feet tall. With the leaves it's probably at least 3.5' tall. Or they are, it two plants meeting at their bases. Now I'm getting back in, building an 18x18x24 tall exo terra vivarium, my first, for my first reptile, a crested gecko. I would loooove to tour and patronize this facility. It's amazing. I never thought it would cost so much to set up a vivarium. I'm only gonna have around $100 left to buy my lizard. I'm doing a foam and drylock background. The plants and substrate and background are each about the price of the gecko lol. The wood is also super expensive. I'm looking at about $800-900 total. It's already worth it though, and I haven't even gotten most of the plants yet, and I won't be getting the gecko for another 3mos probably. I'm just as into shopping and caring for the plants as the animal. I recommend it to any nature lover who has the money and is looking for a cool hobby. I haven't had any hobbies or pasttimes in yeeeears, so I'm psyched. I wish there was a place like that near where I live. Awesome video, thanks!!

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

It would be even cooler to be able to work there. Imagine that, earning a living doing something you truly love. We can dream...
