My Frogs Needed a Home, so I Made Them a Jungle

[@SerpaDesign]

What should I name the last frog? I can’t get enough of these little frogs, but they won’t stay this small for much longer. They’re following a similar growth rate as Mark, which means they’ll increase exponentially soon. I'm looking forward to the day when they all can live together. Until then SerpaSquad, I hope you all enjoyed this video and have a great weekend!

[@emmacavalier]

Please name one Kermit. Or you can stick to the fruit theme (e.g. Muscat, Yuzu, Kiwi, Apricot or Tomato)

[@Jellyfish969]

Eggplant

[@gerpsu1772]

Fogo

[@millerjohnson4232]

Peach or banana

[@pinapol4473]

Pineapple, to go with the other tropical fruits

[@laurahadley2146]

Maybe Lychee as a name. I love your new editing touches.

[@Zuhqeel]

I second Lychee!

[@LizardWizard213]

Was just gonna say lychee 😊

[@VNightmoon]

Lychee!

[@SavageOra]

Lychee would be great considering her color

[@blueseanewt2138]

Lychee matches the others so well

[@rainysunflower384]

Yuzu is a citrus fruit and would make a cute name. I love the addition of the bromeliad in the enclosure- they really make the best little frog hiding places.

[@iszsvnnyknight5688]

Yuzu is nice❤

[@hayrogarciga924]

i second yuzu

[@jamesthomas89112]

I was gonna write Yuzu, then I saw this comment

[@kml730]

I like that

I work at a Home improvement retailer in Canada and our tropical plants often come from nurseries in Florida. We often get "hitch hiker" critters on our plants. One day I saw something fuzzy flopping on the floor and thought it was a baby bird fallen from it"s nest. But it was a frog covered in dust from crawling under the racks. This was at least half the store length from the garden centre. I rescued the little guy and put him in a margarine container with a bit of water. I could almost hear his sigh of relief when he touched the water. I took him home and set him up in a similar open front terrarium although at the time I wasn't sure what kind of frog he was. He appeared to be a kind of tree frog with big eyes and pads on his toes, but didn't match any of our local frogs. I checked one of my amphibian guides and determined he most resembled a Cuban Tree Frog and then saw that their range was obviously, Cuba, but also south Florida and particularly found in garden centres and nurseries. Had him for a number of years and was always amazed at his ability to change both the colour and texture of his skin to camouflage with whatever background he was on. Whenever I came home and opened our front door it would make a creaking sound which would set him off into a chorus of croaks lol! Miss that guy!

[@AncientWildTV]

he could change both the colour and texture of his skin? so cool

[@cooperolm9687]

I worked at a greenhouse in Ontario that imported from Florida and wholesaled to smaller plant stores and hardware stores, and yeah we got some wild critters! Our greenhouses were heavily populated by anoles, geckos, cuban treefrogs, greenhouse frogs, and a huge variety of invertebrates we don't naturally get up here. Sucks that biosecurity is so weak between the two countries, it's a ecological big hazard, but it is nice to get to enjoy some funky animals we don't normally see.

[@spaceforbrains]

Persimmon! little round and yellow, just like her!

[@tessastaubly8148]

And she could be "Percy" for short.

[@silmarildust]

Clementine would be super cute for her name. She's adorable!

[@awildpersonappeared]

Please call her Melon! Such an adorable frogger! 🐸 Edit: Pls vote on the community post!!

[@sheypinga5690]

yeessss great name

[@kleinesren7064]

was thinking the same thing! :)

[@Just1Nora]

My idea was Honeydew, so we think alike! Perfect for a sweet little female froggy. 😊

[@roiblack8587]

Yes, Melon is perfect.

[@DutchBane]

I like melon a lot too❤ good choice

[@feeshboul]

It’s awesome to see how much more comfortable you’ve become over the years. not just behind the camera but with your editing.

[@sarahd7267]

You're super talented and your videos are informative and enjoyable to watch. I love your love for animals. 😊

[@rattheunloved9479]

Lychee would be a very fitting name.

[@BobyChanMan]

Every video like this reminds me of how skilled Tanner is, with such simple materials he created a beautiful vivarium. Its like watching Bob Ross paintings come to life as he works.

[@Punki80]

That is so funny, for some reason I had also "Bob Ross" coming to my mind while watching 😂.

[@MadHatta555]

Hes definitely the Bob Ross of the reptile/aquarium/terrarium community ❤

[@jopossum]

The way you were narrating the little frogs at the end made me tear up for some reason. So precious.

[@mariediamond9741]

Pitaya! It’s another name for dragonfruit. Tropical, exotic and easy to pronounce!

[@waleahsagt]

It's crazy how much influence you had on my life. Because of you I learned so much about plants and stuff like this. I found out really fast, that it's not about the animals for me. I love creating stuff with plants and waterstuff an of course landscaping. I'm here for a few years now and it's time to say thank you. You opened the door for my most loved hobby ever. Thank you man. Oh and if I EVER get rich, I will definetly hire you (if possible) to build an amazing Paludarium for and with me. 😍

GUAVA. Thank you Tanner, EXCELLENT as always ! 🌺💚🙃

[@badenanderson3504]

YES. He also needs to get two more and name them orange and pinapple. Then you have the POG frogs.

[@badenanderson3504]

wait srry not pinapple, Pog jucie is made with passion fruit

[@MouseSnack]

This project sounds fascinating! 🐸 How do you plan to replicate the jungle oasis environment? What specific features will you include for the tree frogs? I can’t wait to see how the colony thrives in this setup

[@Diospyros1985]

Paw Paw! USA's largest native fruit!

[@tessastaubly8148]

Heck yeah!

[@rat_dragon]

I may have a name idea for you - Yuzu - along with a short story: 4 years ago, I found a small fowler's toad outside that was injured; the skin on his right arm was torn, revealing the muscular tissue beneath it. It looked as if he was attacked by a bird or a raccoon. I took this little guy in and named him Kiwi. For 2 weeks he was too scared to eat, until he gathered up his courage. Since then, he became one of the friendliest toads I have ever seen. He enjoyed being held, constantly begged for attention, and ate a variety of foods from my fingers or tongs. Over the years I had upgraded his enclosure; starting from a quaint little 12x12x12" bioactive vivarium with nothing but bark and moss. He eventually moved to a 12x12x18 with plants, an 18x18x24 (which can be seen on my channel), and finally, a few months ago, his final home; a 24x18x18 with a huge variety of plants, moss, and leaf litter, a large "pond", and a cleanup crew consisting of red wiggler worms, 2 species of springtails (1 uninvited native), detritus mites, and isopods, along with 2 girlfriends. He thrived in his enclosure until 3 weeks ago, when his health started going downhill. He was old for a fowler's toad (4 years, 4 months to be specific - for reference, the oldest fowler's toad in captivity was 2 years and 5 months.) A few days ago, it was Kiwi's time...I will forever miss the way that he stalked me, his silly noises, and the way he begged for attention by following me around the pet room. I will never be the same without you, Kiwi. Thank you for making my last 4 years tolerable. My name idea for your unnamed frog is the name of Kiwi's first girlfriend; Yuzu. She started off scared, as many toads do, but her personality has blossomed. She's growing into a beautiful girl, a ferocious eater, and begs for attention, following me around the room, just like how Kiwi did. Please note that you don't have to name your tree frog Yuzu, but it would make my day. It fits into your exotic fruit theme as well, like it did mine, but don't feel pressured by me to do so. Thank you for your amazing, calming, and inspirational videos that I've enjoyed over the past 7 years. I will forever be a fan of your art.

[@RanaHeidari-u4g]

Just stopped to say this comment made my heart happy☺️

[@NovusBovus]

Yuzu is a great name!

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

YUZU! this is the name

[@Kittenball]

What a sweet story, and I love the name Yuzu!

[@SerpaDesign]

Toads are incredible animals and typically habituate well to human care, so I'm not surprised. It's cool that you were able to help it and form a bond over that time, though, and I'm sorry for your loss. Yuzu seems to be a popular suggestion, so I'm adding it to the poll on a community post.

Call the new one "Cherimoya"...it's a delicious Caribbean fruit. Good story!

[@cristiaolson7327]

Yes! Cherimoya is perfect: it's tropical, it's sweet, and it's tree-frog green.

[@Amaryllisandbaby]

I agree!

[@MasonsRainforest]

I miss my sticky 😭 he came from petsmart so I unfortunately only had him for about a year. This is making me want frogs again 😭 tree frogs are just so freaking adorable. RIP Sticky the frog

[@Just1Nora]

Honeydew! Perfect cute name for a sweet little female frog with a patterned cream and green back with vibrant light green underneath. Or Cherimoya, aka custard apple. Light but vibrant green skin with soft ivory or cream colored flesh.

[@stampinturtles]

Idk why but the name Apple came to mind. Like a green apple. So cute! Love the back story and all the video edits. You show your gift for making a mini movie (documentary) as well as your gift for creating ecosystems. Your love for frogs shines too. This is such a wonderful video to watch and help me stop scrolling through all the destruction from Helene. I don’t want to stop praying for those who lost everything but I think I need a break from it. Sadly they can’t take a break. God be with them. 🙏🏻 Thank you for this reminder of peaceful times and the way things should be.

[@ESwift-Arts]

Loved seeing your sense of humor shine through in this one! I think Lychee or Clementine could be a good name

[@Tzippi]

[@der-gus]

Hey, I'm wondering if you could make an ecosystem but focusing on the plants more than the animals. Getting exotic, strange rare plants to make it look really jazzy? Love the videos by the way.

[@andrewviolette6471]
