Something to Aim at in the Toilet - Green Tree Frogs

The Australian Tree Frog DSC_1124 Phil was happily aiming for the toilet fresher block until it started to crawl out from under the flow! These gorgeous tree frogs like to hang around in toilet bowls for some reason. Many number of times on this journey so far we have entered the bathroom to find one of these green fellas perched on the bog seat, in the bowl or just behind it. Perfectly safe but give you a bit of a fright if they start jumping crawling around and you don't know they're there.
Danger rating=0. Can I lick it, yes you can, the skin secretions of the frog have antibacterial and antiviral properties that may prove useful in pharmaceutical preparations. Don't touch it with dry hands, your hands burn their sensitive skin if not wet.
