No one knows except my immediate group of friends, and my room mate of course. lol. I'd like to bring one of my smaller corn snakes into my room, but I'd have to find something easier to move then a glass 10g tank. He'd have to come home with me for long weekends and vacations, because my school does room checks. Plus its a $75 per animal if I get caught. I'm hoping if anyone finds my fish and little frog, they'll just tell me to bring it home instead of fining me since they are so small.

Cool frog; I know that at least in my horned frog's case, they spend 90% of their lives buried in dirt.. you could just tell people that you're growing tomatoes or something! I use that coco fiber stuff also for mine.
Looks like you're doing well; the crickets look calcium-dusted. Many people neglect to do this, and end up with frogs that have MBD (metabolic bone disease.) Results in deformities and death b/c of calcium deficiency.. nice frog!

I give him primarily superworms now instead of crickets since they are silent and easier to store. He gets 1 or 2 a day. I give him vitamin-dusted worms 2x a week, and the rest are dusted w/ d3. I'm a vet student and I did my fall semester project on MBD in reptiles. Its sad what illeducated owners do to their pets.
Artimus is doing great, he's getting huge! Here are some updated pictures of the little butter ball:
