Frogs in the Denver Metro area?

That's the beauty of him though, feed once a week and forget him till he randomly makes some high pitched burping noise.

Still miss my garter snakes, they were fun to watch fish for goldfish in a bowl.

West Nile can be nasty, I would stay away from that place. Ask the school if you can walk around there. But even that will have tons of skeeters.

just as another caution: I don't know if they're up in Denver, but down here we get Colorado river toads...

they're poisonous, they excrete the poison from the yellow-ish glands on their back. The poison is also a hallucinogenic, and generally requires ingesting to work, but worth avoiding them- especially with children.

Oh, amphibians ... I thought you were talking about French people in the Denver area.

You can walk around the school just fine, but I don't like being on school grounds if I don't have to.

Thanks for the links about all the deadly things. I guess I'll just keep her indoors and tell her to get her own childhood when she turns 18.

There is a trail that runs along a stream that is dried out but other times full of slow moving water back behind ..... I just realized I can't remember my own elementary. One up the hill from Mandalay Middle. (Not the one adjacent/down hill next door)

Also if you to the area around Westminster Promenade there is a fairly long trail system that meets streams off and on again, in particular a good place to go wading/exploring is as it hits more towards the school just before going up a steep curving road. (Sorry can't remember roads anymore.)
