Many thanks, as ever, to all my trading friends. You're all fantastic.

Fire away! Let me send you a colour, what haven't you done yet?

Everything that's not black, as it happens. I am working on Olive at the moment, otherwise the field is wide open.

Three grown ones left I can send now, and 5 more tomorrow when they're done.

Good morning everyone. A big thanks to my friends for the gifts yesterday. Shortbus, awboj, Quossum, Laura, vtbebop, JKlau, Madmaze, danjarus, Andi, bezoar, CJFlora and Domenic (more than 8). If I missed anyone, your frogs are probably not in my mailbox yet

One of my gifts yesterday was a Glass Picea Lunaris, cool looking frog.

It happens very rarely when breeding a pair one of which is a glass or chroma frog. It's a case where one of the possible outcomes involving the, say, a glass frog is the same as a glass frog that PF is programmed to switch from another outcome. It's tough for me to say. Here's a made-up example:

You're breeding Glass Tingo BreedA X Red Carota BreedA

possible outcomes:
Glass Tingo BreedA
Red Tingo BreedA
Glass Carota BreedA
Red Carota BreedA

But PF is programed to change Red Tingo BreedA to GLASS Tingo BreedA.

So you end up with only three possible outcomes:
Glass Tingo BreedA

Glass Carota BreedA
Red Carota BreedA

As I say, it's very rare.

Those Lunaris win my vote for the creepiest new frog. Especially the chromas.

@ awboj: Thank you, my maroon count is on 0.00%, and would be the last I get to, since I usually work from bottom to top (no, I don't know why either).

I liked the Glass Picea one, was perfect for a spooky night

Enjoy your Solar Eclipse, wish we could see it. It makes every thing look so strange.

That's what I meant. One can buy stamps & potions then do things with them but the only way to get XP is to tame frogs. Thus, if taming via "potions" resulted in XP, then THAT would be an indirect way of "buying" XP.

Hope that made it clearer.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a list of the newest breeds, as well as any changes that have carried over with the new update? I went page almost one hundred pages but couldn't find a list of sorts, just naming a few breeds.

You've already been pointed by others but the biggest changes, IMO & in brief are: a gazillion new frogs, use of the Game Center, "potions for taming," &, (intended or not) incessant robo-notifications in the pond & MB, & different wording for receiving gifts which can be initially confusing. Glitches include: tapping too fast gets you two of the gifted frog, a "fat finger" sends a gift to the wrong person -- if you can even tell who it went to (I did that this morning & an unintended someone was the beneficiary). OK, "fat finger" is not a glitch but annoyance.

Have also trained my finger (mostly) to not hit the Tame with Potions button - amazing what one can get used to.

First, it may have taken you 2 weeks to go up so many levels but how many hours/day?!!

My finger also getting reluctantly trained. But still "fat" & too jumpy in the pond.

Haven't seen a Chroma Lunaris but the creepiest by far, in my mind, is the Foramen. Don't have all the frogs yet so can't say firsthand which is my favorite so it's still the Insero. And no, the Pluma, tho' close, is not the same.

p.s. Many thanks to those who generously shared frogs: Quo for the Flecto, dom for the Skeletos & Fortuno, mirtech for the Emblema, Andi for the Templum, Nirtew for the Nebula, & short for the Favus.

p.p.s.: I'm just beginning to receive the frogs from this week's set so this time I can redeem them rather than send out to others! I'll need room in my habs to house them, briefly, so fewer gifts now would be helpful.

p.p.p.s.: Initially & currently, I'm a reactive PF player meaning I DO reciprocate but don't initiate. During the time I *wasn't* trading, I was gifting randomly because I didn't have a full MB all the time. Now I only gift weekly sets randomly, if I finish early. Unlike others, I'm still at the level I was prior to the update.

p.p.p.p.s.: If I find either of the two missing new frogs in the pond & my MB is full you'll hear me scream even if you live down under!

30 mins per day to sell all the half matured frogs and breed new batch - no hopping required

Thanks, very clear explanation.
