Kathryn's frogs resemble that comment. European fire-bellied toad, Asian fire-bellied toad, and Cuban treefrog (listed from smallest to largest). Cute things, totally nuts, and with more personality than is probably good for them. That's probably what keeps 'em alive, I suppose.

And thanks for the laugh. I now have the image of your poor snake totally bamboozled by its newspaper prey. "I'll get you and your sports section, too!"
