I bought a snake plant (sanseveria laurentii, don't know if I spelled that right) at Home Depot the other day. Most of them were kind of scraggly looking and I picked one from the center of the display. (the display was indoors). When I got home, I notice some cobwebs on the leaves, so i brought it back outside, put it on the front porch and sprayed it with a garden hose. At this point, a frog jumps out from nowhere. It jumped towards the house, landed on the screen door (which was still closing in mid-jump) and then leaped back to the plant. After I went to get my camera, it was gone or was hiding really well. I took the plant to the backyard, sprayed it again and took it inside the garage after a while. Today, I was getting ready to repot some plants and when I go to open the bag of Miracle-gro, there's the frog again. I'm assuming it's the same one, although I though it was darker, it has the same single stripe, though. Any ideas on what I should do? I'm inclined to leave it it's own devices, although I wonder if it left some eggs or something in the plant (some of the shoots look like they could hold water, like you see bromeiliads doing on nature shows). Why is it just hanging around? (it's been dry lately). Frog is about 2 inches long light green with a yellow/tan lateral stripe. The people at the city's animal control office didn't think I should be too concerned (since the plant was from indoors, go figure). I will post a picture in the alt.binaries.pictures.garden group.
