- I've been wanting to add these to the collection for some time now, but the timing just wasn't right. After some consideration and a lot of research, I decided that I wanted to get a pair of Suriname Toads! When I finally saw them in person, I couldn't believe how bizarre and cool they are. I really hope I'm able to get them to thrive and do well for me.
Also, as I said in the video, they were sold to me as captive-bred animals. I'm not sure I believe that's true though because of how large they are. I really try not to support when possible, so I'd rather not disclose where I bought them.
Besides that, I've been gathering up materials for their new home and can't wait to get started. I know you're going to love it!

What do you think of the new additions? We ended up naming them Pancake and Flapjack because of how flat they are! I can't wait to hopefully share more on them as well as show you where they will live very soon. Also, what do you think of the progress of the new plywood tanks? I'm really excited to almost be done with construction.
Those are adorable names
Excited to see the documentary...
Their faces almost made me cry, so stupid but adorable looking
👍
Cool.
Tanner reveals the animals "Ohhhh.....its a.....its a......what the hell is it" 🤣🤣
i genuinely didnt know what i was looking at at first
Its you
@@karendoornek7431 Outloud, I said, "Mata Mata???" That was my first guess anyway.
Lol MD! You do the same, and I love it!
OMG!!! ITS MD FISH TANKS! I love your channel✌️
3:12 damn Tanner, you didn't have to drip so hard on us
😂😂😂😂
for real he looks nice as hell in that shot!
@@nillholenixon5701 ikr lmao
@@SerpaDesign ngl looks sick. What sunglasses are those?
Look at those shades!
You learn something new every day. I had no idea that those frogs existed.
I'm glad that you learned something new! You should look up how they give birth if you haven't already. It's really interesting.
If looked for these for 10 years and never found any, you're lucks as hell
@@SerpaDesign I will look into how they do give birth if it is that cool.
@@alexblanco3697 Bad idea if you suffer from trypophobia at all. He wasn't kidding that these frogs are poster girls for that...
@@bilal4082 I thought you could order them online through various websites though
Make a biotope. Your skills in replicating nature would probably make whatever fish you choose feel the closest to nature
Pretty much what I'm doing. I typically don't do true biotopes, but it will closely mimic their natural environment.
Tanner: look at these guys!
These guys quite literally: 👁 👄 👁
This is the best comment 😂
more like: 👁 👄 👁
I didn't even watch the video... But those silhouettes, I recognize those anywhere. I hate them. Suriname toads. I have an innate fear of them, maybe it's the birthing/carrying the babies within their own skin in their backs.
Haha you're right. I don't show that in the video though, so maybe you can learn to love them. 😊
If you succeed in the captive breeding process, documenting it will be precious data for the world ! Having them with you is extraordinary !
Remember, the difference between science and goofing off is writing it down! Track everything, pH, etc. Who knows, you could publish!
@@zelousfoxtrot3390 100% ! Many australian folks keeping Varanus species helped describe them and their behaviors
I love how Samson uses his hands when he eats
Me too!!!
cookie monster
I think because the mice were so frozen it killed him, u are suppose to though it out
@@kylelazdowski6924 Dude he said he thawed the mice out, and..that's not even the frog that died.
The thumbnail be like, "Who's that Pokemon!"
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE. Oh my god I want some Suriname toads so bad!! They’re so fun looking haha :))
These flat bois are so interesting! I'm looking forward to seeing more of them in the future 💚
I've grown up in QLD, so most of my exposure to frogs/toads is green tree frogs and cane toads. My jaw literally dropped when the Suriname toads were swimming. Those feet/flippers! They're huge!
It's like the matamata turtle of the frog world
They really do look similar!
Plant supplier: so, how much plants do you want?
Serpa design: yes
Love the new frogs/toads. I love frogs, I'm sort of living vicariously through you. Life's just not leaving space for pet frogs in my life yet so I'm enjoying yours. Thanks Tanner.
I'm in love with this channel now holy cow dude you actually care about animals not just the hobby, you build things so beautifully and you are also into the act of educating others on your pets! I love it!
Love, love, LOVE Suriname toads! They've been a "someday-species" for me as well, and at some point I'll finally pull the trigger and get some. Loved the video as always--you're very inspiring to many of us out here, Tanner, and while I would love to see you doing more collaboration videos, the checking-in and process demonstration videos are my personal favorites. Please keep up the good work!
Omg I've had nightmares of these frogs when I was a little girl watching documentaries and even then, I couldn't help but be absolutely fascinated by them!! I've taught my family about them and I've just always found them fascinating while at the same time unsettling because of the breeding process. I hope you get to film the process if it happens!! Probably the critter I'll look forward to the most in your channel lol good luck with the new froggies!
Can you imagine the first time an explorer saw one of these guys as flat as they are with their little eyes? Must have been a wild experience! Love the work you do Tanner! Looking forward to the progress of this build, it's going to rock!
omg. i had ZERO idea frogs ate mice. ...and LOTS of mice?! yiiikes. thats like us....what, eating a pony?
im amazed. i love your videos t, thanks as always.
edit--awww!! your flat babies are soo cute. i hope you have a nice new relationship with your new friends.
😂 Frogs are notorious for eating anything that can fit in their mouth. Glad to hear that you learned something new.
Frogs usually eat whatever they can fit in their mouths, including each other in certain species. Some... Like the pacman frogs will try to eat things much bigger than themselves. Which can be a problem for survival. Lol
@@Nevario1 i guess maybe i really did know that. 🤔 but i forgot i knew, so it was wild to see this baby have his snack. it all makes sense. i was just amazed. 🙌🏾
@@SerpaDesign How often does he eat 2 mice?
Right?! I didn’t know they ate mice either! I thought it was crickets and bugs and such. I’ve never seen anyone feed frogs before.
Yay!!! I'm from Suriname, where these little guys are from. This is so awesome.
I kept a Pipa Pipa years ago, they're a favorite of mine, and I got to see one in the wild in Peru. I find the details of their anatomy fascinating. The split finger tips down to microscopic levels, their hips built flat to support faster forward thrusting for capturing prey, and of course the eggs to fully formed froglettes in their back, their fingers used as a net to scoop prey into their mouth, etc...
The speed at which they catch prey is insane and worth showing.
I'm happy you're giving them a spotlight and supporting captive breeding, you're the man Tanner!
I'm really excited to see what you have in mind for the Suriname's. I've always loved the species they're just so flat. it makes them look like they have these big goofy smiles!
I am a patient of trypophobia😭 but these frogs are cute af
Me too. Him just saying it made me nauseous!
@@rondalavon7584 yeah😂😭
they are cute now... better put a warning on your video when she's carrying, that's gross (to me)
A “patient” lol so dramatic
@@RookieAssassin it's not a joke tho...
OMG yesssssss!!!!! 𓆏 𓆏 𓆏
You are my sensei for tank builds. As soon as I get my income tax I'm going to attempt to make my very first enclosure for some froggos and toads 𓆏. Keep doing what you're doing!
I love that he really cares about the well being of these animals. They're not just something to look at to him (like most people). He really takes the time to make sure they're content.
Totally, utterly cool frogs! Wishing you and them a long association. Will keep my fingers crossed, metaphorically, for their breeding success.
I’m so happy to see these on your channel!!! I love these oddballs.
I got my first Surinam toad when I was maybe 10, and it lived in our living room until I was 20-something. I’ve had a couple others since then, but couldn’t move cross country with them. I’m primarily a tarantula keeper now, but I still want to get a breeding pair eventually.
Mine was always fairly easy to keep. After discovering that mine never wanted to come out of the water, I kept mine all fully aquatic. They also ate almost exclusively feeder fish with a few supplements.
I think there’s a good chance yours are captive bred. A lot of people get them because they’re neat, not knowing how large they get and the space they require (not to even speak of filtration). I’ve seen them on rehousing lists many times. Perhaps yours are part of that.
I can’t wait to see the set up you make for yours and I really can’t wait to see more from them. 💜🕷
THEY'RE SO WEIRD BUT SO COOL I LOVE THEM
So true about not realizing how flat they are! I've seen other pictures but this is the first time I've really appreciated just how thin they are. Love their big webbed back feet too!!
how exciting! i love your videos so much, i love that you include the woodworking and creating aspect. your channel is so unique and so appreciated, you set me in a direction of such a rewarding hobby.
Wow! Very interesting and neat animals! I shall live vicariously through you, Tanner, cause I will not be having any reptiles or amphibians myself, but I’m very happy to see you enjoying them and sharing your experience with us! Thank you!
so glad i discovered your channel recently! your videos are fantastic and you just seem like a really great person!
Pancake men coming at you live
Funny thing is that we named them Pancake and Flapjack 😂
Hahahah as soon as I saw how flat they were I was like “oh no these are the frogs that grow holes in their backs” 😂 It’s really cool to look at them as juveniles. Very leaf-like!
Thank You Tanner... I find your show a focus of fascination. What you do so well is the exact opposite of anything in my life, work, hobby or mindset. Your show opens my mind and imagination. That is a good thing for sure......TM
What an awesome video...so much to take in, in one small video 💚 Learned so much right here! African Bullfrogs have TEETH yikes 😱 and those Suriname Toads, well I can’t even begin to get my head around those. Looking forward to seeing all the updates on Pancake & Flapjack.
So cool, love the names! Can't wait to hear more about them as you learn. Those tanks you are building are awesome!
Very appropriate names..LOL😂
LOVE the remodeling you've done, looks nice. Just sent Rachel a bunch of mini orchid cuttings, one being Dinema polybulbon which I sent alot, maybe she will share some with you. 👍 👍 👍 😉
They're so cool! I'm glad you broke down MJ's tank. It's kind of sad, but it was HIS after all, and these two deserve a fancy place made special just for them the same way he did! Definitely looking forward to seeing what you put together for them! Welcome, Pancake and Flapjack! Your futures brightened a thousand times over from the moment that box opened up! And not just because you'd just spent a few days riding around in a box.
I cant wait to see your upcoming videos man! I know the build for these guys is gonna be insane
Leave it to you to get me liking Suriname toads (frogs). They are kind of cute, and seem pretty chill, great job Tanner, they couldn't have landed in a better home!👌🏼🐸🐸💚
Thanks for another awesome video tanner. Can't wait for the videos on building those plywood tanks, as i'd like to build 1 or 2 myself.
Congrats on your new family members. They're amazing, good luck n God Bless. Can't wait to see more. Love your vid.
They look awesome - cant wait to follow along, learning about them! And when Samson uses his hands to eat ❤️
Wow those frogs have absolutely no idea about the amazing life that awaits them! I could watch your videos all day Tanner. Your animals are so lucky to have you
Idea: they live in rivers and streams of south america (specifically the amazon river basin)and they like slow moving water. so what im thinking is you make a stream type setup where the water circulates slowly, but enough to keep things clean, and make a stream system biotope. i think that would be epic.
That sounds great! It would be beautiful done by Tanner too.
Love your idea for MJ's tank... hoping the best for the Suriname toads, you might trigger some folks, but getting it done is paramount. I can't wait!
Pancake and Flapjack don't know how lucky they are to end up at the Serpa house! Can't wait to see the setup!🐸
Tanner,generally the quality of these videos comment out are fantastic and the confidence on camera is brilliant...keep it up.
They’re so cute. I know they are fortunate to come live with you.
Hey just wanted to say that back at the beginning of the year I was inspired by you and some other CZcamsrs to start my own aquarium. I got to say I am throughly in love with my animals and all the plants I have. These new frogs are so cool, and I cant wait to see them have babies possibly!
Best part of my Saturday morning is coming in from early morning chores in the barn and seeing a new Serpa video
Those toads are awesome! I'd never even heard of them before. And damn that new rack is playing havok with my imagination. As always, looking forward to seeing what's to come!
RIP MJ
Those frogs are so cool looking. I'm going to be getting a snake next year and have been watching your videos for inspiration on how to build the backgrounds and plant setups. I'm thinking of picking up a sheet of PVC to build the actual viv as it will probably be a high humidity requirement, and building a birch plywood cabinet with some solid wood on the faces. I've never worked with PVC before so it will be interesting to see how that goes. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for the effort and detail you put into your videos, it really helps.
I know this is gonna be a great video!!! Thank you Tanner!
I always thought these were so cool! Like you, I don't know much about them. I bet if you reach out to the amphibian department at your local zoo, they will have information that's not common knowledge on the net! Best of luck! I can't wait for updates!!!
Me: I hope my package gets shipped okay and doesn’t get smushed
My package: 4:40
I haven’t seen those before! It’s really awesome that you’re going with new frogs instead of replacing him!! I can’t wait to see an update with everything too:)
Wonderful video as always. Absolutely love these frogs, they are so unique!!
The way they breed is interesting. I'd like to see that process in a video, especially when they hatch!
I got SO EXCITED when i saw the silhouette! I am very hyped for an eventual breeding series about these guys.
Oooh yes! I saw your new tiktok vid featuring these lil cuties!😆
I've seen this video already but on rewatch little Henry saying "Peace" at the end really did make my day
Those toads are so unique. I have never seen. Can't wait fore the build. As always you know how to show good vids.
The always thought these toads were cool, but I'm more interested in that rack. Looks like it's going to be nice and looking forward to seeing your plans for each space
I love the Pipa Pipa! My dream toad. I knew what they were from the thumbnail. So glad to see you got some of these, and it'll be awesome to see how they do in the future!
I finally did it, I found the most wholesome channel!🤗
Pancake and Flapjack. Perfect! Those are some cool looking critters.
6:11 "and look at that face"
face: --_--
HAHAHAHA cuute
I had one of the fascinating toads for years. "Pip" lived for almost thirteen years and shared a 55 gallon tank with "Oscar" the Oscar Cichlid and "Zeb" the Zebra Knifefish. They all ate feeder golds, night crawlers, and any bugs I could catch around the porch light in the summer.
Dude your vids are amazing. For some of the new tanks you’ll be getting, of course if you don’t have a plan, you should let the subs pick an animal for you😁 (within reason lol)
Great video Tanner! Excited to ser what kinda set up are you gonna build for the new toads! Also that plywood rack looks great! I’m guessing gecko enclosures 🤔🤔🤔
That was fun to see the new toads. Also, I really like the new rack and enclosures.
They seem like the frog version of the mata mata turtle which is not super surprising when you realize they live in the same habitat in the same region of the world. It seems that both the mata mata turtles and the Suriname toad adapted to look like leaf litter in the water. It is awesome to know that the two species interact in the wild.
Thank you for the video! I am super excited to see the environment you create for these two frogs!
They look awesome!!! I love frogs!!
WOW Tanner. I remember watching a documentary about the Rio Negro about thirty years ago.
That was the first time I seen these Pipa toads (frogs;) They fascinated me back then, and still do. I Can't wait to see if you're successful breeding them. I'm stoked at these. So can only imagine how you feel. I'm sure you can spawn these. Good luck you lucky devil lol.👍🏼
Can't wait to see all of these new projects and to learn some more about pancake and flapjack!
Wow..so rare ...u r best hobbiest...lv to see your gallery everytime...lv to see new setup for new tankmate
Those are so adorable toads. Only frogs I ever seen where I live sold are African dwarf frogs and i have them as pets. I am also toad and frog person :) newts are cool to. Hope to see them again soon.
Wow those frogs are sooo cute like leaves.
Wow, I build the tanks myself also lately and I couldn't do it without your videos!! ✌️😎
O love those frogs. They are so cool looking. Good luck with them. I hope they breed and you show us when the babies come out.
I saw the thumbnail and was instantly like "Are those Surinam toads, how'd he find those!?" and got so excited! Congrats on finding these guys. I've always thought they were so cool!
Fun new format for your video! Really enjoyed!!
You came a long way, cheers! Def my fav nature channel.
I’m an ecology student and I caught two of these as a field assistant while electro fishing in a really shallow stream in the Ecuadorian Amazon! Super cool frogs
I had no idea these could be kept in captivity. I've seen plenty stuff on them in the wild, so it'll be super cool to see how yours do in captivity.
Great video! Have you ever considered keeping red salamanders in one of your builds? They’re so cool! Keep up the great work!
I'd love to see updates on your older tanks. just to see how they have established.
I cant wait to see what you put in those plywood tanks! Random question; have you ever considered keeping mourning geckos? i would love to see what kind of habitat you would build for them.
I'm most excited for another plywood vivarium build (hope you didn't need to use as many clamps in this one). Also, those toads are really cool!
I can't wait to see how they look in the setup! Things are looking so clean, very excited to see what's in store. By the way is there much of an update on the 250 gallon? I'd be curious to know how the tank is going, although I assume you'll wait until you put the BGK in right?
I have been filming stuff on the 350 since the last video and have it stocked already, but I was waiting to do the video. Still debating on if I should wait for the BGK or not. I will say though that the tank is doing incredibly well.
@@SerpaDesign awesome glad to hear it's doing well!
Wow... those are cool., they kinda appear like a bat... amazing! I will love watching them 👍
Amazing! Your work is great! Pipa sp. is super cute.
Right on!! Love pipa pipa!!
Flat Stanley was a book from my childhood very apt for these dudes hehe 😊👍🐸
You are crazy talented, great addition to the animal family and nice stand!
I never knew these cool little critters existed! I love their back feet, they're so big they remind me of umbrellas
