The photos and the fragging were done by WHO DEY.
here are the directions I gave him when he asked how to frag it.
pick a branch that has more than 2 inches of bare skeleton below the head. hold it by the branch and the main colony trying not to grip the tissue at all because this can bruise it and cause reccesion. then snap it off as Far from the head as possible, the flesh extends down inside the skeleton about an inch or more, so you want to nmake the break as far as possible from the head to prevent damaging the tissue inside the skeleton. I would make the break as clost to a branching intersection as possible (its usually the easiest place to snap it any how. if you have a fine toothed band saw or a dremel or tile saw you can use that to cut the skeleton usually works best. Do not use pliers or snips as it tends to crush the skeleton potentially damaging the tissue inside. some people reccomend snips for this I dont. sawing or snapping has yeilded the best results for me.
Here are two pictures the first is the colony that he snapped it off
the second is the frag, as you can see on the original colony the skeleton at the break is white with no tissue left behind indicating the break is far enough back from the head to not leave tissue behind.
Lets hear it for WHO DEY's first frogsapwn fraggin attempt, I deem the operation a success. Thanks for helping the thread on fragging WHO DEY!
once mine is ready to frag I will add pictures to show the intermidiate steps.
