Property declaration not honored?

I'm getting stuck on 'submit work / recheck work' - it doesn't seem to reflect there's a property being declared. Am I missing something?

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        private int _numFliesEaten;

        public int NumFilesEaten {
            get
            {
              return _numFliesEaten;
            }
            set
            { 
              _numFliesEaten = value;
            }
        }
    }
}

Adam, one small typo. So close!! It's NumFliesEaten, not NumFilesEaten, although files may be better tasting than flies:

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        private int _numFliesEaten;

        public int NumFliesEaten
        {
            get
            {
                return _numFliesEaten;
            }
            set
            {
                _numFliesEaten = value;
            }
        }
    }
}

Wow, thank you - I must have been running on autopilot. "Learn Python," they said, "EVERYBODY does file read/write all the time, it'll become second nature!" they said.
