i was wondering what are the best type of frogs to keep as pets. i was considering on buying ethier a pacman frog, cane toad, pixie frog or firebelly frogs. which is the best? i also planned on buying a 65 gallon aquarium for whatever animal i decide, and i kno pacman frogs dont need that big of space, but idk what i should do. let me kno what u think. thanks!
Well i think a Whites tree frog would be the best frog to buy, with that size tank that u could have three of them living in heaven( A good place to buy them at is Sandfire™ Dragon Ranch) they are very cute, can be handeled and very easy to take care of, i have 3! Not very active but at night its cool. i would recommend hand feeding, it creates a bond between you and the frogs. If you have any questions ask me, i am a herpetology graduate. But also another Great frog would be the RED EYED TREE FROG, i have 2 of these. not too hard to take care of and very beautiful! Every one says theyr challanging, but theyr really not. Just only handle when ABSOLUTLY needed. A 65 gallon should hold 5 to 7 or mabey even 10(it good to say about 5 gallon per frog) easily but they really need at least one cagemate. If u have any questions just post them and i will try to respond ASAP. Hoped this Helped! ^_^
wow, thanks i appreciate ur knowledge! i never knew that whites tree frogs were good pets. i kno some about them but i didnt kno they were the best to keep. thanks a bunch! and thats awesome ur a herpatolgy grad.. thats what i wanna do, but it seems hard, was it hard for you? u seem quite intelligent but this is my passion and ive always wanted to be in the herpatolgy field. keep in touch! thanks
Fire Bellied Toads are a pretty easy to keep. White's tree frog the same. With Fire Bellied Toads you need a water/land setup, and with White's tree frogs, you need you need a taller setup, so the frogs can climb.
I plan On getting some Fire Bellied Toads at the end of the summer. Im going to get 4 or 5 for my 29 gallon. I like them for the ease of a nice water/land set up. I like the way it looks. I was going to get vietnamese Mossy Frogs but Im going to start with the Cheapies. If I were going to get one of the larger toads though I would get a Giant Marine toad (cane toad) They are pretty neat, get huge, and are alittle more active than your average horned or pixie Frogs

I thought it was somewhat challanging but i was into this since i was 11 and had all those years to study. I would recomend the whites or Red eyes 100% Whites Seem to be easier and have Cute smiles, which would appeal to youger children. But Red eyes are great to get once you become into it!
whats ur setup look like for ur whites tree frogs? are these frogs somewaht active? i was readin about poision dart frogs and they say there cool pets, but seem to expensive. but did u pay alot to get ur tank all set up for ur whites tree frogs?i just need some ideas on what i wanna do so it looks awesome.
well i put lots of live plants in, they seem to like them more than branches but branches are fine too. since yur cage is so big u can make one side full of plants and stuff, and the other just with moss or somthing. i use a big waterdish(heres a tip. buy 2 water dishes because you shud clean one out with little soap every day and leave it out to dry for a day) misting 3 or more times a day is needed. 60 watt normal house bulb will do fine(in summer turn them on in morn' for 2-3 hr's then lave off for rest of the day) not active but can be handled more than other frogs.try to hand feed. i would reccomend jungle bricks for subtrate if u have life plants, also buy bark chips for drainage when u water the plants umm, i did not pay to much, the cage i have(big exo-terra with opening doors) was $110(i have 4 of them) but every thing else wasnt too much. ok... im done!

Fire bellied toads are far better. Got some my self. Brilliant and so fasinating.You will not need that bigger tank. 40 gallons will do.
