Red+Black Walking Frogs

[Jumpshot724]

Does anyone have any experience with these? I saw them in Petco the other day and also on ReptileDepot. I've done some googling but I can't find anything helpful. I would really like to aquire these guys sometime either this May or June so I would like to start aquiring information on them now so I can properly take care of them. Thanks!!

Are these them?



If so they are (Kassina maculata) Reg legged Walking Frogs from Tanzania
Theres not much out there on them. I have searched forums and haven't had much luck find info on them.

I keep five in a 20 Gallon Long.

Here are a few shots of thier current tank.

No that's not them. The ones I saw were predominetly deep black with bright blood red markings. They KIND of looked like African Snake Necked frogs but with a little less of the red.

Definately not the same frogs. I have never seen them at my Petco.

Yea that's the problem, I can't find any information on them. All I know is that Petco and ReptileDepot labels them as "African Red and Black Walking Frogs", and that they look like that picture above. I even emailed ReptileDepot asking about them but, no response.

that's a coincidence.

i saw one in a pet store close to me yesterday. had a good look at it, it has developed toe pads and looks to be a small arboreal form, but i can't find any info on them either, the one i saw was about an inch long and looked very much like a thin dart frog (bodily dimensions wise) with toe pads just like your pic.

they are some thing which has been misidentified i would think because the red legged running frog is the larger african frog which looks a lot like a barking tree frog but has bright orange/ red tiger stripes along the tops of it's legs.
and is the one shown in the other pics from jpstod on here
