Frogs, Plants, and Stuff!!

[noobie]

Well I am new to this as a few of you have seen in my intro and after a few days of browsing the threads I have decided that I need to start out simple and go from there. So beings I was going to do this for my son ( 3 years old) he seems to really like the frog idea now what?

I want it to be fun for my son as well can anyone suggest a fog that is active, not tooo expensive, and for a beginner? I have been browsing craigslist for a deal on a tank and there are lots out there, but I wanted to get some input on size first. What would be good for a starter tank and some frogs? I know that the pictures of the Yellow Banded Dart Frogs are very impressive.

Any suggestions?

I know that Tigger legged frogs are pretty active during the day when your son will want to "look at the froggies!" They are pretty low maintenance...about the same as White's tree frogs, which are great for beginners. White's are pretty sleepy during the day though! the tiger legged frogs are sometimes referred to as Tanzanian Tiger Legged Tree Frogs...when you type "tiger legged frog" into google images, its the brown one with red thighs, NOT the waxy monkey kind that looks like a red eyed tree frog without the red eyes! I have a 4 Year old brother so I KNOW your son will love them! they also are pretty accepting of being handled occasionally (maybe 1-3 times a week) without jumping around. maybe have a "frog day" with him?

Thanks for the suggestion! I know that my son would love to be able to hold them too and low maintenance sounds good to me.
