What is your favorite frog to keep as a pet? Do you think some frogs make better pet amphibians than others for beginner frog keepers? These 5 worst amphibians actually have better options and here they are. The Purple frog for example, from India is an amazing looking species but they hide so often, are so hard to find and overall do not make the best cold blooded pets. A white's tree frog on the other hand is much easier to keep, easier to find and cheaper too. Dumpy Tree Frogs make excellent pet frogs! Malayan Horned frogs or sometimes called leaf frogs are maybe the coolest frog on the planet but these big toad looking frogs do not make the best pets for beginner amphibian keepers for many reasons. A better and more common option might be Pacman frogs. These colourful amphibians come in many morphs and colors but are much easier to keep! Indian Bullfrogs have the most amazing vocal sac color and their frog call is absolutely beautiful. However, these bullfrogs likely will be hard to find, hard to breed in captivity and overall a better option might be the African Bullfrog. Pixie frogs make amazing captives and their massive size and appetite is absolutely amazing and so fun to keep as a pet. Vietnamese Mossy Frogs also make cool looking frogs byt are very shy. Looking for a crazy looking frog that is out and about? Try an Amazon Milk Frog! These medium sized hoppy bois are so cool and look like Panda Bears! Hairy Frogs, or often called Horror Frogs are insane! These guys break bones, grow hair looking skin and really, aren't great pets. Spanish ribbed newts maybe the best option here.

What is your favorite amphibian!?
My favorites would be frogs but specifically glass tree frogs and red eyed tree frogs! I have a pac man and plan on getting some whites tree frogs soon! Great video btw thank you!
I love to show my red eyed tree frogs to people just because they seem like they really shouldnt exist. (theres a video idea!) They can destroy their eyes just by eating too large meals. What a peculiar evolutionary dead end. Easy to care, when grown up. Absolute nightmare to search for tiniest crickets every day when they are really young. Where was I going with this...? Youre welcome.
I love frogs. I had some green tree frogs a looooong time ago and then stuck to frog plushies and figurines for the past 1-20 years. As of 10 days ago I again have 2 green tree frogs LOL
Idk. Either Japanese Giant Salamander or Goliath Frogs.
I got three highly social White's tree frogs as well as a large aquarium setup for my gang of seven (also) social African Dwarf Frogs. Such a joy to care for, as long as you know what you're doing.
If you want an animal because you're interested in his defense mechanisms please do not stress them out to make them do the trick. A lot of animals often live stressed lives because "haha watch it shoot blood out of his eyes"
agreed!
"haha isn't watching this hognose play dead adorable :D"
I agree! I love my frogs and would NEVER intentionally stress them out!
@@whisperingcrown591 hahaha the human thinks it's in Nam
Look at it shake and stare
@@VincentGonzalezVeg yeah pretty much
Purple frogs look like such little abominations of nature. I love them immediately. Just gods horrific insult to frogs.
hahahaa right!
i may be an abomination
but your my aMOMination!
@@Ash_Wynn yooo owl house reference
now i just wanna protect them xD theyre so goofy looking
😂 lol
Usually,when I look at a frog or toad,I'm filled with a sense of childish joy,purple frogs invoke the opposite feeling
same!
Same lmao purple frogs are so ugly to me
Purple frogs still look neat. Budget frogs (look it up) are the ones I don't like.
@I am a cat myself
Don't fear budget frogs, just find them unpleasant, haha. But if you like them, I respect that. They're my least favourite species of a creature I really like but it's not like I hate them as I do cockroaches or dogs.
@@Wiziliz I find them quite interesting, they’re essentially angry pancakes that scream at you. I personally wouldn’t want one, but I’d love to see one
I love my pacman - his name is Trubbish and I’d die for his lazy, boring, rotund self. Though, any frog is worth dying for, tbh
Except that hairy frog. That is vile.
hahahaha, Vile Hairy Frog!
Does your PacMan do that crazy screaming noise if its peed off or grumpy I have a friend and he’s goes nuts you think he’s going to explode sometimes but there absolutely hilarious you so lucky to have one I’m hoping to get one of my own in the not to distant future
Another Pokémon name lol
I won't disagree with you, but how are folks over looking the newt that projects its BROKEN RIBS as a defense mechanism?!? That's some Full Metal Alchemist crap right there!
@@sharonpaterson1281 they are all different and each have different personalities. Mine was kept in front at the petstore on the cash register table. He probably had lots of human interaction that way because he's extremely friendly, doesn't bite or make any aggressive noises when I touch him or pick him up to clean his enclosure.
So my conclusion, it depends on the pacman frog and where you purchase it from/raised. The more isolated from people growing up the more defensive they're going to be towards us :) if yours ends up aggressive dont worry just be patient and in a year or two it can grow to trust you with the right care :)
That poor purple frog...just...unfortunate LOL. I do like those White's Tree Frog though. They are lovely.
Thank you! 😊
Agreed... Fugly frog 😅😭
And look up Adult whites tree frogs....they aren't very cute all...Wrinkly either 😅 but that's just imo
That’s what evolution has decided it needs to look like 😂
@@laobejanegra926 I like that pale greenish-white color...it's one of those paler colors hard to replicate outside of nature.
@@imperialgirl4858 right? I like the colors... I'm just not a fan of the skin folds when they are adults 😅
Green Tree/Dumpys are the best! I agree about the handling, when you do pick them up (which shouldn't happen much) they seem to respond really well to it and they're extremely charismatic.
100%
My friends dumpy frog tries to eat her fingers
What? A frog with a dumpy???
@@umamifan Desert rain frogs have dumpies it's wild man
I had one that I occasionally took to my job as a high school biology teacher. Most the kids didn't even want to touch him so that wasn't a problem, but if I had him sitting in the middle of a table with everyone gathered around to observe him eating or whatever, he would hear the sound of my voice wherever I was standing, turn to face me, and leap onto me. Every. Dang. Time.
I'm a fish guy, I don't keep reptiles or amphibians, however, I love the content you provide. Well done!
Awesome! Thank you!
Purple frogs: "Thank you?"
Oh you're a fish guy? Name every species
I keep everything. Dogs cats fish reptiles imphibians rodents rabbits birds farm animals you name it. I have 100 pets right now actually.
“They look kind of like pandas, they’re a similar size-“
My brain: *the frog is the size of a bear*
I love that!
That caught me too
Diamond acting up cuz he reminding you that HE is the main host and you are his shiny headed co-host 👨🏻🦲🦖
he's the man!
@@WickensWickedReptiles Diamond needs to get His Own Show.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
It’s a bearded dragons world, we’re just living in it 😉 mine reminds me everyday haha
"they kinda look like pandas, a bit, they're a similar size" do I know you're comparing them to the mossy frogs? yes. am I now imagining a panda sized frog? absolutely.
tbh I'm not sure if I'm intrigued or terrified. actually wait, after playing FFXIV I'm probably gonna go with terrified lol, their giant frogs are the stuff of nightmares lmao🤣🤣
hahahaha imagine a bear sized froggo
@@WickensWickedReptiles their hops would be like mini earthquakes
@@WickensWickedReptiles that would be awesome 🤣 maybe it's tamed, like in the game ARK "just to ride"
Considering most frogs will eat just about anything they can fit in their mouths that moves in front of them the idea of a panda sized frog is absolute nightmare fuel to me.
But then I often catch my gray tree frogs lunging at their siblings so...
Also a good tip for beginners.
Dont get a baby, get an subadult or adult frog.
You cant really treat parasites on frogs, so when you get a baby thats full of worms cause the breeder doesn keep an eye on it it will probably die.
If the breeder or store managed to raise it to a certain size, its a good sign that the animal is healthy and the seller knows what he/she is doing.
I think this is why my wild caught American toads all died. The ONLY ONE that survived was the most mature/adult toad of the bunch. I'm so sad and I miss them everyday. But I still have big poppa 😢 he's a strong little dude.
The purple frog looks like the Blob Fish cousin. Bless it's heart.
hahahaha YES!
Diamond was something else today & I enjoyed it! Much to Adam’s dismay😂
he's a wild one Stephany!
@@WickensWickedReptiles It’s your reaction & editing to Diamond that make my day so thank you!
I’m in the process of taming a baby beardie so I feel you; it’s fun tho, makes me think about how Steve Irwin felt in the wild messing with lizards🤣
@@WickensWickedReptiles Diamond Loves chewing human ears.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
I’m absolutely living for Diamond trying to nose dive off your shoulder. Especially with the little “weeee” you added in the one shot 😂 haha
I absolutely adore my pacman. So fat and round. So fun to feed. Definitely expanding my frog collection someday.
Great recommendations! As someone who has kept horned frogs, White's and milk frogs, you pretty much hit the mark. One species I was disappointed not to see was fire-bellied toads. Seriously underrated! Everything about them is inexpensive, they have a pleasant call and the coloration rivals some dart frogs. Also very active during the day, which is rewarding for beginners in the hobby.
My mother owned some when I was a small kid! They were my absolute favorite to look at
I had 2 that became escape artists!
The whee when diamond jumped the second time and Adams expression had me laughing
he's wild!
It didn't have me laughing at all. Jumping from that height is dangerous
@@dragonspirit1185 beardies are tougher than you'd think. But diamond shouldn't do it too often off course. And when he lands bad then it is dangerous indeed. But for a few times on day a year is okay right?
I've got several of these animals:
I own a breeding pair of Vietnamese Mossy frogs (Theloderma corticale). I don't yet have amazon milk frogs, but they are on my list. I find the mossy frogs to be generally quite cryptic, they stay hidden most of the time unless stressed or feeding. They don't seem to rely on their camouflage that much, preferring to stay in the water and just cling to plants and wood. They do go through more gregarious periods, but generally, their flightiness takes over. That being said, I also now have over 20 tadpoles from them with more on the way. They are prolific breeders.
White's tree frogs are great, but best if you have a red night light to watch them hunt when they are awake. I've got three and they are fantastic pets that require almost no maintenance outside of feeding and scrubbing shed skin off of the glass. Bioactive enclosures make it so the poop just sort of disappears mostly.
Spanish ribbed newts are awesome too. I own 10 of them in my breeding colony, and they are by far the easiest aquatic animal I've ever owned. Extremely hardy, very robust, "playful", amorous and inquisitive, often coming to the glass of the tank to investigate me when I walk in the room. Probably expecting food, but not always as those same inquisitive newts will sometimes ignore the food in favour of staring at me and following me around.
I've got a pixie frog, and while I agree that feeding one is certainly a fun thing to do, I'll also add that they are the only amphibian I've encountered that you can actually build an owner-pet relationship. Something nearly on par with a cat or dog. Indeed I think if you can figure out the right incentive and strategy, they might even be smart enough to be trained to do simple tricks (trying to come up with a method now, just to see). Mine has proven to be an avid problem solver (gradually weakening the lid on his tub of a course of a couple months till the screen came loose so he could escape), and discerning eater, often conveying displeasure when I try to feed him food other than superworms. He knows not to bite me, but treats others as dangerous or hostile. He willingly comes and sits in my presence when I give him free roaming time (which I highly recommend, so long as the floor or environment is free of toxic chemicals). I try not to read into things too much, but I am almost certain that the inner life of a Pixie is a tad more complex than a lot of other amphibians.
thanks for adding this!
Write a book
@@dylan251 lol
Would love to hear if you do some frog training. I am sure you can do target training with them, and I am curious what else you can do
Omg how? How did you get your hands on a female? I have a lovely, lonely male mossy tree frog that I’d love to get a mate for, however, the sex ratio is so skewed even in perfect rearing temperature ranges. Any tips?
“He thinks everything shiny is food… including my head.”
i love when Diamond jumps you put funny sounds like, “weee”
he's adorable
I personally recommend grey treefrogs :) I've been keeping them since my early teens they are great and extremely adaptable in terms of temp and humidity. Beautiful camouflage looking like treebark, slight color changing too. Do well with gentle handling but of course you dont want to do so too often. They are my FAVORITE
Really interesting list and you should do this for lizards and one for snakes
for sure!
My 10yo daughter wants to propose a video- the 5 coolest tongues 🤷♀️ every time she sees me watching a video she asks if I told you her idea yet 😜
Her proposal is based on her new watersnake that has a 2 colour tongue and our Schneider skink’s big pink tongue.
I was fortunate enough to get 6 CB Malaysian Horned Frog's early this year. Been my dream frog for thirty years, set them up in a bioactive terrarium, and they have done great. It will be interesting to see if they show any signs of breeding naturally, but I already have males honking.....so fingers crossed.
that is amazing!
I have an American Toad that I raised from a tadpole. He is really easy to care for and a pretty chill little guy.
wicked!
I've wanted a whites tree frog for sooo long. They're one of my favorite species
same!
i have three! they are such amazing pets! i would 100% recommend getting one, just do research to make sure it’s the right frog for you, i do however think they do better in groups of two to four.
I love frogs! Probably my all time favourite animals and I can't believe I don't have any tree frogs (come close a couple of times). I think you are probably well past the 'do I have a zoo? question.😁
yea... wait til you see this insane thing I just bought....
I definitely want to add a few more species of tree frogs. One day at a time.
"Number three"
Diamond jumps
"Number three"
Diamond bites
"Stop doing that! Just because it's shiny it doesn't mean it's food! Anyway, number three"
RUclips add
I will never learn about the number three, will i? 😆
Number three is big secret
I giggled out loud to that "whee!" Sound effect when Diamond leapt away the last time. He believes he can fly! Lol
I can't believe red eyed tree frogs weren't on this 🤣 I adore mine! Their so easy to care for and wonderful to watch at night
they are so fun eh!
I’ve always wanted a red eye tree frog! So beautiful
For beginners, all amphibians that require either a lot of climbing space or a filtered water feature that isnt a water ball is probably not that great. Thats why a lot of toads are just great! I think most of them dont climb that much and water bowl is almost always good enough. Plus they are very easy to feed (biggest problem is overfeeding them). Add to that the price for them which is usually quite low and the price of their enclosure (which can be very very cheap for toads that require no additional heating).
Great video as always btw
fair!
@@WickensWickedReptiles toad episode when? lol. Do you have any toads in your collection/
Toads are cool.
I got a Pac-Man frog in December and he is already my husband's favorite animal in the house. Today, he spent the entire day staring at me. He's a good, round boi.
I had to do a presentation on logistics and present it in front of all my classmates AND teachers. I added a slide I made as a joke and meant to take out, and my teacher made me show it to everyone in the class. It was just a really long description and overlook of everything you need to know about the Purple Frog, and I presented last, so the entire last minutes of class- as well as walking out and the next class walking in- was just this huge, decorative slide on Purple Frogs. In a college credit class, learning about logistics.
I have a pair of vietnamese mossy frogs. I absolutely love their calls and barks at night. I have moving water in the enclosure and i love seeing them as little moss blobs on their driftwood and cork bark tubes. Real easy to take care of if youre experienced in caring for frogs & toads.
Ha! The hairy frog should be called a werefrog 😆
insane froggo eh
Hahha cute
Love your channel! I'm going to be living in an RV pretty soon and I'm researching what kind of pets I'd be able to keep in a small space like that. Just came here after the "3 reasons bearded dragons don't make great beginner pets" video and it seems like they're definitely too big. It's nice hearing how passionate you are about your reptile and amphibian friends. Your videos are longer but no time is wasted.
Even if I don't end up getting a reptile or amphibian your channel is still very informative and entertaining so thanks for all the effort you put into these.
I don't know how I got here, or the slightest thing about frogs, but you seem to really know what you're talking about! Living around amphibians and reptiles seems like quite a dedicated way of life, but an enjoyable one indeed! Sadly, I have no clue where to start looking for my perfect amphibian/reptile companion, or much about how to care for them. I think I'm going to stick around for a while and learn about these beautiful creatures. Thanks for sparking this newfound interest in me!
As a beginner frog owner, this really helps me get an idea of what I can and should get in the future before stepping up to anything more advanced, so thanks!👍
A Pac-Man frog was my first, and I love him so much :). After 6 months of research and waiting for captive bred mossy frogs. I have 4 coming next week, so excited.
I absolutely love amphibians and reptiles and can’t wait to own some soon, and I CANT BELIEVE I haven’t seen or heard about you videos until now!! I adore how you layout your information, and you’ve definitely earned a new subscriber :DD
thank you so much!
the crestie climbing in the background was very cute
he's a cutie
Cool variety of frogs. That's cool how the giant bullfrog will create a path for the tadpole babies to swim into a larger pool of water, as she sits there to be sure it's working.
As he sits there. It's the males that stay behind and watch the eggs/tadpoles. Until old enough to hop their asses off on their own
"Am I going to have a zoo soon?"
Stares straight into the camera
"AM I?"
Love your top/bottom lists! Thank You for sharing!
I have two leucistic Iberian/Spanish Ribbed Newts, Millie & Rico. I LOVE THEM! VERY easy to care for, were not expensive to purchase and they're freaking adorable!!
Great video. I've been thinking a lot about getting a frog recently and this has given me some good ideas.
Go for it!
Yessss! I loved that you featured frog wolverine and rib-popping newt! Those amphibians are so badass.
wicked phibs
I literally love frogs and have wanted one for YEARS
Thanks for the video :) I appreciate the advice!
Loved your videos, your beardie, and all of the information you shared!!
So glad!
the african bullfrog is my dream amphibian. probably one of the best frogs to keep in captivity
I might be a bit weird in this regard, but I LOVE the idea of having a bunch of animals with extreme cameoflage. I love images of things like moss on rocks, so the idea of that image coming to life, or slightly changing because apparently it's actually an animal.... That's AMAZING to me.
Killer shirt!!! I need to find one like it! By the way I just found this channel and I can certainly say I love your liveliness and how willing you are to share information and correcting yourself if its wrong!;)
Amazingly well done video, super informative and entertaining! Thank you. :)
Adam: " there kinda like pandas and a similar size''
Me: you said the whites tree frog was one of the biggest frogs...
hahahaha!
I was surprised goliath frogs weren't mentioned here. How do they do as pets? I already know they're endangered in the wild
That's not a frog, it's a yokai at that point.
Also the fact that last time I checked tadpoles can’t survive in captivity because their diet consist of this one red algae that only grows from waterfalls…
It’s too big for an enclosed space just looking at it. Which mean climate control probably would be pretty difficult. Or uncomfortable for the owner.
Thanks so much! Im looking into buying a green tree frog and I've watched many care videos, this helped out :)
Loved this video! So many new species for me here! I love white tree frogs i think theyre so cool but i also love poison dart frogs (especially bumblebee ones), i also did my college dissertation on them which was really fun!
Adam is just as awesome irl. Amazing person!!
I know you are but what am I!?
@@WickensWickedReptiles hahaha been years bro!! So proud of your hard work!!!
Love the video! Can’t wait to see next weeks surprise!!!
I'm not even sure how I got onto that video but your presentation skills and personality had me watching the whole video while I crafted! Just wanted to let you know! Thoroughly enjoyed. 😃👌
Wow, thank you!
Milk frogs kind of Look like pandas are a similar size, I am all like, wait what? Oh similar size to a mossy frog, thinking that was a huge frog. 😆
Bear Frog can't hurt you bro!
I feel like you should have included one Reptile on the list, just to keep with tradition. Great Video brother!
Just found this channel. Have to say I love it so far, pretty cool and educational
Glad you enjoy it!
Awesome video Adam u are helping me find out about new reptiles and amphibians I can keep
As a frog fan from nearly birth I can say that these are some great recommendations for beginners, I have two whites tree frogs and they’re so great, I hope to soon get a milk frog and maybe a bio active setup going for some dart frogs but I can hands down say all the recommended frogs are great I had a pacman when I was 8 that got so big we could feed them pinkies for its birthday and Christmas 🤣 loved that dude!
Update: got another Pac-Man cause there was a big chonky one at petco they were selling at 50% off and I got em at gave em a nice pretty home right next to the whites which is now bio active🤙
Hairy frogs are fascinating, first learnt about them reading Gerald Durrell books and have always been intrigued. I would love to have some Amazon Milk frogs as they are beautiful
100%
You rock. You are funny. And you are very generous with your knowledge. Thanks dude.
I sure do love my pacman frog, thanks for all the educational content, love learning so much about one of my favorite subjects.
Pacman frogs are underrated :D
The spanish rib newt, or, as we call it here in Spain, the "gallipato", is an endangered species that is being recovered in its natural habitats thanks to programs of breeding and releasing. I had no idea they were kept as pets across the pond! I thought that they were overlooked, which would be sad, because they are REALLY cool!
Is amazing how many animals that are endangered in their home environment are breeding profusely in captivity elsewhere!
I just recently discovered black rain frogs or desert rain frogs and the noise they make is hilarious!
hahahha so cool!
A small frog was just spotted in the small pond I built during lockdown so I’m super happy that I am helping wild frogs even if I don’t do so well with captive ones!
I love your vids there soooooo helpful i'm getting a frog tomorrow and this helped me soooo much thanks!!!!!!
So the biggest thing id like to know about these frogs is how loud are they?
most arenot super bad
That good all my reptiles are in my bedroom and crickets are bad enough.
I have 4 whites tree frogs, and they’re super quiet. My males aren’t too vocal, but when they like to sing they’re quieter than my phone ringer on max volume.
You should do a video like top 5 of certain kinds of reptile like you’ve done with skinks and frogs. Top 5 agamids or top 5 boas would be really cool!
maybe!
Thanks this video really helped!
Your videos are awesome and keep up the good work 🙌
I never owned any amphibian before, but I would still love to own a mossy frog someday! I've grown with reptiles, amphibians, spiders/tarantulas, and other creepy crawlies. I also owned some snakes and lizards in the past. I currently own a snow leopard gecko....my baby boy
Hmm I would actually keep for my first frog an African dwarf frog , but despite the mossy frog being on the top 5 frogs not for beginners I would not mind not seeing it as I would appreciate its camouflage ability so I would consider getting it too.
Except for the newt, all your alternatives are literally my favorites. I think I'll be super happy when I finally get my first frog.
Love your content!!
I have two beautiful whites that I’ve had almost two years. I have a big tank just begging to be filled with frogs, so I’ve been looking at options. Amazon milk frogs are definitely front runners
That is awesome!
“Am I going to have a zoo.”
Yes. Absolutely! The way you talk about so many different animals is so nice and fun. You really have a passion ^.^!!
I would also love a care guide for a white’s tree frog :3!
I really really want to get a nice pair! I know there’s tons of care guides, but I honestly love all your videos and opinions on everything ^.^
This channel and Clint reptiles are my go to keep it up it great content
I just found you. I've been looking into frogs and your videos have helped greatly!
Just gotta say, I LOVE my Vietnamese Mossy Frog. I just need to find her a mate (That's right, I got a girl! If you know you know.). She's so amazing to just watch and I especially love watching her explore her new setup I gave her after he quarantine period.
Great to hear!
@@WickensWickedReptiles I strongly agree with you ! VMF's are so cool-looking !
Can’t wait to see what you got!
it's wild!
love your channel. My favorite amphibian is the Great Plains Toad.
Good content very informative.
I read about the Hairy Frog years ago. I guess one of its common names where it comes from translates to "the frog that will scratch you like a cat". They grow hair, too. I'm gonna start calling them Cat Frogs.
I wanted a Pacman Frog, and I'm probably going to get one eventually, but I'm completely captivated by the idea of an African Bullfrog now. Reading up on them here, they sound like a dream. I'm not the only one who has dreams about being friends with giant frogs, right?
Maybe a top 5 oddball Reptiles would be an interesting video ?
wicked idea!
I DO dig those Mossy Frogs! I have a paludarium image in my mind, where half the fun of having it is finding the little critters! Im talking live plants, bioactive substrate on the land section, cleanup crew, etc!
love your channel ❤ love this list 🐸
Glad you enjoy it!
Another frog to avoid would be those chubby round rain frogs...
Although they look super cute and they make super cute noises...
They also hide about 95% of the time!
have you owned one?
@@parkerb9262 no, I wouldn't even attempt it. I did do a little bit of research, and it's pretty obvious these are not something most people should try keeping.
I'm not an amphibian person. But if I were to get an amphibian, it'd be an Amazon Milk Frog. They look so cool, and it would make a great display animal.
Great video. Definitely have never heard of some of these bad frogs.
Adam: Am I going to have a zoo?
Me: Yes! Do it! Be the next Snake Discovery!
Milk frogs are god 𓆏
Thanks for the awesome video. African Bullfrogs are by far my favorite frog! Not only are they extremely fun to watch eat and also an impressive size, they also live a very long time! I love having pets that I can keep for decades. I've had mine for 15 years so far!
Well done
Wow!
Awesome video very helpful
What's your opinion on Budgett's Frog?
I plan on getting a Budgett's, Giant African, and a horned when I do decide on a pet. They're all metal. Along with a cockroach farm.
Also, surprised you didn't go with starry night Reed frogs as an alternative to anything, since they're a beautiful small tree frog.
I don't really know much about them to be honest
@@WickensWickedReptiles you should look into them, they're like if you combined a milk frog with a poison dart frog. So for example, they're similarly sized to a small dart frog, but can eat stuff like baby dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae, and other more normal feeders.
@@WickensWickedReptiles and in my opinion similarly beautiful to those two, and I feel like those three are some of the prettiest frogs kept in captivity by people s lot.
Liked what you had to say and it does help me choose a new frog
I've seen the documentary that the african bullfrog footage came from, and fun fact: the males care for the tadpoles, and they're pretty great daddies. The footage shows a male african bullfrog digging a canal for his tadpoles to access a larger body of water, as the water in their smaller water hole was evaporating. The african bullfrog daddy noticed this, and preemptively dug the canal, so his little babies could get to safety. Amazing.
pacman frog would have eaten them.
