Anyone keeping this type of frog? How easy are they to care for?
Any info would be great.

Thanks

i have three of these in a 30 gallon long aquarium and they are probably one of the easiest frogs ive kept.. my setup is a heavily planted bog type with about 4 inches of water and some land areas covered in java moss, they camoflague themselves in the moss during the day and spend a lot of time in the water.. when i bought them the guy who sold them to me told me to keep them in similar conditions to firebelly toads.. ive never had any problems with them not eating.. i keep the temp at 78-80 and humidity around 80%.. ive had my three for about a year and a half now.. so if you have any specific questions i might be able to answer them .. also, the newest issue of reptiles magazine has an article devoted to thier care and breeding ..

I noticed your list of animals didn't include a "partridge in a pear tree".
You cetainly have a nice collection!
Are they all housed in one area? With all those different breeds of frogs, do you have multiple tanks as well? If you have pics of your setups, it would be fun to see them.

i basically have a basement that doubles as a zoo... for the most part i only keep species tanks.. with a few exceptions of frogs that come from the same region.. at this point i think i have about 15 tanks setup for frogs, turtles or geckos.. ranging from 5 gallons to 72 gallon.. we are moving soon so most of the larger tanks are going to have to be dismantled ... i was planning on taking pics of them before i did that anyway.. ill try to post some in the near future..
