I've never heard of that frog...prbably did but under different name. Did you already get it? I would suggest you read up on it as much as possible. There are books out there that will help you...books published by Barron's publishing corperation are good. Why don't you go to the book store or the library? Mostly like the the book store will carry them, or you can stick around for other people to reply to your question.

This is probably Phrynomerus bifasciatus or Red-banded Crevice Creeper or Rubber frog, related to the Red-backed Crevice Creeper, Phrynomerus microps. The care of either is similar. They are highly poisonous, so shouldn't be kept with other frogs. They need a moist planted terrarium with a substrate of sphagnum and riversand, or I think Bed-a-beast might also do. They are nocturnal, like to dig and excavate burrows. They need some misting in the evenings, and humidity with temperatures around 79 degrees. They will eat crickets, waxworms, ants and termites.

I'm citing references here, and have no first hand experience with them But this gives you the probable species name, Phrynomerus bifasciatus, that you can look up on the net for further information. The photo I have is of a dark frog with two linear red stripes down either side and some red spots on the legs. The origin is SE Africa.

I agree with the last post, they are also called red and black walking frogs. I have three that live in a ten gallon with bed a beast and moss bedding. They like to burrow in the moss and prefer cooler temps. I keep the moss pretty damp. They are pretty easy to care for and undemanding. They resemble salamnders more than frogs to me.

They are also called Banded Rubber Frogs. Their scientific name is Phrynomantis bifasciatus, so I would try to search under that.
