Ive had experience with different herps over the years, currently I have 5 turtles and a bearded dragon. I would like to add some frogs to my collection. My interest is in the tomato frogs and the chubs, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with these species, and anything I should look out for. They will be housed in a 20 gallon long with about 3 inches of potting soil and moss, large but shallow water bowl, and multible hiding spots. Mixture of live foods, tank temp being around 75-80 F, and of course a UV light. If any of that sounds incorrect please let me know and any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, sorry so long.

My chubbys spend the whole day and sometimes the whole night in the dirt buried, but they are fun to watch hunt at night, sometimes i only know they were up b/c there is dirt in the water bowl. good luck

I have a chubby frog and agree that they aren't real active. I am not sure I would do it again, but they are cool looking. Mine buries itself with it's head strait up out of the soil. When a cricket comes by, it snags it with its tongue while barely moving anything else. It's pretty impressive. If you get a tomato, please tell us aboout it. Your environment would be the same as mine, and I've had success with it.
