I have a group of 6 Phyllomedusa bicolor. I have had them since June and purchased them as acclimated and treated wild caught adults. They were treated by the original owner's vet with Baytril and topical anitbiotics for noserubs. Only one of them required another treatment after I got them and is doing fine now. I found that soaking them in a methylene blue solution helped with their noserubs and skin scrapes. I am keeping them in a 175 reptarium, but am getting ready to move them into a 150 gallon tank that I am converting to a rainchamber.
They are definately not a beginner frog, but with proper care and careful monitering they should do well. Recently someone was selling CB babies which is a better choice than wild caught adults. Also be willling to devote alot of space to them. You can see pictures of mine on my website.
