Any of the larger species such as azureus, auratus, leucs, or tincs make good beginner frogs. You would be better off with a larger terrarium, especially for adults. I would use a minimum of a 10 gallon for 2 frogs, with a larger tank being better. A glass canopy will help keep the humidity up. I have some basic care info on my website. I think that dart frogs are easier to keep than chameleons so it shouldn't be hard for you to keep them. They are lower maintenance and cheaper to feed.
