the species name is Megophrys nasuta. can you even get them in the et trade?

Hi Noodle,

They are more commonly called Malaysian Leaf Frogs. They are available from time to time. Not sure how well they do in captivity. It seems they really need to be left alone as much as possible yet need to be kept clean for th efirst few months to clean up parasite loads. make them harder to acclimate. Make sure you get as haevy a frog as you can should you decide to keep them. I've never seen cb of them offered : (

You already know the difficulty with wc frogs from your next post about the sick tomato frog. Tomatos are now available cb but not a lot yet. Acclimate OK if kept super clean to begin (first 3 or 4 months). Yours may be parasite loaded and wont be much you can do. Try warming it up 5 degres and keep it super clean. Good luck but dont expect too much. Try emailing sandfire dragon ranch they captive breed tomatos.

Regards,
John

It very simplistic but gives you an idea

i dont know where you are but my local pet store has had one in there for over a month for abou $50. i dont know if he is still there or not, i forgot to look last weekend. they do turn up every now and then tho. i would go to a herp show or see if a pet store could have one special ordered for you.
