Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hey, all.

I'm fairly well versed in care for snakes, mainly ball pythons. My girlfriend loves the balls to death, but her roommates have expressly forbidden her to get one. Not cool. BUT ANYWAY.

She wants to get some kind of amphibian as a pet, and I thought I'd come to the experts here to get a good idea of what to recommend. Something inexpensive and somewhat easy to care for would be best, but a garden variety toad probably wouldn't be interesting enough. If it's a little flashier, that'd be great. ...My first thought was a firebelly toad. Any thoughts? Recommendations?

Please sound off! Let me know what you guys think.

I would go with a fire bellied toad, they are extremely hardy and cheap and don't call loudly. Whites treefrogs are a close second though, but they need a larger tank and the males can be quite loud.

Any opinions about red-eyed tree frogs? She's expressed an interest in those, too.

I would not consider red-eyeds beginner frogs but if you do a lot of research before hand I'm sure you will be fine. If you have any questions about them you can contact me at otis07_@hotmail.com if you want.
