I'd like to get an idea of some of the better beginner's frog species. My girlfriend's daughter would like a frog and I've got no experience in frog keeping. I've kept reptiles and arachnids for many years and I'm happy to help her out but I need a little direction. While I realize that amphibian skin doesn't lend itself well to human handling, I'd like something that she can at least have occasional contact with. Also something that's not too fragile, and fairly easy to care for.

While I'm not opposed to them, I'm not generally not a huge fan of the more common species that are typically available in your neighborhood pet store, i.e. Pacman frogs and fire-bellied toads. If these are the best options, so be it. But it would be cool if there was something a bit more interesting/unique that would be a good option.

Please save me the bashing for "not using the search function". I used it and wasn't able to find what I was looking for. Maybe I just don't know how to use it correctly, and I'm sure that this is an often asked question but if you don't like it, please just skip this post.

Thanks,

Caleb
