What toads/frogs does everyone keep?

[Miss Lily]

I recently rescued a toad from my parents' garden and took it to the vets where it was pts. It had both eyes covered in leeches. After my close encounter with the toad I am thinking I would like a frog or toad at some point. The toad jumped onto my hand when I touched it's chest and it actually clung on to my wrist. What frogs/toads do you lovely cham lovers keep? What is their care like? I am quite taken with Mossies or RETFs.

I have red eyed tree frogs and they are awesome, care is easy. I built a vivarium for them. Only thing is that they are nocturnal so I only see them moving around hunting etc. at night

I keep a pair of White's tree frogs in a planted Vivarium and I love them! They are so so cool. Like Calval said mine are nocturnal, but so am I sort of haha! I hand feed them with tongs and they are ravenous every time, they use their little hands and gobble up everything. Plus, they kind of sound like dogs when they croak. Hope this helps.

We keep 3 Whites tree frogs. They are my Daughters, but like most of the kids pets, they quickly become Mom and Dads responsibility.. lol.. I personally don't see them too often, but they are pretty cool!

We have 2 bumblebee dart frogs - the black and yellow ones. They are pretty neat and I like having a planted enclosure for them. Also, they will trill occassionally, making our house sound like a rainforest. They are set up in an Exo Terra and eat fruit flies that we breed ourselves. All in all a pretty cool pet.

I've kept Solomon Island leaf frogs and Malaysian leaf frogs. The Solomon Island frogs tended to be "out" more of the time and seemed very calm. Large enough to be safely handled. More of a barking call. Mossies are also more day active, but they are cryptic so hard to find without looking! Saurian Enterprises has bred both of these for years so much better to get cbbs in these days of chytrid fungus spread in importer facilities. There are different color morphs of the Solomons available. The mossies will want more of a water area than the Solomons, which are a leaf litter frog.

My favorite were the Malaysian leaf frogs, but they are much touchier to acclimate and many arrive already infected with chytrid. They are strictly nocturnal and secretive however. I still love these guys but they are never available as cbb and wc mortality is tragically high.
