    Default what kind of frog?

    They had these frogs at my local pet store and on an impulse I got one.

    My tablet won't connect to my camera. So I will just have to describe it. The top of the body is the same colors as an African dwarf frog. Its not an African clawed but the eyes are on top, only back feet are webbed and it has a white under body. It was sold as a fat something frog.

    From what you can tell, is his/her tympanum smaller than the head, larger, or about the same size?

    Dorsalateral ridges on the back will tell for sure. They have similar but still different care so its important to know the exact species

    Is there a caresheet? my computer wont pull up the one on herpfamily.

    I would like to get a terrarium. At only 2 inches what size would I need for 2 of them? I am debating getting a second if the housing size isnt very different

    this care sheet says 16 sq inches per frog, So could I get an 8x8x8 terrarium for a couple? I am also considering the 12x12x12 ... but the smaller the better space wise

    I honestly have no idea why someone would suggest 16 square inches for one frog. 8x8x8 is a little over i gallon. I personally don't think that anything deserves to live in there. 12x12x12 would be the better bet.

    My only other option is a large critter keeper ... kind of unsightly but certainly cheaper.
