    Question Bird Poop Frog Identification Help Please?

    I've seen both Hyla Marmorata and Theloderma Asperum listed as bird poop frogs... is this the same frog with different names or two different species all together? Can someone tell me the difference and if care is the same or not? Thanks!

    Definitely two different frogs from two different parts of the world, Theloderma aspernum are Asian while Hyla marmorata are from South America. They share a common name due to their appearance, although T.aspernum at least has other common names. I'm sure their care would be quite different, Theloderma spend a lot of time in water.

    Thanks for the info I know I've seen Marmoratta for sale here, and I've heard that someone here was breeding Aspernum, but couldn't find that particular one in our state's allowed list... unless they also go by another name?

    They're often know as 'Pied Warty Frog' over here. In this allowed list, wouldn't the scientific name be used though? A lot of species share common names with others from different locations so it could be confusing otherwise!

    They do use the taxonomic names yes, and the only Theloderma species I found listed was cortical (sp?) which are the Mossies. H. Marmorata were on the accepted list, but I didn't see T. Asperum anywhere. Guess I'll have to contact the fish and wildlife department to know for certain. I like Marmorata better than Asperum anyway I think (not a fan of the red eyes in Asperum), so no skin off my nose if I can't get them here I guess :P
