If you could have any frog what would it be? Here is a list of some rare frogs not usually offered in the pet trade. Some are protected by CITES so there is no way you will get one, but one can dream anyway.
So what is your dream frog from this list?

Ok now only the last one works for me. Also it would kinda help if you could say if they are protected. I kinda want to know and I am sure others will want to know if there is a possibility of getting one.
Darn it...I cant seem to open the links but Ive always fancied the Amazon leaf frog (Cruziohyla craspedopus) I'm sure there's a whole Heep of frogs that I'm yet to discover though.
Sorry for not using full names I am in a hurry. Just match my fragments to Kurts names.

Tom, for the most part they are all protected. Some more than others.
Kurt...I just went through and looked up each frog on the list and as beautiful as they all are, I still go with the Amazon leaf Frog.
Tom...Thanks for that.
Excellent..I look forward to meeting those species in question. Thanks Kurt
OK I have fixed the all links in the poll.
Strange poll. Why just those frogs/those particular frogs?

Hmm I thinks they are all what Kurt would want that are out of his ability to obtain and are kinda known by many people.
Because I can only post 10 different options and these are the ones that came to mind. So there is a little bit of truth in what Tom said, I do admire most of these frogs. And with the exeption of the goliath frog, I wouldn't mind having them.
I can set it so you can have a lot more options.
Founder of Frogforum.net (2008) and Caudata.org (2001)
That would just get too confusing.
Well I'm open to looking at more options, But I have already voted.
I already have my dream frog.
Giant Pyxies have always been my favorite. When I was a young kid I didn't even know you could get them. Of the frogs listed the Amazon Leaf Frog is my favorite. I find it stunningly beautiful.
I dream of being able to start and operate a massive captive breeding effort for amphibians. If I could get access to ANY stock on the planet frog-wise, it would be the Panamania goldens. (And through a sheer stroke of luck, I was able to get two pairs of my dream caudates legally, so I am slowly getting there...)
Watching FrogTV because it is better when someone else has to maintain the enclosure!
Darwin's Frog would be at the top of my list every time!
I was considering that one for this poll.
