African Reed Frog Terrarium Questions

[tgampper]

Thanks for your comments, Buck.

Painted reed frogs are amazing little creatures. There are 9 subspecies of Hyperolius marmoratus with another 7 Hyperolius species as well - and that's just in sub-Sahara Africa! Amazing!!!

I must have miscounted Southern Africa has some of the most interesting species of frogs you'll find anywhere.

@aquaman7: Most species of Scaphiophryne are fossorial, burrowing and living most of their lives underground. One species, S. madagascariensis is the least fossorial and would make an interesting subject. S. gottlebei is the rarest and most sought after, if you can find them.

Rain frogs are easy to keep. At the zoo, we kept 5 in a 10 gallon tank. I find it strange that they have such beautiful colors and spend most of their time out of sight

Thanks for the info Terry!


Again, does anyone know of a reputable online source for african reed frogs? I definietly plan to also check with my local herp society but I'd like to know if there are any online sources as well.

Thanks again!
