Hello from Quebec

BUT, darts arn't generally recommended for beginners, that's why I thought FBT's would be a good choice. It's hard enough getting crickets in Canada, nevermind fruit flies..... -.- lol

Hey, I didn't say FBT was a bad advice, I agreed with you
Just wanted to expand the search a little bit, since there are some dart frogs that are relatively easy to care for. But yes, they are more fragile, but you're not supposed to handle frogs anyway

Pacmans doesn't really match your wishes in a frog. They are nocturnal, not very active, and not the most interesting even when they move Not saying you shouldn't get one, just saying.

They are noctural too? -_-
Yeah well for an unknow reason they were the most interessting specie in my mind lol, even if they are scarying me... xD Too aggressive and their mouth are so BIG!

So... Bombina may be interessting, but I found them a little bit too small... I prefer large frogs. They look more friendly ( It's in my head, i know). I don't want a frog to take her in my hand and pet her. I really want a observation species.

So, the most active and interessting are really FBT? Another species in mind?

I should choose an interessting one, because i've been disapointed by my gecko ( She's noctural and I never see her. i love her tought but... well ...)

And, as for darts, they need large enclosures, and most who keep them will tell you that they should be kept in groups.

Large enclosures? No, not really. It of course depends on the species, but generally you don't need a large enclosure, no.

They are noctural too? -_-

Well, it's all what you prefer. If you ask me, Bombina orientalis are not the most interesting, but plenty of people do think so. No one can answer that question for you, you need to figure out for yourself which species you find most interesting. Eric Robillard wrote a good article about choosing a frog, you should check it out!

I have read it.... It didn't help me lol!

So, what are the most interesting frogs if I ask you ? :P

[ViperJr]

I'm a tree frog person, with Agalychnis callidryas being my absolute favorite in every aspect. Other incredibly interesting tree frogs which I personally like a lot are Trachycephalus resinifictrix, Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis, Dendropsophus leucophyllatus. Although not being true tree frogs, I'm a big fan of the Theloderma genus, especially the Theloderma corticale. But, like you said, tree frogs are for people who do not have a need to observe their frogs all the time. You need to let them have their privacy and just look at the occasionally. Like Kurt so nicely put it in a care article for Agalychnis callidryas:
" Keep in mind that red-eyes are not really a good display animal, nor are they a decent "pet". They will sleep during the day, looking like a green lump on the glass of your terrarium, and when they do become active you will be a big lump in your bed. So if you are going to keep and raise Agalychnis callidryas, do it because you just love this frog, as I do."


(I only keep two species of frogs right now, Agalychnis callidryas and Theloderma corticale)

Ha!!
My favorites species are really white tree frog and you named the other one : Mossy frog.

I made reshearchs for them and you're right, they are tree frog, but also great swimmers! They are just so beautifull! I really like their apparence.

Can you show me a picture of you terrarium for them?

[ViperJr]

What I meant with "not true tree frogs", is that they are not in the Hylidae family, but the Rhacophoridae family.
I made a thread about my mossys a while back, which I still updated (mostly with pictures of the frogs). I have a picture of the terrarium, but it doesn't justify the tank, really... But anyway, here's the thread!
