    Aesthetically, my favorite is definitely the Suriname Horned Frog, particularly the green ones.

    Scientifically, my favorite is Pedostibes hosii, the Asian yellow-spotted jumping toad (or tree toad). I badly want some for one of my experiments, which deals with the rate of evolution of muscle properties, because they represent a powerful jumper that evolved from a group that's generally pretty terrible at jumping (toads).

    As far as the frogs I have personally kept, I enjoy the Giant Pixies the most. Their ease of care, personality and large size make them very appealing to me. I also love the look of their "armored" skin texture.

    My favourite frog is the Hypsiboas picturata. I just think it is an amazing frog, with it's eyes are it's most distinct feature.

    my favorites are MY american toads, because they are MINE and i love them lots!!
    i love how they look when they hunt, i never realized how mobile/agile they are! and the little toe twitching is just so hilarious to me still.

    other than that, i still dig the classic red-eyed tree frog. they always look SOOO interested in what they see, lol. they are all so darn cute i wish i could hug them all, haha.

    My favorites are the clawed frogs and Surinam toads. They are awesome I also like spadefoots and toads.

    Favorite frog as a pet? Oh, a Gray Treefrog.. but, alas, I'm biased. XD

    My favorite frogs to look at?


    Red Eyes

    White's tree frogs. (When I first saw you guys calling them "WTF's" I was like "why are you calling them what-the-eff frogs?" XD)

    Waxy monkey Treefrogs. The look like dragons!


    And the bird poop frog. :P
    I have a frog. She's fat and green. Her name is Gertrude, because she is fat and green.

    Tough choice.... Let's see....

    I may have to pick three , lol!

    1. Red eyed tree frogs...

    Because they are just simply beautiful frogs. Theirs colors are so brilliant. Those adorable big boggly red eyes are endearing . They're smooth and hop effortlessly from branch to branch.



    2. Ceratophrys cranwelli ....

    I like their beautiful patterns and their round statures. Their aggressive hunting styles are fun to watch. I love how they grow quickly as youngsters and you can watch their progress. It's cute how they burrow to the tips of their nose and eyes.



    3. The clown frog....

    I don't have one but they're so cute , and their patterns and colors are pretty.

    Not my photo (from Google)...

    The Wood frog--Lithobates sylvaticus--hands down (although I really like a few others)! This was the first frog I saw when I was little and thus grew up around. I instantly fell for those eyes ! The markings and colorings of this little frog are just remarkable (even though they are shades of brown, black, and white). But perhaps their way of hibernating is what fascinates me the most…..their blood contains a chemical that acts like antifreeze, enabling them to freeze completely solid! It would be amazing to actually get to find a frozen Wood frog! And my love for these amphibians will never end. Hehe, I own 4 right now

    Here is pic of a juvenile Woodie:
