    There are two tiger-legged monkey frogs, Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis and P. tomopterna. The cheaper and more common one is hypochondrialis, this is the one I have. Phyllomedusa tomopterna is less common, and some would say it is much prettier, as the black and orange barring continues further up the side of the body than it does is in P. hypochondrialis.
    I have never kept any of the mossy treefrogs (Theloderma sp), so I don't know how hardy they are. The most common is the Vietnamese (Theloderma corticale).
    Blue poison darts (Dendrobates tinctorius, formerly D. azureus) are an excellent starter dart frog. You will need to culture fruit flies though, but if you do it right, you will only have to do it once. The husbandry on darts is different than that of treefrogs. They like things a lot more humid than treefrogs, so do your research before taking them on.
    All these frogs are fairly common on the Kingsnake.com classifieds.

    I found some of these fellows on Monday night in North Central Texas. There were only about 5, maybe 6, in the area so the breeding season hasn't really started yet, these are just the eager few. The only other species of Anuran I could find were Cricket Frogs. The area also has Bufo speciosus, Bufo woodhousii, Bufo debilis and perhaps others, but this was the only species that was venturing out to call.

    The second attachment is part of a recording I made of these guys on Monday night.

    Awesome! Did you collect any? If so, could you please send me some? I will pay for all your shipping costs.

    Honestly I don't like collecting animals, and I didn't collect anything that night. I may go back there in a few weeks though.
