My first frog was a Grey Tree Frog. I actually found it in my yard. He ate very well, didn't make a lot of noise and his temperature and humidity requirements weren't too hard to achieve. I have heard that White's Tree Frogs are great for beginners too. They are very hardy; they can tolerate being handled and can endure beginners' mistakes such as forgetting to mist, or a missed feeding. Good luck with your new froggie!
