Not sure if I will invest in a hospital tank though! I've had him a year and so far no issues at all. (Although I admit I freaked out the first time i saw him shedding and eating his skin, I thought all the contortions were a seizure or something. Thanks to Google and You-tube I quickly "diagnosed" the "problem").
Also, there is an exotic pet store very near my home that's open 7 days a week, and a few different exotic pet vets nearby, so in case of illness, I'll be able to get help quickly.
THANKS
If you get a second frog you'll want a second tank anyways for the quarantine period. That smaller tank could second as a hospital tank. The reason you would want a hospital tank with two frogs is so that you can quickly remove a sick frog to prevent it from getting the other one sick. It's also good so you can monitor feeding and pooping easier. So with one frog a hospital tank isn't really necessary in my opinion. But with more than one it's essential that you be able to separate sick frogs.

And of course (for me anyways) there's always that possibility of "unexpectedly" bringing home an adorable female Australian WTF when I come across one...
