    I think it is this:

    I'd like to have one. I should have bought these 2 instead of the pyxie from this guy because the pyxie turned out to not be in good shape and would later die. Haven't seen them since. He ID'd these frogs as giant asian flying frogs. Bad thing about reptile shows is you sometimes need to just grab something if you think it's cool even if you know nothing about the animal (hate doing that) because you may never see them again.

    Hi there
    The giant flying frogs do require a larger enclosure than many other frogs
    (30 gal per frog) but if you really want these guys, do your reasearch and
    you will be ok.

    Good luck finding the frogs

    Ok. I am just trying to find out what frog I saw for sure that day if at all possible. The next show for our area has moved to the fairgrounds and is 2 days long so perhaps some more interesting stuff will show up in the show, like another batch of these guys. I'll worry more about the research when I am sure I have the correct species.

    Starforce2-I have to disagree with the “Bad thing about reptile shows is you sometimes need to just grab something if you think it's cool even if you know nothing about the animal (hate doing that) because you may never see them again” You are putting the animal at great risk when not prepared to house and care for such an animal. Also if it's that unusual, that may mean it doesn't do well in captivity. I would think twice before “grabbing” an animal without knowing it's requirements. IMO.

    well this time around our reptile show is a 2 day event so if I find something I can make sure i know what it is and go back the next day. Given the fact that what I did buy from the guy wasn't healthy and died anyways it might not have made a difference, as all his animals may have had issues. Also, being as how the animal has been brought in from somewhere across the country in a plastic tub and left sit on a table for 4-6 hrs (the show is 6 hrs long..or at least it has been) plus the trip back to it's home if it doesn't sell, the animal is already "at risk" and within a day or so I can probably nail down the basics for most things, like temp, and even if I don't get the cage size right right away, that wont kill the animal. I actually scolded one guy for having several Uromastyx on the table all afternoon cold to the touch. No lights at all. There's a petland a mile or 2 away I can get materials in a snap if I lack something, like a heat lamp that wasn't big enough or wrong size food items.
