    Default New to the forum and keeping frogs :)

    Hello from Columbus Ohio
    Looking to start keeping amphibians. I have a lot of herps, snakes and geckos and a tarantula, but have never kept frogs. I have always found them interesting, a lot of my childhood involved catching and observing them. Currently have a baby fowler's and american toad, still deciding which to keep and which to release.


    Glad to have found this forum, and can't wait to be a part of it

    Welcome to the forum and if your looking into getting any frogs soon then may I suggest an Ornate Horned Frog. They're low maintenance, nice to look at, don't take up much room AND THEY'RE AWSOME!!!

    Yeah, I would love a fantasy but they aren't in stores too often where I live.
