Frog Identification

Yeah, that looks like them. Thanks!

You're welcome, glad I could help.

Any idea how much they usually cost?

I have seen them being sold at Petco for around $20 (I think), but Petco misidentified them as Phrynomantis bifasciatus, a microhylid. Sorry I can't help you out better, as I have no experience with this species. I just recognized it when I saw the picture.

They are usually not too expensive, expect to pay around $10 to $15 on average. Kassina maculata is a toxic frog, so keep that in mind. Wash your hands after handling it and do not house it with any other frogs, other than its own kind. It is a member of the family Hyperoliidae, reed and African treefrogs.

Oh, it's toxic? i didn't know that. I'm housing them with my white's right now. How toxic are they?

Hi photoninja. Your Red-legged Walking Frog looks gorgeous.

I would advise you to separate them asap, It's never a good idea to mix different frog species at all.

Toxic enough that you want to seperate them immediately. They are also wild caught, so they will need deworming, and so will your White's since you have housed them together.

Thanks. They were kept with white's at the store, so i figured it would be ok to stick them with mine. Now i just have to find another tank and a spot to put it

Grrrr, that's terrible. Another example of a pet shop that has no beep idea.
Someone needs to tell them.

It's not your fault photoninja, you did not know and you had your trust in the pet store like many others will.
