Just joined so I could do a lot of reading and ask some questions on frog care. I used to be quite fond of keeping fish, but haven't kept any in the last several years. I sold most of my stuff, but I kept a 29 gallon tank in case I ever wanted to set up again. BUT, I've decided against getting fish and I believe I would really enjoy keeping frogs instead.

We also currently keep tarantulas and a lovely redfoot tortoise that we've had about 4 years now.

I'm pretty good at following directions and whichever frogs I get will probably be my only ones. So, I'm going to do a lot of reading to make sure I've got exactly the ones I want.

For some location information, I live in Florida and we use the AC very rarely, so generally our house is already between 75 and 85 degrees most of the time and the humidity gauges in my unmisted tarantulas enclosures are already at 70% humidity. So, hopefully that will already help to make frog keeping a relatively easy endeavor. We are on well water with a reverse osmosis system, so that should make safe water not a problem. AND, we already have plenty of crickets and other feeder insects for the tarantulas. And already accustomed to using coconut fiber and sphagnum for the tarantulas too..

I love the bright colored frogs, but I would also be really fond of a frog that calls. We have tons of native toads in our pond in the backyard that I love listening to for the part of the year that they're calling.

Anyhow, I'll be around, probably doing a LOT of reading while I try to decide on a species.
