He looks like he's ready to be someone's dinner sat on the plate! I'm still not sure about this species of frog, they are just so................BIG!! Quite, quite different to my little reed frogs!
Lovely photos nevertheless!

What kinds of reed frogs do you have?

Thanks, Kerry. It's amazing how big these guys get, and I personally can't wait for him to totally fill-up one of these plates in size. I wanted to see if he'd take some Tilapia, and he ended up eating a whole fillet that was cut-up into strips.
Reed frogs are pretty cool, and as you said, small compared to Ralph. I'm also interested to know what kind you have. Can you post some pics?

They're sometimes called African walking frogs, (kassina senegalensis) but are in the reed frog family (or hyperoliidae). Hope I didn't get you all excited under false pretenses, that was what I was told they were, in the reed frog family I mean.

Here's a link about them, I haven't actually had it officially confirmed that's what mine are, but trawling the net this is the closest resemblance I could come up with. The guy in the pet shop just said the were African running frogs. I thought they were kassina macualta at first, but mine lack the red striped legs.

African Treefrogs: Hyperoliidae - Bubbling Kassina (kassina Senegalensis): Species Accounts

Awe man! I thought you had gotten new frogs. Even though Kassina are in the reed frog family, Hyperoliidae we don't consider them to be read frogs. There are three basic frog types in the family, the Kassina, the reed frogs, and big-eyed treefrogs and kin.
Also when writing taxonomic names the genus and genus only is capitalized and the whole name is in italics. Example - Kassina senegalensis. Also the family and subfamily should be capitalized as well.
