Looking for a cold tolerant frog species.

[Mantella19]

I'm moving some animals into my basement and I'm looking on expanding my collection. Unfortunately, the room gets to as low as 16*C in the winter, but averages around 18*C. I can't find anything to add besides budgett frogs (hibernation since it warms up to 22*C in the summer), mantellas, African clawed frogs, and of course native frogs. I'm definitely going to be getting a few of the above, but I'm wondering what other species should I consider?

You could look around for Wood frogs, the can survive temperatures of -10 degrees by hibernating and secreting this type of glucose to make their blood like anti-freeze. It seems pretty hard to get some though. If you like other amphibians, newts and salamanders like cooler temperatures, maybe you could look into getting some of those

Nobody here sells them since they're native, and I can't catch any since they're all frozen.

You could get Fire bellied toads they are fairly cold tolerant but you'll need to create a basking area that reaches mid 70s during the summer, the UV lighting will also give temps a little boost as well.

Well, look for a spot where they naturally live and try to find some! They don't burrow down deep like most other frogs, so they should be some-what easy to find if you know what you're doing

Mossy frogs and Bird Poo frogs take lower temps, lower-mid 70'sF for higher end.

The Andean Marsupial Tree Frog (Gastrotheca riobambae) would be perfect at those temperatures
