I forgive beginners, as when I first started out I had no idea they'd need so much special care. You learn from your mistakes. But it's the people who already have herps that annoy me when they do this. They should already know that it's not so simple and that planning needs to be done prior to getting the animal. Yet, they'll get the frog on impulse and then do a quickie search online and on the forums for how to set it up or asking why their frog is not feeding when it's being kept below the recommended temperatures. I only use the forum to give advice, talk and ask questions from hobbyists in which my books can't answer.

The problem is that pet shops are happy to sell to anyone a delicate animal without asking how much exactly the customer knows about that animal, if they have an enclosure ready and what it's like. There are good pet shops that will ensure they're animals are going to good homes, but most I've encountered have not. I think it should be enforced that they ask these questions and are willing and knowledgable enough to answer any questions and provide good advice, otherwise they have no right to be selling the animals in the first place.

Cory, try USA green tree frogs or barking treefrogs, easy peasy and really hardy!
