Building a new one!

[Kurt]

I am thinking at least ten.

Wow, that many?? That would be kind of neat, actually. I am really interested in White's tree frogs as well. I know they like taller habitats taller rather than wider, but could the 55 gallon work for them?

[Kurt]

It could, providing they have good ventalation. I am guessing you would have room for 4 - 5, no problem.

[Jace]

Thanks Kurt. Appreciate the advice. It's now a toss up between the White's and the Rubber frogs. Decisions decisions.

[Kurt]

Everybody has White's. Be different!

i dont have any white's =p what are rubber frogs like?

[Kurt]

They are small Microhylid frogs of the genus Phrynomantis. There five species, the most common in herpeculture is the red-banded rubber frog, Phrynomantis bifasciatus. It is also known as the red-banded crevice creeper, Tanzinian red-banded walking frog, and so on. Frogs of this genus have a tendency to look like a hybrid of frog and salamander. Being toxic and slow-moving they are brightly colored.

The other rubber frog that is sometimes availible is the West African rubber frog or Ghana fire frog, Phrynomantis microps

I have both species in my collection.

You have a point there. Don't rubber frogs like to burrow though? I am looking for something that will be seen and admired. They are interesting looking frogs though...I'll check out the sites you suggested. I'm just wondering if they are available here in Canada. I like the fact they are from Africa, though-fits in with my collection rather nicely .

Mine never really burrow, they are usually visible. My microps use their hide box about 75% of the time. My bifasciatus are usually not hidden much. Of course the more you have the more likely you are to see them.
