Building a new one!

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.

Well, you have me sold on them Kurt. It appears to be the exact type of exotic frog I have been looking for.

Yeah, Phrynomantis frogs rule! Just wished there were more available. Of the five species only seem to be available, bifasciatus and microps. The other three, annectens, affinis, and somalicus, are never offered for sale. And to tell the truth, I have no idea what Phrynomantis somalicus even looks like.
