Rain Frogs

[poison]

Terry is correct. Their natural habitat is very dry almost year round. This is why Rain Frogs remain burrowed to remain moist. They Aestivate for nearly a year before the rains come and wake them from their slumber as the water seeps down into their burrows.

If they didn't prefer dryer climates then they would not live where they are. So which part of Terry's statement was untrue? Chubby frogs such as Painted frogs do live in tropical regions just as the Tomato frogs do.

If they prefered drier climates then they would come out more then just the rainy seasons. If I were to keep them in captivity then I would definetelly not set them up in a dry climate enclosure unless I have LOTS of substrate to allow the frog to gain moister at depth. And I'm not talking just a couple inches. Just because they live there does not mean they prefer it, they simply adapted to survive. Do they ever breath in the dry air?

Does anybody know of any succesful keepers of these frogs? If so how do they keep them?
