Thank you all for the kind words!

Yes, they are very unique in their apperance. The texture of the skin makes them extreme camoflaugers, much like the red eyes, but on moss instead of green leaves. I've been looking directly at one of the frogs without seing it, because he was all curl up on a chunck of moss.

It's a very interesting species. They are semi-aquatic/semi-arboreal, which is a very unusual combination. Take red eyes for example, they are the pinnacle of tree living, and therefore very well suited for climbing, but not so much for swimming, at all... Theloderma on the other hand, is quite skillful at climbing, but not at all as agile and delicate climbers as the red eyes. On the other hand, their much thicker and powerful legs makes them good swimmers.
Another very nice thing: The call a lot and loud! Throughout the entire night, there were calls comming from their tank, with about 30 minutes of silence, and then 30 minutes of constant calling. They sound nothing like the red eyes (Theloderma actually sounds like a sonar from a submarine...), so now you can here the calling of two different frog species (and the clicking of the gecko) when sitting in our living room!

That viv looks great! Good job!

The frogs are really beautiful! I'm building a viv for Thelodermas too right now. Hope it turns out half as good as yours.
Are these frogs from Hamm too?
