What is your favorite frog?

[lizardminion]

Things just got a little 'froggy' here in the NSSW, so I'd thought I'd ask...
Especially since I'm considering my first exotics. (whom I will obtain and care for responsibly, unlike your typical beginner. I'm all knowledge, no experience...)
Anyway, what is your favorite frog, and why? (I'm not asking for "What do you think I should get"- what is your favorite?)
Post some pics too!

Ranitomeya imitator 'varadero' for both their colors and boldness to stay out in the open during the day and to come right up to the glass.
but they only get .75 in and can be hard to raise from froglets due to the constant supply of springtails needed to feed them. Adult males have quite a loud call but not loud enough to be displeasing.
And my 2nd favorite D. azureus, they get much bigger(2in) and aren't afraid of anything, I see mine out hunting until the lights go out for the night. calls can't be hear unless your ear is right next to the tank with the top open. Much more beginner friendly and hardy compared to the imitator.

Mine is tied with tomato frog's and RETFs. I like toads more though

Toads are allowed in this thread too...

Megophrys nasuta.

Although they are very difficult to keep in captivity, due to sensitivities to disease, owning some of these has been a dream of mine for quite some time.

There is also a couple in my state (and other people further away) currently working with them to attempt to improve the currently dismal captive breeding results, so hopefully keeping some will become more feasible as times goes on.

Tomato frogs for their shades of red to yellow-orange or a big ol' male pyxie you can't beat that.

rhacophorus species(gliding frogs) awesome colors,and HUGE webbed hands and feet love keeping these frogs.

Northern Leopard Frogs - because of their color, size, pattern, and body shape

Waxy Monkey frogs - Because of the way they wax themselves in the sunshine!

Even though I do not own any as of yet, my favorite anuran is probably the cane toad, because of its size, apparent ease of care, and sheer tenacity to be such a successful species in whatever ecosystem they are introduced to. Even though they are a terrible pest, that still garners them some respect. Another contributing factor for my fondness is this video right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DByPhVYUZJo

Without a doubt the giant male african bullfrog, Pyxicephalus Adspersus, also called pixie frog. The males are the most impressive and sought after due to there massive size and the 3 huge tusk like teeth on there bottom jaw. Here are a couple pics of mine I had.

Vietnamese mossy frogs are my favorite, due to their ease of care and reproduction and their amazing cryptic coloration and texture. I haven't kept any yet, but I am in the process of redoing one of my existing dart frog vivs to set up for mossies.

My favorite dart frogs are R. ventrimaculatus "iquitos" due to their incredible metallic colors and insanely tiny size. I have 4 of them in a 40 gallon viv and it is always a treat to catch a glimpse of them. They're so fast!

If you are looking to keep a dart frog I would recommend a D. tinctorius azureus or maybe even some P. terribilis. Both are bolder and larger darts, so they're a little easier to see and care for to start with. The terribs are also relatively friendly with each other so you can keep more of them together and you can feed them larger prey items. The blue color on the azureus is stunning, too. Most of my friends who don't keep or know much about darts are most impressed by my azureus. I kind of find them boring due to their ubiquity but I can't deny that they are fabulous frogs.

Also, Stingray, those are some gorgeous pixies! I'm so jealous!

Never had any but I totally agree with you about the mossy's!

Thanks. I had a third male named Nitro. Just as big, beautiful, and mean as the other two. Housed all 3 of them separate. I have lots of videos of them in action during feeding time.

GLASS FROGS all the way... although i have admired the colors on some, ive never really wanted frogs as pets till i discovered the glass ones tonight.. i am very interested

I love my son's Dendrobates tinctorius "azureus". I have had several types of frogs and toads before. Most of the nocturnal, which is a drag when you look into the cage and they are asleep or hiding from you. I love the azureus, because they are so bold and friendly. They are out during the day and hop right up to you when you are feeding them or just looking at them.

I find it amusing when I walk over to look at them and they have hope over to me to check me out. They are curious about what you are doing. Because of that they are my favorite!! I also think they are really cute!

Agalychnis callidryas. The Red Eyed Tree Frog i absolutely loooooove their colors, especially the blue om their thighs!

 

[shebeen]

African Dwarf Frog. They're fully aquatic, inexpensive and easy to care for. You keep them as you would any freshwater tropical fish. I have three in a 3 gallon aquarium. Feeding is simple: just drop a frozen blood worm cube into the tank every other day.

I'm more of a toad guy but my favorite frog would have to be P. bicolor, the Giant Monkey Frog. But my favorite toad, is B. alvarius, the Colorado River Toad. They're huge and awesome!!

Planning to keep frogs. Are the dart frogs poisonous?
