[portal_reptiles]

They look like wacked-out fire-bellied toads!  Very neat!

Yeah they are nice.  I have the Theloderma Asperum.  Which are also a cool variety.  Someone sold them to me as Bird dropping frogs (hyla Marmorata)  I noticed they looked a little weird not like marmorata.  When I looked them up I thought JACKPOT.

LOL -- hope you have patience and room if you are going to breed frogs.  Some do breed easily but you need lots of space and clean water for the tads.

Good luck

wow. My future brother-in-law told me he bought a "mossy frog" (second hand) and I didn't know what he was talking about. If you have some care info i'd like to forward it to him.
