I knew Hawaii was extremely strict on exportation, but I was curious about species that they considered to be invasive (aka species they are actively trying to exterminate from their environment).

Also, these frogs have actually established themselves in some localities within the continental U.S. So far, there are populations in Florida and Louisiana. The only difficulty I can see with keeping them is getting them to breed. Zoos very well may have tried and failed at that, and given their average life span of 2 years, that's not surprising. Still, the same has been said of many species before, and avid herp enthusiasts have defied the odds countless times, making the impossible possible. I'm not giving up quite yet.
