    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I really want to get some frogs, but I'd like to get a feel for what makes for good "beginner" frogs.

Right now I have a bearded dragon, crested geckos, a corn snake, and a red-footed tortoise. So I'm somewhat experienced in reptile care...even though all of those are super easy to care for :)

Anyways, any suggestions?
 
It really depends on tank size and what you want.

If you have a larger tank whites tree frogs make a good beginner.
 
Any certain frog that interest you?

Do you want something noctural? Diurnal? Cricket eater? fruit fly eater?

Big frog? small frog?
 
I really love the Malaysian Leaf Frogs and the Red Eyes. I really want something handleable and relatively easy to keep. No preferences on nocturnal/diurnal. Crickets would probably be easiest, but I'm flexible on that too.
 
Most frogs do better not being handled.

But I would suggest maybe looking into the Whites tree frogs. They are a bigger frog, can handle some handleing, eat crickets, Available CB, semi easy to keep.

The malasian leaf frogs are mostly WC, probably are not going to handle the handleing as well, etc. Red eyes should really not be handled, not the easiest frog to keep but still not hard.
 
red eyes cannot be handled at all, trust me lol they are very easily stressed with in turn can stress you at, but my whites are amazing, i try not to handle them too much, but they like to jump on me when my arm is in the tank cleaning and stuff, they are nocturnal but often wake up for periods of the day and become very curious and will come over to the glass to say hi, they are vigorous eaters and hand feeding them is something they do instantly, whites are a great beginners frog
