What amphibs?

Post by morelia on Sat Mar 14, 2009 9:30 am

What amphibs does everyone keep? I know loads of us keep them as a sort of side-line to reptiles, like myself, but others are more into amphibs than reptiles (as I used to be years ago). So what has everyone kept in the past, and who has what nowadays?

I'll start I guess - I have in the past kept:

Alpine newts
Paddle-tailed newts
Fire salamanders
Eastern Tiger salamanders
Marbled salamander
Spotted salamanders

Oriental fire-bellied toads
Cane toads
Oak toad
European Green toads
American Green toads
Spadefoot toads

African Bullfrog
Chacoan Horned frogs
Cuban treefrogs
African Great Grey foam-nesting treefrogs
Peter's Grey foam-nesting treefrogs
USA Green treefrogs
USA Grey treefrogs
Barking treefrogs
White's treefrogs
White-lipped treefrogs
Red-eyed leaf-frogs
Asian four-lined gliding frogs

Nowadays I keep a smaller and more select group of amphibs:

Axolotls
European Green toad (soon to be re-homed)
Chacoan Horned frog
White's treefrogs

A great list of amphibian species there, Karl! Presently I've got the following:
3 Axolotl
3 Barred Tiger Salamander
2 Spotted Salamander
2 Fire Salamander (S.s terrestris)
1 Chinese fire-bellied Salamander
4 Sharp-ribbed Newt
1 Ornate Horned Frog (eloquently christened b*****d frog by Mrs. Gibbon!)
1 Oriental fire-bellied Toad (golden form)

I've also kept, historically:

Hong Kong Warty Newt
Alpine Newt
Chacoan Horned Frog


What I'd really like are:

Marbled Salamander
Anderson's Salamander
Red Salamander
African Bullfrog
Milk Frog
Red Eye Tree Frog

Wow, some impressive lists there. I am not so impressive at all, whites for me (not to mention LOADS of wild frogies over the years) but then I love these guys alot. I would like at some stage some other froggies but for now since Jaba passed last year (12yr old Whites) I am staying away from them for a while as I got soooo attached to her and miss her very much still to this day.
