African Bullfrog: The African bullfrogs, or pyxies, are not an overly active species, and captives do not require particularly large terraria. A small African bullfrog can be maintained in a 5-gallon aquarium, a medium frog in a 10-gallon aquarium and a large frog in a 20-gallon long aquarium. More >> |

African Clawed Frog: African clawed frogs do very well in a 10 or 20 gallon aquarium. Fresh spring water or dechlorinated tap water (not distilled water) is recommended. The water should be filtered. Although not as visually pleasing, a bare cage bottom works well when keeping these animals. More >> |

American Bullfrog: If the proper environment is provided, the American bullfrog will thrive under captive conditions. The ideal situation is a large pond designed so that the animal cannot escape and invade surrounding habitat. This is one species that has been successfully maintained in large outdoor ponds.

American Toad: As with most other Bufonid species, a low aquarium with ample floor space works well for this species. A pair can be maintained in a standard 10 gallon aquarium. More >> |

Argentine Horned Frog: The horned frogs are not an overly active species, and captives do not require particularly large terraria. An adult female (or pair) of horned frogs will thrive in a 15- to 20-gallon (horizontally oriented) aquarium. More >> |

Chacoan Horned Frog: Because they have a sedentary lifestyle, Chacoan horned frogs do very well in smaller-sized enclosures. An adult C. cranwelli will thrive in a ten-gallon aquarium. Because of their propensity to feed on anything that moves, it is best to house Chacoan horned frogs separately. More >> |

Chinese Fire-bellied Newt: Chinese fire-bellied newts have a black dorsum and a brightly colored orange or red belly, hence the common name. They have less obvious parotid glands than the similar Japanese fire-bellied newt (Cynops pyrrhogaster). Care should be taken to wash one’s hands after handling this species. More >> |

Dumpy Treefrog: White’s treefrog coloration varies from jade green to blue (the most popular phase) to olive-green and olive-brown. Some specimens are sparsely or liberally spotted with "off-white." Attempts are being made by herpetoculturists to perpetuate and stabilize blue and spotted morphs. More >> |
