Smallest terrestrial frog?

[Rick]

What is the smallest terrestrial frog? I know most small frogs like thumbs prefer a bit more of an arboreal setup. So im just wondering are there any really small terrestrial dart frogs? I've seen some azureiventris pictures but wasnt able to tell on their size, are they small frogs?

retics most likely

You could look into tricolor/anthonyi also. They are definitely small. They will climb all over but are not a "true aboreal".

im just throwing this out there, not knowing ur expierence level

if its just a question of size then i stick with retics
but if its a question of whats a small size frog to keep then id go with the tricolor

Flea frog! good luck finding them. lol.



JK. I would have to agree with Hunter, probably retics.

I can't tell if the OP was referring only to Dendrobatidae or frogs in general. If they were referring to frogs in general then the smallest frog in the world (last I checked) is Eleutherodactylus iberia which is only known from Cuba. There are some other cool contenders out there like frogs in the Nobella genus (see PHOTOS: Coin-Size Frog Found -- One of World's Smallest for some pictures). Actually a lot of leaf litter dwellers are surpringly small.

I misread the topic anyway, I thought he was just looking for small frogs, not the smallest.

I would also have to go with retics.

Would a pair of tricolor enjoy a 20L more than a 20h?

Those are some pretty awesome frogs Ed...


Retics would be a cool frog too...if they werent 200 dollars each!
