My azureus that I got for Scott Menigoz are the boldest frogs I have. I'm sure they would eat out of my hand if I tried.
Thanks David for mentioning me!
To respond to this thread, I'd think that your first frog should be one which is easily displayed, easily fed and hardy. While the thumbnails are fantastic display frogs, the cost certainly should be a factor (at least to those of us with limited funds :lol: ). My suggestion would be to start with a species like any of the large tinctorius, azureus, auratus or terribilis. These guys accept larger prey items and are always out for your visual pleasure. I think that the vents tend to hide more.
Most of us would hate to admit it, but when beginning this great hobby (addiction?) we make mistakes and lose frogs. I certainly hate losing
any frog, but it really hurts when I lose a high dollar frog. I believe this hobby should be a logical progression; learn the "ropes" with more hardy frogs and then apply these skills to the more costly frogs. I remember first starting out and wanting all of the great thumbnails...I'm glad it was difficult to aquire them! I don't think I was ready for some of the specialized skills necessary. I still yearn for pumillio but have held off; perhaps someday...
