    Default Sand Rain Frog

    I was at a reptile expo today and they had these adorable "rain frogs". I found a picture of the same kind. I couldn't find much info about them, has anyone every had one of these guys? They're so cute, I wanted to buy one, but didn't want to make an impulse buy...

    I know! They have such tiny, frowny wittle mouths...lol
    I can't find a care sheet on these guys.

    okay, after more research, these guys were Breviceps rosei rosei. There's no care sheet to be found. Also, another similar species Breviceps adspersus, again, no info on keeping in captivity. As cute as they were, I wouldn't buy a wild caught animal without some info on captive care. Maybe one day...

    Hey! We just watched a tv special on these guys . I can't remember if it was discovery or animal planet. They're so cute! You can't help but chuckle at that silly face .
