I hear froggies Anonymous
Hey /an/, I keep hearing a few frogs from right in front of my window where some rose bushes and other small plants grow. I have a tank and could go buy whatever's needed to take care of them, what do you think? Good idea for cheap pets?

Wild-caught herps tend to not do so well. They don't "tame" easy and can be host to a ton of diseases and parasites. If you absolutely must have one of these as a pet, identify the species that you have available before you catch any, and throughly research them to make sure that you can provide for all of their needs.

Warnings aside, I've found toads adjust pretty well to captivity if they are adopted when young. I had a sommers/woodhouse hybrid that would dart out from her hidey holes whenever I came near, and seemed to enjoy sitting on my hand. Course, I also brought her worms whenever I did that, so it was kinda a conditioned response.

Anyway, I suggest you improve their wild environment rather than capturing them. Add a little pond, some toad-holes, flowers to attract insects, that sort of thing. Then you can observe them in the wild and attract even more to your home.

I don't get any chance to really look at them, no windows nearby and I only know they're there because I can hear em. So, attracting more wouldn't be too fun. I don't expect to really do much with them, just observe really. Also I considered buying other reptiles/amphibians before but I'd rather try them out first.
