Get a non aquatic frog, much more fun. If you get the right type of toad, they are loads of awesome. There was a puddle with 2000+ tadpoles in it near a beach. Problem was the puddle was quickly drying up, so we took home and saved all the little buggers. Kept one of them for a pet.
We called him bright eyes, and he was cute as fuck (no, not after the band) he lived with 3 pacific tree frogs. One day he just up and fucking vanishes, baffled the fuck out of me. About 6 months later all the frogs had died (they were pushing 4 years old and got mites or something from the crickets I bought from the pet store)
I cleaned the terrarium, and put it in the garage, leaving the inch or so of dirt int he bottom. About a year later I got a newt from a friend. I pulled the terrarium out of the tank and planted a bunch of shit in the dirt, because I like to think amphibians are happier around real plants (I would be), and I watered the plants pretty heavily to get them started.
Next day I look in the tank, and there is motherfucking Bright Eyes, staring back at me. Seems spadefoot toads deal with the drought we have in this kind of area by burrowing and hibernating until they feel water, then they resurface.
Goddamn was he ever cute, 3/4 of an inch long. Stupid as a fucking rock though. Drowned in a half inch of water the next day.
Picture very related.
