I have a modest amphibian collection.
2 Whites Treefrogs
1 unknown tropical new world frog. Looks like a Cuban but unsure. It
arrived at the supermarket with a shipment of cut flowers.
A whole mess of firebelly toads, various species.
1 Tiger Salamander
2 Fowlers Toads
10 Mantella viridis
12 eastern newts "red eft"
My solitary reptile is a jungle phase leopard gecko (female). I don't
like the temperament of most reptiles but leopard geckos make great pets
for people who like to handle their animals.
I occaisionally collect native five line skinks as they are quite pretty
IMO and then release them towards the end of the summer. I usually have
one or two fowlers toads overwintering with us. Sometimes I capture
chorus frogs but they are SO LOUD that they aren't popular guests with
us.
