Cool frogs. I always enjoy looking at the dart frog exhibit at the zoo every year.

You should check out the rainforest exhibit at the Cleveland Zoo - tons of frogs and similar in that display.  My wife and I went a few years back.  She really liked the milk frogs.  I liked some of the more weird frogs.

I like the ones at the zoo also. Milk frogs are cool, I've actually been looking into getting one of them for my 18 x 18 x 24 exo-terra tank

Cool, post some pics if you get one.  Are they hard to keep?  Probably not any harder than dart frogs, right?

No they're pretty easy to care for. Theyre similar to dart frogs in how they need a pretty high humidity and moderate temp. They also stay fairly small so they can be fed the same thing as the dart frogs

Good info.  Last time we had a discussion about this at my house it went like..."Hey, let's get some frogs"  "OK"  "You have to pick up crickets at least every other week and occasionally mist them"  Silence.  "I guess we're not getting frogs, eh?"  :) 

So we're pretty much at the place that I'm not buying any pet that I can't stick a hose in its tank and clean out the crud.  When I want to get my fill of scooping up waste e.g. litterbox/dog kennel I can always go change my one year old's diapers.  :)
