Frogs in SA

Just some photos of the frogs I've come across since moving here... They're all pretty common species I think, but it's still exciting for me- we only had little leopard frogs back home! Hopefully I'll get a chance to see even more soon!

Pobblebonk, or Banjo frog. Limnodynastes dumerili. This one was sitting in the middle of the road in the city after a heavy rain. I moved it to a safer spot

Spotted grass frog, Limnodynastes tasmaniensis. The first is an adult, the others are probably newly morphed, they're so small. Last night there were hordes of them hopping across the road. Luckily a quiet street, or it would have been the end of most of them!

Brown tree frog, Litoria ewingi. Found in the swimming pool, extremely active little guy and probably my favourite so far.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
