Amphibians Species Profiles

3 species profiles from Amphibians.

Pacman Frog

Amphibian

Pacman frogs are round, grumpy, and they eat anything that fits in their mouth, including your finger if you are not careful. They sit half-buried in substrate and ambush prey. Zero handling required, minimal space needed, and they come in a bunch of color morphs. The perfect pet for people who want a living decoration.

$20-$200

Poison Dart Frogs

Amphibian

Dart frogs are tiny, brightly colored frogs that lose their toxicity in captivity (they get it from wild diet). They are the stars of bioactive vivarium keeping. Thumbnail species stay under an inch. They are bold, active during the day, and breeding pairs will raise tadpoles on their own in a well-set-up tank.

$40-$300 per frog

Axolotl

Amphibian

Axolotls are permanently aquatic salamanders that never metamorphose. They keep their larval gills for life, giving them that alien look that made them internet famous. They need cold water (60-68F), no tank mates that will nip their gills, and they regenerate lost limbs. Breeding is prolific once you have a cooled pair.

$30-$300
