- Strong hind feet used for hopping
- Smooth or slimy skin
Toad Characteristics - Short legs for walking
- Stubby bodies
- Warty, dry skin
- Poisonous glands
Note: Frogs and toads are often confused and sometimes have characteristics of both types. How to get started: - A 10 gallon aquarium with a lid is suitable for most frogs. The larger sizes will need a bit more space.
- Sphagnum moss-frogs need the moisture that it provides
