    Type of frogs?
    Hello,
    I have loved both reptiles and amphibians all my life, I was hoping to add frogs to my ever growing collection of herps. I was wondering which frog(s) grow the biggest besides pacman frogs, I was thinking more of a tree frog. I'm just looking for a large species of frogs or tree frogs besides the pacman frog

    If you want a big frog, a bullfrog is a nice option. Depending on where you live though they may be illegal. For tree frogs, I love whites. I have some myself. I believe the biggest tree frog is the waxy monkey frog. Quite beautiful and similar care to whites.

    Which ones are bigger? I heard Amazon Milk Frogs and Whites Tree Frogs get pretty big as well

    Some breeds of good ol green tree frogs can be up to the size of a baseball... Dumpy whites are cool guys. Be warned they yell at anything loud. I really dig my little pacman but i have a phase2 blue samurai. The regulars are not so attractive. Look into tomato frogs. Theyre awsome hearty large fellas and a bright red! Amazon bullfrog or pixies are another large breed but they arent as bright and pretty.

    I would go with a Dumpy Frog (australian green tree frog), not only they loog good get to a nice size but are also very hardy

    Whites can get up to 5" but I think average is 4". I like the milk frogs as well. They are a bit smaller then whites.

    This isn't really what you asked, but I have some input, having raised both frogs and toads.

    I've found toads (true toads) to be very rewarding pets. Some, like Cane Toads, can get quite large. I have found them to be more personable than my frogs, and more rewarding to raise. Many common toads found around the US get fairly big, "tame-down" and are active and fun pets -- and generally are more "handle-able" than a lot of frogs. Many of them are also simple and hardy as far as care goes.

    Not too big as far as tree frogs go, but I have found Grey or Cope's Grey tree frogs to be fun, as well as Peacock frogs (big-eyed tree frogs) which are bigger and can be very ornate.
