    Beautiful specimens. Beware their toxins though.

    Unfortunately i can't find the site i read it from. But yes, the copper cheeked frog, apparently, secretes a mild toxin from it's skin.

    According to Azmi during the workshop, all frogs will excrete a certain level of toxins through their skin... The level of reaction to the toxins on human depends on individual and also whether there are open sores/wounds on the hands when handling them...

    The frogs look so adorable! Looks like the interest has picked up a bit since the relaxation of the law to allow (selected) frogs to be kept as pets.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
