Oregon, it's part of 'Murica!
I appreciate everyones help with my last two threads about water/bearded dragons. My last idea is some type of frog/toad/newt. I have been thinking and want something green in my room so I think I will wait on the bearded dragon till spring unless I fall in love with them tomorrow when I goto Eugene to check out what they have available (don't plan on bringing anything home right away).

I want a setup thats has a green color to it, like tropical forest. Like half water, half land with plants and branches above and in the back ground. So what kind of frogs/toads/newts could I do in that type in a 29g (30 x 12 x18) with 1-2 animals.

Stupid as hell
 
Pacman Frog would be my choice, and I don't think I saw them on the list. I think they're sceintific name is Ceratophrys cornuta. Great frog undemanding in care, cute as button and a voracious appetite that makes them interesting. They will try to eat pretty much anything adults will even eat mice.
