Who's kept them and what can you tell me about them, other than that they're big and orange and secrete glue when you piss them off:)
 
I know Jeff Corwin almost ate one on accident :P
 
I have a group - yes Seth- 1 female ( big , fat and bad tempererd ) and 3 small males tottally uncapable of being the boss in the house.

They do well with a humid environment, love zoophoba and crickets ( twice weekly ) and the female loves her pinky mouse, now and then..

give them a big place of water, because they love to soak ( not swimmers, though )

Usually they do their pooh in the water so pay atention to the water quality.

Lastly, although you can ask away after this, as with all frogs, do not use tap water ( i use reverse osmosis or rain water ) and do not touch them unless needed. They absorb everything through their skin.

Cheers
 
How large of a cage and what temperature?

heavy emphasis on that folks
 
around 30º celsius and a tank of 60 or 70 cm x 30 cmdoes the trick with mine.
 
Pure water is damaging to amphibians' cells. Other than that, thanks for the tips.
