[QUOTE="Alyssa Martin, post: 136970, member: 28256"] Thanks for the reply :) I'm a bit conflicted now, but still am leaning towards getting both. I assure you that as someone who would just be going into the hobby that all caution would be taken, no matter how docile or aggressive. I'm used to animals that have specific care and attitudes so I think with a bit of a learning curve it would work. I have for example one leopard frog who has extreme anxiety and even a crickets running past it spooks it, so I use a very large amount of caution when dealing with this guy because he is able to be spooked easily and escape. I'm aware that frogs are vastly different then that of a OW. Just wanted to point out that I have some experience dealing with animals who are easily stressed. Side note - For those curious why I have a leopard frog when they are not to be kept as pets, it is illegal to release captive bred L.F.'s in the wild here. He was bought as a tadpole to frog kit by my mother's friend and they didn't want to keep 11 leopard frogs. I'm perfectly fine with a "pet hole" not something I'm to concerned about. I'm not looking for a display animal. However the Mexican Red Knee would likely be put somewhere for those to see in my room. I think I'm still pretty set on getting both (as slings or possibly juveniles) as I haven't heard anything that would deter me just yet. I'm aware that as someone new that a Cobalt Blue is going to a challenge to care for, but I'm up for it. Thanks! Alyssa Thank you all for your replies, I am still up for point on whether or not to get both or just one, however at the moment I'm still interested in both :) [/QUOTE]
