Welcome to the damp side dazb I've been researching red eyes as I had my eye on them a while ago. I wouldn't suggest they're a good first amphibian as they easily get stressed. But as with anything new if you do the right research and setup well in advance to make sure everything is right you should be okay.
I'd love to get some eventually, but got my eye on loads of phibs to be honest... just need the room.
cheers guys... looking for a centerpiece. want to create a quality rainforest style viv. was thinking about pacmans but think i would be better with something a little more active.
they are stunning little frogs with a nice price tag too, but hopefully in a few months and i am finally decided i will get some.
