Does anyone here, besides me, have pet frogs??

I have a small green tree frog. I have thought, up to late, that "Myron" is a White's (Blue) "Dumpy" Tree Frog, but now I'm beginning to wonder if he isn't of another variety of green tree frog?? He's not "dumpy" at all, and even though he's a little fellow, he almost looks more like this:

The frogs in this video, "Elvis" and "Priscilla", are Australian Green Tree Frogs. Myron is built like these, but not quite as hefty (yet). Myron is also colored differently. These are jade colored, supposedly characteristic of Australian frogs, but Myron is more of an olive/bluish color, which I've read is more indicative of Indonesian frogs.

Still, keeping frogs is an interesting thing. They really have personality and you get to have 2 "pets" in one.....because you get to be a cricket keeper, too!!

I'm trying to get Myron trained to my hand, like Elvis and Priscilla are with their human. I think he'll get better as he gets bigger and comes to know me more. I eventually want him to accept both crickets and worms from my fingers. I've heard that some of the larger Whites Frogs, in addition to some varieties of toads, will eat "pinky (newborn) mice", but I don't ever intend to feed any of my frogs with mice of any kind.

Oh, and Myron isn't vocal.....yet. He may never be.....and "he" may turn out to be a "she", too, but from the way he is physically developing with a longer, less rotund physique, I'm thinking that he's more inclined to be male.

I was just curious to know if anyone else around here keeps frogs.
