There are many types of pet frog which can be kept as pets. Carefully consider your situation and ability to care for a pet frog before acquiring one. They look so cute in the pet shop, but can be very flighty. No fun trying to catch a thin green frog that's hopping away as fast as it can. Frogs are not too bright. They have a tendency to crash into walls and bump their noses.
Your best bet is to choose a species you love looking at, then set it up in a beautiful frog habitat, like you would an aquarium full of fish. Same strategy - lovely to look at, not a good idea to hold.
Determine if you like the sound of frogs croaking and make sure the frog you choose isn't going to drive you to distraction while you're asleep. Croaking isn't for everyone, although many find it wonderfully soothing, like crickets chirping.
There are exceptions to the "look, don't touch" concept. Whites Tree Frogs are not as delicate as some of their cousins, and are docile enough that they're easy to hold. -
