We had them in the Frog Exhibit in Baltimore (p.s. coolest floating exhibit ever), they are basically pond rocks. It was there for a week before I realized it was on display. Very cool critters if you like sedentary unique amphibians.

Repilica magizine did a big artical on them about 4 months back. Thier also called Choco arrowhead frogs, I didn't know before they had a toxin but I guess they do.

Re: Anyone Heard of a Budget's Frog?

I've never heard that name applied to them before. The Choco are a South American tribe, and usually "Choco arrowhead frog" would refer to dart frogs that they often used. I guess technically the term could apply to any frog they used really. I'm not saying the name's never applied to Budgett's frogs. Just that it would be a really uncommon name for them and that it wouldn't refer exclusively to this species. Kind of how the name "escuerzo" also applies to many other species down there, including horned frogs.
