The one on the left looks like a barking tree frog. I don't know about the other one, i've never seen a barking that color, i've also only seen a few barking tree frogs. Matt should know.

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I think they may belong to the Polypedates genus. I'm so far leaning towards Polypedates leucomystax because I've seen them in shows before. They can be various shades of yellow or brown, and look much like your frogs. They go by names like banana frog and golden tree frog because of the yellow color they may sport, but they have many other names too like foam-nesting tree frog and four-lined tree frog. They also sort of look like Polypedates colletti, though I'm not sure if that species is ever kept in the trade.

Big-eyed tree frogs (Leptopelis vermiculatus) (aka Amani forest frogs, Tanzanian big-eyed tree frogs, Cameroon tiger-backed big-eyed tree frogs, Usambara peacock tree frogs, and various combinations of those names) can be both brown and green, but their eyes are proportionally larger and snouts shorter than your frogs.

Here are some examples of various Polypedates leucomystax colors

Matt,
At the show they called them something flat head? We were trying to find info on then under "Flat Head" and didn't get any where.

How large are your frogs? Coquis are sometimes known as flathead frogs, among many other names (all depends on the species). Far too many common names exist to make them reliable. Coquis are genus Eleutherodactylus. They're native to Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, etc. They're pretty small though, so if yours are large, that probably rules them out as a mis ID at the show.

Here's a picture of Eleutherodactylus portoricensis (forest coqui). Its the most similar of the coquis to your frogs that I've seen so far, but it may not necessarily be a match.

If you scroll down this page, you can see a few pics of various coqui species as well, just for comparison. Most don't look like yours though.

I'm not even sure if its legal to own coquis or not. I know many of them are protected. They also typically don't have webbing on their toes as far as I can remember.

The larger one is about the size of a peach, squished on the bottom. He was the largest when we got him. The smaller about the size of a black plumb.
