    Was it a purchased frog or caught somewhere. And if so where was it caught? Country, state, province, or whatever.

    it looks like one of the species of striped marsh frogs found in australia, but knowing where your friend immigrated from would definitely help. both malaysia and south america have versions of striped frogs that are poisonous.

    here's the link to a website with photo gallery and cares for several froggy types: Anuran Photo Gallery (frogs & toads) - hope this helps.

    That is a painted reed frog. Hyperolius marmoratus
    Found throughout most of Africa, including South Africa...quite a common species and VERY variable in colour.

    A noisy little species too :D... high pitched whistles.

    What do its pupils look like. Vertical or horizontal?
