I am going at this using a similar format to the other posts I made in similar threads. I will be using iNaturalist's taxon scheme (in case there are any differences although I don't expect anything major).

In total, I have observed at least one representative from all 3 Amphibia orders and 30 out of 78 families. This includes 15 out of 59 Anura families, 7 out of 9 Caudata families, and 1 out of 10 Gymnophiona families.

Families Observed.
Observed only in captivity.
Observed only in the wild.

I only keep track of captive sightings, and only added amphibians onto my list in 2023, so might be missing some families I saw prior to this only.

I've seen all three orders.

Families seen:
Anura (15/59)
  • Bombinatoridae
  • Bufonidae
  • Ceratobatrachidae
  • Ceratophryidae
  • Dendrobatidae
  • Hylidae
  • Hyperoliidae
  • Leptodactylidae
  • Mantellidae
  • Microhylidae
  • Pipidae
  • Pyxicephalidae
  • Ranidae
  • Rhacophoridae
  • Telmatobiidae
Gymnophiona (1/10)
  • Typhlonectidae
Urodela (5/9)
  • Ambyostomatidae
  • Cryptobranchidae
  • Plethodontidae
  • Salamandridae
  • Sirenidae
 
Thought I'd have a go after the Darwin's frogs showed up in London - some pretty big omissions for now, no Eleutherodactylids or Dicroglossids...
Bold is captive, underlined is wild (not many of those yet...)

Admittedly haven't seen much in the way of amphibians!
Bold - wild
Underlined - captive
Both - wild and captive

*I'm assuming this taxonomy includes Pelodryadidae within Hylidae

**If you treat Lymnodynastidae as distinct from Myobatrachidae, I have seen Myobatrachidae captive only, and Lymnodynastidae both wild and captive

I think it's time for an update, as I've seen a good few new families since I posted this - all captive only

*I'm assuming this taxonomy includes Pelodryadidae within Hylidae. If you'd rather consider them seperate, I've seen Pelodryadidae both wild and captive, and Hylidae sensu stricto captive only

**If you treat Lymnodynastidae as distinct from Myobatrachidae, I have seen Myobatrachidae captive only, and Lymnodynastidae both wild and captive
 
I make my totals as two out of three Orders seen, and 19 Families seen in total (out of 77): 10 captive-only [underlined], and 9 both wild and captive [in bold and underlined]. I haven’t seen any Families wild-only. The main caveat with amphibians is that a bunch of wild frogs I see remain unidentified, and there may be some captive ones I’ve forgotten about.

In brief:

**Order Anura (frogs and toads)
13 out of 57 Families seen: 5 captive-only, and 8 captive and wild.

**Order Caudata (salamanders)
6 out of 10 Families seen: 5 captive-only, and 1 captive and wild.

**Order Gymnophiona (caecilians)
0 out of 10 Families seen
