    Indian bullfrogs are known as Hoplobatrachus tigerinus. I have not seen them available in the pet trade. Unless there is a captive breeding program, you may not see them too much at all. I understand that the government in India is cracking down on the poaching of these frogs.

    Too bad only the males look like that and that is only during their breeding season. Rest of the time they remind me a bit of leopard frogs.

    That would be a cool frog to try to captive breed.

    I'll bet they're related to Leopard Frogs since the vocal sacs inflate in the same manner.

    Really beautiful frog.
