Hi everyone

[ricky]

Greadings from Denmark

I'm 39 y old. Work as a paramedic supervisor.

I was kinda forced into the frog thing.
My wife went to Thailand to visit her family and returned with a small indian bullfrog in the suitcase
We were quit surprised to discover this little guy jumping around in the entrance.

So now what? What are we going to do with this frog?
Well, at first I wanted to give it to some Zoo or local animal park, but after some thought i wanted to keep him.

I did have a snake (a 27 kg/4 metre Burmese Pyhton) many years ago, so keeping a frog wasn't that scary.

I bought a small vivarium to start out with, but creating a bigger and better one at the moment.

Take care!

Ext.... But They Have Fascinated me Since My Stepmom got 2 Red Eyed Tree Frogs! and then my Dad ,DigitalPunk, Started to get more and more frogs So My Brother ,DigitalDart, Got Interested also so he got 4 frogs But I wasn't very interested in them at the time so... i got fish... But I got more and more interested as the days went by so i got 2 aquarium frogs and one of them well we think one of them got eaten by my goldfish.. but i still have one and i really really want some starter frogs not aquarium frogs but frogs that were bread in captivity! Thank You for your Time!!!

No, sorry.
Its a asian bullfrog(Kaloula pulchra), also called banded bull frog, chubby frog, Asian painted frog, rice frog, or bubble frog.



Im not sure how big they will be as full grown, but think this is a young frog!

he's cute. But are those little things ticks on him? looks like maybe 2 of them?

Hello. I love these guys. They are a very cute species. They get around 2.5"-3.5" with females larger than males. These are HUGE burrowers so be sure to provide plenty of soil. It does look like he has ticks. Can you confirm? A quarantine process may be needed before placing them on soil. This way they wont lay eggs.

I just checked the frog in the vivarium and there is nothing on it now.
Assume it soil or piece of wood.

Recommend don't place frog in any surfaces other than damp unprinted paper towel or it's substrate. Frogs belly's are very absorbent and frog can get sick from chemicals in any surface.
