    Default OK...how big do Brazilian's really get?

    i have read and read so maybe i'm not looking in the right places. i have heard the legend of the 10inch frog, but i haven't seen any pictures. so how big do these things really get?

    Reports of 9-10 inches in the wild; a large dinner plate. This is not a credible source though, so there's still more research to be done on these guys in their natural habitat.

    Captive breeding reports, they started popping up a couple years ago in the US. FrogRanch and Phillipe's crew successfully bred these guys for the first time. I'm not sure if they have any updated information on these guys growth.

    Look up the the Manchester Zoo in England. They have a 30 plus year old Pacman named Sumo. He looks to be this large. Closest frog to the legend that I can get for you.

    Thanks. Maybe the guy that's holding Sumo is really small Lol! He looks wider than the guys head. I can't believe he's 30 years old.

    kool. hey dont get me wrong its huge but svl not bigger than mine, In width it may just hold the title its quite difficult to judge when hes behing a glass viv.
    His age is ltterally amazing it startled me for years even now. I would love to know what they feed it because they dont give it insects/rodents i asked the guy who cares for it but he kept it secret.

    thanks
