I saw a advert one a website that sells frogs and toads, The advert said that they have Goliath frogs for sale for $25. I thought that they were really rare and expensive. heres the site if anyone wants to have a look http://alphaprobreeders.com/
I don't see Goliath frogs on there. Ron (the owner of AlphaProBreeders) is one of our forum sponsors. Occasionally there are members of the Conraua genus available (the genus of the Goliath Frog) but the actual species Conraua goliath is never available.

Most likely the frog that was offered was Conraua alleni.
Oh, thats right it was a Conraua alleni my mistake. I just saw Goliath frog, I diden't reed the other name. It was a good site though. I found a good video on youtube about a man who has some that he sell's to zoo's YouTube - 8 pound Giant Frogs[/URL]
That video is at least a few years old. Conraua goliath is listed by the IUCN as an endangered species.

I have seen Conraua goliath in the flesh, it was, however, a preserved specimen on display at the Havard University Museum of Natural History. It's a very big frog.
Yeah I think it was made in 1993, but still interesting. They are great frogs. I hope they come off the endangered species list soon (meaning they are not endangered any more). I find youtube good for different
videos on frogs and toads. I have spent ages looking though them.
