The goliath frog

[GrifTheGreat]

Ummm.....If you do indeed have one of these there is no possible way you could care for it properly. No offense intended, but these reach 12" SVL and only live in rainforests next to rivers and streams. They are endangered and housing one would be near impossible.

Picture and American Bullfrog and how much space is needed to keep an adult happy. Large partial land and water setups are required because they are mostly aquatic even though considered semiaquatic. There are no care sheets because nobody rarely ever has the chance to keep them. The setup for a Goliath would need to far surpass what an adult Bullfrog needs.

I definitely want to see pics of this frog.

I definitely want to see pics of this frog.

me too, but it is probably Conraua alleni, commonly sold as goliath frog. Besides it is illegal to keep endangered species in Canada, as well as probably the rest of the world, unless you have a zoo permit and there is no way pet store would sell something like that or legally import it to the country.

I forget what the policy is for posting links, so if this link isn't kosher feel free to remove it.

Like was said above, Conraua alleni are frequently imported and called "Goliath Frogs" because they're in the same genus as true "Goliaths". I have seen them for sale before in the U.S., but it has been quite awhile.

A quick search yielded this link.

Allen's Goliath Frog (Conraua alleni)

Good luck!

Also, if you're looking for a fun read on real Goliath Frogs, Peter Brazaitis has some cool stories in his book about going to capture them in Africa for an exhibit at the Bronx Zoo!

Your link is fine. It may have been a problem if you posted the actual sheet since it is Copyrighted, but a link directing someone to the sheet is acceptable.

By the way thanks everybody!

You're welcome.

Looks to be a nice looking frog. There are a few species of Conraua so just look up the name and see which species most closely resembles yours.
