My big fat Rana Aurora

[DFM]

This here is Hopsin. He is a wild caught r. aurora that my friend got january of 2012. My friend no longer could care for the frogs so I am now the owner of this huge (~4in long) frog.

Nice! Where'd you find it? Reminds me of my juvenile Bullfrog Gnag [Guh-nagg]

I do suggest breeding it. Those frogs are actually endangered [In my area, at least], but if you could breed the frogs, putting the eggs, tadpoles or froglets into a nearby lake, it could help reboost their population. Just a thought.

I didnt find it. It was found by a friend of mine who used to be my roommate then moved out, leaving the frogs behind.

I will do some more research about the local population and conservation status. Breeding it would be a challenging and rewarding project, I may just have to consider this

I remember, he found it in his front yard in suburban western washington.

That is one beautiful looking frog, and looks very well cared for.

I agree. The red coloration is amazing, and it looks to be of a healthy weight and size. He is really beautiful. In my area, spotting a Rana Aurora is a rare and precious moment. We usually only have Green frogs or Bullfrogs here.

Beautiful frog, I think there's something cool about keeping something that you can say you caught yourself locally.
