New from Norway

[Franky]

Hi!
Im a young woman from Norway, who is very interested in frogs and other reptiles.
Unfortunately its not law to hold this kind of animals in Norway
but they are talking about letting some be law here
so I want to get to know some of them.
In particular Xenopus Laevis.
Its very hard to find articles on this animals.. So I hope you all can help me

In advance
Thank you

Hi and welcome to Frog Forum

I keep several Xenopus laevis myself and there are many on the forum that keep them as well. Since these frogs are carriers of the deadly fungus, chytrid, many countries have banned them, so you need to check with the laws of your country. A nice looking frog from Norway as well as most of Europe and Asia is the moor frog (Rana arvalis), you might find one in the wild if you live in southern Norway.

Take a look at these websites:

Im only 2nd generation American. My grandparents (moms side) came from Norge. I have family in Bomlo & my grandfather came from Farsund. Im not fluent so I use an online translater to help learn and keep in touch with the rest of my family, since my grandparents died when I was a boy.

Oh thats cool Its sad that your grandparents died when you was young:/ But its good that you still have contact with the rest for the family
It must be many Amercans thats have family in Norway.
My grandmas brother moved to America when he was a young man. Unfortunately he has past away now, and its many years ago I since met him. But he has a wife and kids there, so my familyes roots are still in America, and thats cool

Hva slags dyr har du?

Just leopard geckos at the moment but Im planning to build a new terrarium & cant make up my mind yet on what to keep. I have kept Dendrobates tinctorious cobalt, D. auratus, Melanophryniscus stelzneri, RETF & Phyllomedusa savaugii.

Now Im torn between Dendrobates tinctorius regina & Ranitomeya imitator varadero. OR God willing, captive bred Phyllomedusa bicolor.
