According to a new Harvard study I came across today titled "Genes are not destiny" (published on Harvard's edu site) describing how, in layman's terms, you as a human are not completely going to be become your parents (size, appearance, etc.) Obviously the same amount of attention and research is not being given to our amphibian friends (at least not in ivy league colleges to say the least). Which brings me to my point, genetics does play a role in certain aspects of our beloved pets, but I believe our husbandry and feeding methods play a vital role in how "big" or even robust (if you will) our pets become. Since more and more data is being collected in recent years, we are beginning to understand what the healthiest diets are to our captive bred pets, and it seems that your frog in general is an excellent example. Granted this is one specimen, but it seems a lot of others are having great success in achieving a "superior animal." I wish I personally had the resources to do a full on study, but this is just a slight observation on my part. Your frog is becoming one of these "superior animals" and I think it can easily be attributed directly towards husbandry and diet.

It would be interesting to see overall growth and healthiness (providing you have a very deep wallet) on how these animals thrive on a worldwide variant diet of insects (Granted, of course, I'm sure many would be illegal in the US).

It's amazing to see a 6 inch male at 2 months old!
