Can these frogs live outside as long as they have an encloser and a nice shady place to get out of the sun?
Kurt is correct. African clawed frogs are an invasive species and should not be placed in ponds or any outdoor facility. Although, they are mostly aquatic, they have been known to migrate short distances across land to more suitable locations. These frogs are known carriers of a deadly fungus called chytrid. Native frog populations have been wiped out once the disease has been established in an area. Although, we cannot completely blame African clawed frogs for the spread of the fungus since the American bullfrog is also a carrier.

It is important to note that importing and keeping African clawed frogs is illegal in the following states, unless you have a permit: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Virginia and Washington.

Enjoy your frogs indoors
