    Thanks for information guys! Had no idea of this worm "Driloleirus americanus" existance. Would be nice if it recovers and some are breed by worm farms. A 1.5 foot or more worm would be great to feed the larger frogs .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Exactly!!! They do look a little different from the Night Crawlers we love as feeders, but I'm not sure whether these Giants sucrete any toxins like Red Wigglers do. I honestly don't know anything about them aside from them being rare and endangered.

    Hi Terence! Not sure if you are far from KL; but this place might help you getting some earthworms and info on how to raise them: Agricultural Department, Crop Protection Division at Jalan Gallager, KL. Good luck !

    Collee/Jerrod: Yep, the Giant Palouse Earthworm is known to be white as an albino and fragrant (smells of lilies); which could be a protective deterrent, or not. Here is a good Wiki read. From reading this other article appears they are not protected yet: PPF: Giant Palouse Earthworm (Driloleirus americanus) .
