hey there!

my name is Christina, I'm 21 and live in Massachusetts, America. I'm new to the forum but not so new to reptile keeping. i currently care for a leopard tortoise, an eastern box turtle, a veiled chameleon and the newest family member is a female African bullfrog. I've ALWAYS wanted one but never wanted to have it shipped. my local pet store recently acquired one and i would have had them hold her for me until i had her enclosure complete but they wouldn't, so i purchased her then. i know this isn't ideal but I'm sure we've all had our share of rash purchases :P i have done research but not extensive, which I'm working on, ha. I've ordered the supplies i believe i will need which will arrive within a week, i will post pictures of the setup and my girl then (: any advice, suggestions regarding enclosures, diet, lighting will be appreciated. any mistakes newbies make, warn me! (: happy to be a member (:

Welcome to the forum I've had rushed buys like yours before like with my fire belly toads. You can keep your frog in a ten gallon tank (For now, but will eventually need something much larger Males need tanks as big as 40 gallons :0) use some coconut fiber bedding like eco earth or plantation soil (or) paper towels and a large water bowl, A 50 watt heat bulb will be good for heat. Hope this helps

thanks for the replies! i currently have her in a 30g bow front tank with 4" of coco coir, a large 2" deep water dish, 2 pothos plants and a half log hide. i have an older heating pad and che for heat which is 85°f. i have a humidifier on a timer to keep humidity around 60%-80%. I'm investing in uvb light simply for visible light, a new heating pad and a dimmer switch for the che (if i need it with the new heat pad)
