New bullfrog tadpole, advice welcome.

theres been a huge thing with bullfrogs here, my city spent $20 000 on reducing them and got it only grew the next year they say. I felt like I asked to buy a hand grenade, she got offended I was looking for a bullfrog and was certian African bullfrogs are illegal here (which theyre not). I bought mine here but petsmart would be way cheaper. what are the laws where your petsmart is? is it illegal to keep all bullfrogs there? I read it was a kid in the 70s brought a bucket of tads to a lake in my city from the other side of canada and thats how it started.

The laws of frogs here are actually super lenient, you just need a permit for exotic species(which are even some native species). Bullfrogs are actually legal to keep. We have large enough fresh water fish and turtles that their population is suitably thinned, in fact, for every 30 or so green/leopard/pickerel, I find, I'll find maybe 2 bullfrogs. Other than that, NJ just has some pretty strict import laws for pet stores. it's mostly to prevent the risk of invasive species. and you can't buy turtles here, but you can own them, which is a little weird.

I don't even know what made me think to read your name backwards haha.

You said you wanted to make the 30 gallon his permanent home?

If i remember correctly, that's a little small to be permanent. I think an adult bullfrog needs at least 55 gallons (maybe more)

Permanent for now is really what I meant. I've read they need up to 75 gallons. since I work at Petsmart, I meet a lot of people with tanks and I also get a discount, so once I have the space it wont be hard to move up in size.
