Hi and welcome to Frog Forum! I have been keeping African clawed frogs for many years and really enjoy having them. Yes, they are getting harder to find anywhere. In several states, they are illegal to keep and carriers of the dreaded chytrid fungus - that is known to wipe out several populations of frogs. I have a pair named Claude and Claudette. They are over 20 years old. The clawed frog forum is very active. Feel free to post any questions or ideas you may have.
