    Default Help me out plz

    I recently was goofing off and came across what i can only describe as a jay leno frog. What kind of frog is this because i've not been able to find more info on this frog. I'd like for it to be the next pet i own...

    Darryn ("Buck Rogers") is from South Africa. He would be able to positively identify it. I think it is Breviceps fuscus (Plain Rain Frog).

    I think Terry is right...I just saw one of these frogs on a documentary on the discovery channel on African animals. They are rather neat frogs as they tend to walk on those short little legs and can't go very fast....

    If there is a way I can get one, for a reasonable price, I'll have one soon. That is one of the coolest looking things i've ever seen. I can't pass up on a frog that looks like jay leno anyways lol. The Breviceps fuscus i searched for seem to have their head on the lower part of their body. Doesn't really look like it to me.

    I know when they are threatened, they puff themselves out, hoping to be-or appear to be-too big to swallow. Unfortunately, I can't 100% say what exactly this frog is, but I completely agree with you: it has Jay Leno down pat!!

    I have seen Breviceps occasionally sold at frog dealers and they are quite reasonably priced.
