Is this a US federal law? Remember that this is an international web site (it's actually located in London, England). I'd be very interested in seeing the text of that law.

As far as I have been able to find out it is not a federal law, however, it is State law just about everywhere, as best as I can tell. Many, many Cities and counties also have similar laws.

So, thanks to the Lacey Act, in some cases it could be a federal offense, since the Lacey Act re-enforces state and local laws. Simply put- if it is illegal to do in a state, then it is illegal federally.

Do you know if the releasing laws have any exemptions for minors? I know that states that require herping permits also have policies (sometimes? I don't know about all 50 states, and some have no herping policies at all) wherin children/minors can catch amphibians without the required permits. I just wondered if release laws have any age-specific exemptions as well.

Sorry if I'm keeping us off topic. I hope that speedy will be ok with the new guy. Maybe, once you finish the quarantine period, you could introduce them for supervised together-time? You could monitor their interactions to see if there is any aggression/food dominance/attempted ingestion spurred on by the size discrepancy, while you're there to break it up. Over a few weeks/months of supervised visits, you might better be able to judge if they can be housed together. (And Speedy will have grown a bit, anyway.) At 3 and 5 inches, does it really look like he can fit her in his mouth? (I've never actually kept bullfrogs, so while I know they're voracious eaters, I'm not sure how big their prey items get. I could easily be way off the mark.)

I think the frogs have already been introduced and house together.

[SludgeMunkey]

I agree Kurt.

The good news is, Bullfrogs are hardy lads, and this thread has developed nicely into information on adding animals to an existing collection.

Except that your signature says frogs are reptiles...
