    Welcome aboard! Just becareful with the dwarf clawed frogs, they are a known carrier of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis or as it is more commonly known as, chytrid. If there is a heater in the clawed frogs' tank crank up the heat to 86 - 88 °F for a period of three days. That should kill off an chytrid that may be present.
    In the meantime, whenever you put your hands in the clawed frogs' tank make sure to thoroughly wash your hands with an alchohol gell and let them thoroughly dry before handling your White's (or any other amphibian for that matter).

    Kurt - I hadn't heard this before. Do you mind me asking where you're getting this info from?

    I don't remember where I got that information, but if I am wrong, it can't hurt to err on the side of caution.
