    Biting your finger Shouldn't hurt your frog unless you do something silly like prying it off or dropping it. You just need to be aware of the possibility of a bite when you put your hands near them so you can avoid jerking away and hurting them (they're fast too, so it's pretty hard not to startle sometimes!). The bites really aren't that bad though. About like getting a stubbed toe.

    I think they really do recognize their keepers. I've been 'stuck' by Trevor's tongue several times, but she has always detached without biting, like she realized she made a mistake (or maybe I don't taste good, idk).
    She has drawn blood from other people that she doesn't like before though lol. It's kind of hilarious really. Everyone else is afraid to go into her tank.

    Hi I was worried about the same thing before I got Rolo. When I got him he was a few months old( 4 at least) ,which I was told is better to get one a bit older. He bit the shop girl when she tried to put him in little tub! I thought "Oh Sh*t" But I have had him 4 months now and no bite . He is sooo Calm , I always move soil in front of his face(no bite) I can pick him up and have even stroked him (no bite) I really dont think he will bite me. So at the end of the day its pot luck and depends on the frog , so I hope you end up with one like mine and not one like you see on you tube :O

    Pacman bites are not that bad full grown African bullfrogs on the other hand are a different story . Ive been bitten by 15 foot plus Retics, burms , african Rocks . Adult carpets , womas , boas , blood pythons and a bunch of different colubrids . I still say the African bullfrog hurt the worst . It may have been that in my mind it was a harmless frog attached to my thumb or it may have been the bite but it hurt and it bled .

    lmao, i can second that, NOBODY, but me, in our household is brave enough to change water for that big one.
    the goal is to keep them happy ( fed) and then it is not that bad, just funny.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
