African Clawed Frogs.

I never saw such an orrible animal before.

I think these are the little monsters are sold (or used to be) at WalMart.

Little tiny things as babies, and they never tell you how big they get. You just find out after they eat all your other fish.

I for one welcome our clawed frog overlord ...

Back in the day African Clawed Frogs were used as a pregnancy test for humans. More on that can be found at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_clawed_frog

On another note... I worked in a herp lab for a while in college and took care of one of these guys - watching them franticly wave crickets into their mouths was always a funny thing to watch. As a pet I guess if you like other kinds of aquarium critters a Clawed Frog would be pretty interesting.

I had 5 of these guys in a 100 gallon tank with my turtle. Fun to watch them eat, but mainly they just lay still on the bottom of the tank.

DJ - the ones commonly sold in Walmarts are not the clawed frogs but rather the smaller cousin Dwarf Frogs. Those never grow larger than about an inch and aren't as prone to "Houdini" acts in climbing out of their tanks like the clawed frogs.
Clawed frogs are actually banned in a number of states, including California because they become problematic candidates for species invasion when they get loose and can mess with local wildlife populations. Last thing we need is another "Cane Frog crisis" like the one they're dealing with over in Australia.

I have 2 African clawed frog one is green one is elbino,the green is a male the other a female and hse is recently getting black spots on her back like the green this wierd considering she is white,let me know if this a problem or she is ok? Thanks!

an advert i found - if anyone would want a clawed frog, this one is going free by the owner with tank :)

How do you know if your frog is sick?

These Frogs are highly invasive and also carry a disease that is wiping out native frogs. I hope that the people responsible for this site will remove this item, and that people will refrain from purchasing these frogs. They are largely responsible for the demise of amphibian populations around the world!

I have four of these guys! I just got them about two months ago. They haven't grown that much but they're gettin there! I have a couple of minnows in there that I caught at the pond by my house. I luv to watch them eat; I can do it for hours!

The eyes of the frog o like glowing. Maybe the frogs eyes are glow in the dark. LOL =)(=
