Texan Bullfrog?

I'm sorry if I started a heated debate.
I may not be very knowledgable about the tadpole but when I buy any type of pet I learn everything I can about it and I will do whatever I have to to keep it as healthy as possible. If he needs a 55 gal as an adult he will get one. I know there are some people out there that buy things because they are pretty or interesting and don't know how to care for them so they die. When I buy a pet, no matter what it is, I'm in it for the long haul. :)
I want to thank everyone for your help and comments.
 
don't know how 'heated' it is but debate is a good thing. knowledge comes from talking about such issues. good luck with your frog.
 
As far as salmonellosis is concerned, the risk from herpetofauna is minimal at best...even according to the CDC, 94%+ of salmonella cases each year are caused by poultry and dairy food products...you are far more likely to catch intestinal worms from your dog or cat.

that statistic is pretty inaccurate for the purposes of the point that is trying to be made. a lot more people eat poultry and dairy than have reptiles in their home, so of course more people are going to get sick from food. a better way to look at is to ask what percentage of people who eat poultry/dairy and who DON'T have reptiles get sick from salmonella vs. how many people who eat p/d and DO have reptiles get sick. that would be much more accurate.
 
Does anybody else have suggestions for jessiej83 and her 13 year old son on how to care for their frog now that they have it?

Best of luck to you jessie, keep us informed how things go! :cool:
 
bullfrogs here tend to get friggin huge, no pun or jokes intended, I've seen some that were probably a foot long or bigger when stretched out during their jumps. If it's able to attain that kind of size you can probably expect to have an escape artist.
 
wow that sounds scare-ree...! A ft long!! :hang:
