I was out out herping/walking and a found a big frog but I don't know what kind it is. It is very dark in color and is about 4-5 inches long. My location is southern california. Sorry but I am not able to post any pics. Sorry the description is so vague. I want to know because I brought it home and want to find out the husbandry requirements of the animal. Any replies would be great. Thanks

From your discription, I cannot tell you what kind of frog it is.
If you do not know what kind of frog it is, what its care requirements are, or what to do with it, it would be better for the frog if you take it back to exactly where you found it and release it.
Taking an animal from the wild and keeping it captive is rarely a good idea, but if you are not able to properly care for it, it is best not to take the animal in the first place.

Alright I agree. I figured it shouldn't be to hard. Its lives in my area so the heat is fine. Frogs usually eat crickets and fish. It won't live good in captivity? If not I will release it. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Ummm you sure it's a frog and not a toad? I have no idea what it is. But if you go Here you could try to find it since you seen it.

The reason why I took it in the first place is it was in a shallow puddle of water. I thought when that dries up then what. Should I just find any lake or pond around me and leave it there?

I just found out it is a non-native species and is damaging our ecological balance. So know I can't put it back where I got it. Now what? All you experts this is the time to post .

If you are in California, it is a rare find to catch a Bullfrog.
The are classified as exotic in your area of the country.

he said it WAS a bullfrog. That leads me to beleive it has changed into something new? Maybe a witch turned it into a toad LOL. Bullfrogs will eat anything they can get in their mouth. Mice, small turtles, other frogs, small lizards and snakes, fish, bugs....you name it, they will likely eat it.
A better description would have helped. Like when you s | |
