Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Does anyone have one of these? I'd soon like to become a first-time amphibian owner (currently keeping only millipedes), and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about various species. Aquariumstuffers.com has the Budgett's hippo frog, with which I am totally unfamiliar. Based upon the information it gives, these fellas seem quite similar in range, size, and diet to the Argentine Horned frogs. For a first-timer, is there any reason why these would be more or less advisable than the pacman or pixie? Thanks!

I xan't type much due to a nasty copperhead bite, but search the forum and read the book on horned and african bullfrogs by RD Bartlett. I would not suggest them as a first frog however. There are more posts too if you try using the search function.

thanks for the help, and good luck nursing that bite

How did you manage to get bit?

Was relocating a copperhead. Snake bit me through the bag. Was in the hos. for 48 hrs and still can't use my right arm at all as of 10/21 at 11:29 pm.
