i've been to quite a few herp shows and i keep seeing albino bullfrogs. are these actual american bullfrogs? when i do google searches on them they come up as indian or asian bullfrogs? there doesnt seem to be too much info on them? i absolutely LOVE them and i'd love to have a pair. does anyone have any experience with them? i'd like to know if theyare sexed the same was as american bullfrogs, how large they get and tank requirements/setup and if they can be bred in captivity????? anyone keep them or know anything about them? are they a US bull frog or overseas? thanks!

Yes they are regular American bullfrogs except ofcourse albino. Care,etc same.
They are sold cheap around this season and during summer esp at some reptile shows. Lots of sites have them to but amphibians dont ship well if to hot in your state.
They are neat.

i wish i could find them cheap i was just at a show in MD and they were 40 bucks each! ahhh! LOL i was hoping to find them around 10 or 15.... but oh well, i may end up spending it because they are so cool. i also am a sucker for albino frogs....

Oh thats pricey. I saw babies last summer around July at a reptile expo for $15 each.
They had one grown male with real nice pink cheeks very nice. Loved your site by the way. My friend has 3 clawed frogs. They are HUGE lol.
Lots work due to big weekly water changes not to mention as you know eating machines . I really like your black/white one. I have never seen that color my friends are all albino.
I read there is a wild bunch established in the Everglades.

yeah, i'm going towait until i can find them cheaper. i'd love to try and breed them in captivity.

yeah, the ACF are monsters, LOL. messy and dirty but always fun the black/white one is a Piebald xenopus, VERY rare, it took 3 years just to locate him. love him to bits though.

there are wild populations of ACF all over the world. from as far north as the UK, and then all over the US. california especially, but there are some in southern VA and SC as well.
