Smokey Jungle Frog (Leptodactylus pentadactylus)

I recently purchased a Smokey Jngle Frof (Leptodactlus Pendactlyus) from a seller in Houston. She had it for almost a year, and since she purchased it from a breeder (that's what she says) it has grown to a whopping 6 inches. I need some extra advise on how to care for it. If anyone has one out there please help my out. I have it housed in a 50 gallon with cocoa fiber. Its eats, so I must be doing something right. Thanks for any help!

Thats a very nice frog. cocfiber bedding a large water bowl. You can also devide your tank plexy glass 80 percent land rest water with a filter. I have two males they are great frogs. Marlon

Sarah By the thub look if you see a spile growing? Females have thin arms. Have your frog sing if it does its a male. Your frog is not mature yet. One of my males has spikes from his chest and the other doesnt have spikes on chest hes very young but they both sing. Marlon

Marlon,

No there isn't any spikes aroud the chest. That area is very smooth. Also the frog han't made any sounds, and I have RETF in the same room who are always calling.Yes is is most likley that the from is still not mature. I don't believe that it is over 1 1/2 years old (going by what the pet store told me).

The woman that sold him/her to me had it in a 10 gallon with a dish that occupied half of the tank. Also I think she overfed it. She sas that she would feed it 30 of the big crickets every other day, and also a pinkie twice a month. Is it possible that it is obease? Thanks for your help.

The pic below is of the original caging that the frog had at the pet shop.

Hi,

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I have one of these guys on the way. My missus ordered it from thepetshop then let me no so just trying to find any info on the care that I can get. There is very little info online at the moment so could do with some help. Its an adult unsure of age and a she. Basic care info would be great, temps humidity, feed etc
