INFO & CARE SHEET for the AFRICAN CLAWED FROG
( Added: Fri Mar 30 2007   Hits: 38)

Although the African Clawed Frog, Xenopus laevis, is commonly seen in captivity, little authoritative information on its husbandry and breeding is available to the lay public. Given the fact that this frog has been known to science since the 19th century, such a conspicuous lack of information is truly amazing. It is also unfortunate, as the African Clawed Frog makes an ideal pet for seasoned herpetoculturists and rank novices alike, if its unique needs are appropriately met. Questions regarding proper food, housing, lighting, temperature, etc. are constantly encountered not only on USENET's rec.pets.herp discussion group but also in other herpetocultural fora as well. Hopefully, this sheet will be able to clarify the African Clawed Frog's basic requirements so that owners will finally be able to feel confident their charges are receiving the best possible care.
