African Clawed Frogs

[tlindsey]

I gave 4 adults to a friend when I moved out of Ontario 9 years ago. They were 15-16 years old at the time; 2 of those 4 are still alive and doing well. I've read that they can reach 30 years!

Wow that's awesome.

Here is a article on clawed frogs from my favorite magazine. Couldn't find the article on the African Dwarf Clawed frog that article was around the 80's. I'll look through my magazine's when I get some spare time.http://www.tfhmagazine.com/freshwater/feature-articles/silurana-clawed-frogs.htm

Had this book in the basement lots of info on frog and toad husbandry.

Unless there is an albino form of Hymenochirus on the market today (could very well be...), I think you copied the wrong page. The frog the OP is discussing seems to be Xenopus, which they mention a couple of times on that page. Xenopus is like the Incredible Hulk version of Hymenochirus.

You may be correct this is the only page of the book that mention the Dwarf African Clawed frog. I also didn't know there were 2 species of Dwarf African Clawed frog until a couple years ago.
