Habitat - Indoor :: just wondering....

i saw some albino frogs at the petco today, they looked really cool. Do you think they would be an ok mix with a RES in a 75 gallon tank filled all the way up. (new above tank basking area!) The frogs never go on land or anything.

No, the turtle will harass the frogs sooner or later, and i think they might have a poisonous slime. They sure are cute though!

My son got 2 small white frogs & put them in a 55 gal (also filled to the top) w/ his 2" map. It took less than a week for them to disappear, and I can only imagine the 'fun' that Jimi had w/ them (insert multiple shudders here).

I will never do that to a frog again (though I can't help any that may venture into our pond outside w/ 3 large turts).

No, since your turtle would undoubtedly try to nip and bite at the frog and may tear off limbs and probably kill it. Plus, some frogs release toxins into the water when they are stressed.

Not unless you intend on the frogs being lunch for the turts.... if the frogs have a huge environment whereby they can out jump the turtle the might have a fighting chance...

octopusgirl8 made a good point too... you don't mention what type of frogs they are (other than albino) and many amphibians have toxins in their skin, even if they're not considered toxic (because they their levels of toxin they may not be harmful to humans) but can still be so for smaller animals such as turtles...

i'm going to assume they are the african clawed frogs. I don't know about poison, but i do know that they can (if they survive) get HUGE. probably not advisable either way.

Lu-Nitsu -- Not no, but heck no!! Unless you want to give them a expensive meal. It may take a while but they are "LUNCH"
