Why is this article geared towards keeping the frogs as pets?

Because it is not a complete article. Generally, frog species don't get any attention, so if they are commonly kept as pets, that is the kind of content they get until someone is dedicated enough on the subject to add some good content. The Central Bearded Dragon article was like that, until I deleted most of it. If you would like to improve it, go ahead it really needs it. --liquidGhoul 04:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Content added[edit]

New content has been added by Alex McCune and Nick Jeske, as part of the Introductory Animal Biology coursework (Fall 2007) at the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point. The changes were also reviewed by two other students. Bio160uwsp (talk) 15:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Bala Thiagarajan (bio160uwsp).[reply]

My Frog who is an albino is now 16 years and counting. I belive he was about 8 of nine months when purchaced and we have had him for 16 years. His name is Mellow Yellow but goes by frog man. He loves to have his face rubbed especially when shedding. Just thought that this might intrest you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.231.250.51 (talk) 00:53, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was recently working on breeding the horned frog with a bull frog, and considered a few interesting names for this new breed: "Horned bull-frog", "Bullis-Frogus-Hornis", "Bull Horned Frog", and the most original "Bull-Horn Frog-Leg". Shortly after indexing this subject in my journal, my glasses slipped off my head and landed on the bull-frogs head. It was a most incredible sight, almost as if it had been scripted! The whole event was obviously witnessed by one or more persons from outside my secret frog-breeding chamber, and became one more example of our opportunistic society stealing innocent and original ideas from the common folk. It couldn't have been more than two weeks later that I noticed a new style of eyeglass frame "Horned Rim" all over the internet. Imagine my horror when I saw yet one more of my great inventions stolen right before my eyes! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.79.50.103 (talk) 01:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

other concerns[edit]

Dear editors and biologists,

Heading text[edit]

Indented line

I am sorry that I neglected the advice suggested in the page - so what if the cannibalism suggested to be avoided already happened before I read the Wikipedia page?? What psyche or consequences could have I brought out to the frog being?

Indented line

Also, I was not able to find a full information on Topics involving its hibernation period and shedding phases: tips and warnings. Of course, this threatened species is not apt to be kept as a pet outside Argentina may have been the point of missing puzzles. May I bring an Argentine horned frog to a vet? As my hibernated shrinking body of albino Argentine frog started to stink and rot inside the skin membrane, I am recalling all my mistakes, regrets and hypothesis in the last two years of keeping such a precious animal in ignorance. Could you help me understand my pacman more please?

Improper pictures[edit]

Every photograph at the bottom of this article in the gallery is of the wrong species. C.ornata is never brown and there are no albinos currently being bred in captivity... all of those photographs are of C.cranwelli. You can identify them at a glance by the presence of a spot on the back of the eyestalks, that are always present in C.ornata and never present in C.cranwelli. It's a bit hard to explain and visualize but it's quite obvious if you are looking at a specimen.142.255.103.3 (talk) 03:40, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
