Common Name: Argentine Horned Frog

Does it make a good pet?

Yes, they can make great pets. They are for the more experienced keepers. Many like to handle these but you do not want to do it frequently and should use powder-less gloves with no rubber.

It’s important that your animal is captive bred. Captive bred animals are healthier and are not reducing the wild populations that many wild caught one’s can. Always make sure the habitats are as close to the native conditions as possible
