Not seen one of these that are completely red for many years and passed up several youngsters like this about 20 years ago when my old mate Bradders had them in his store back then called The Vivarium.
Those that do not know these frogs then these are big beautiful frogs around 5 inches or more in length. They have a mean bite and fast so do not waggle your fingers in front of them as you WILL get hurt and if your a guy who think it it will be clever to do it in front of friends or girls, I warn you you WILL cry like a girl!
LMAO!
These will devour large fish and even mice and rodents even bigger than there own body! In fact it is not unknown for a large prey item, now dead obviously, to be in its jaws for several hours or even a day until it has digested enough to get the rest of the prey in.
HEY?! A guys gotta eat?!
In Argentina stupid farmers used to kill them, calling them Escuerzo, because they thought they were poisonous, curse, and belonged to the devil and deliberately killed their cattle. SO a pitch fork through them was the order of the day.
This was because they would see cattle grazing and touch the nose of one and they would immediately react by biting. Often they will react of moving prey close to them but touching is just as effective with these things.
So of course naturally any cattle dying was down to these frogs and they belonged to the devil and were tainted, poisoned, cursed and everything else. Funny as they were so easy to kill you might have thought they would have realised that they were NOT part of the Devil's Hordes?!
LMAO!
