I know some snake breeders who use Pacman frogs and Pyxie frogs as "quality control." Really good, relatively small easy carnivores to easily dispose non-feeder baby colubrids or deformities.

I've never eaten frog legs in a restaurant we always gathered our own. Haven't been in years though.

i could see that, student. my pyxie is 7 inches and a dash. He'd gladly eat smaller snakes if i let him.
Nature is as nature does. I'll stick to feeding fish and rats as i don't get attached to those and they arrive already dead lol

wane i've heard of restaurants in the south doing that. i didn't really think they still did it.

I filmed this yesterday.. Yes, tadpoles in November.

Bullfrogs take 24 months to morph into a frog.

Trust me, they do. A couple of the places I worked sold frog legs. They're usually found wherever 'seafood' is advertised or the main food.

This makes me miss some of the food back home I know I'll never get (at least properly, even if I fix it) here

I'm going to have to go back home to get some real crawfish, frog legs, gator sausage, and boudin next year.

We had Sweet and Sour frogs legs in a chinese restaurant in Paris, was GORGEOUS - tho they taste like chicken

Yeah, I was a little disappointed at first when bullfrogs showed up in my yard. I like bullfrogs a lot, but in no time the garter snakes and tree frogs were GONE. Those two populations had survived the feral cat infestation, but there is nothing a bullfrog isn't going to cram into it's mouth. Any big frog or toad population is going to be a lot like a plague of locusts.

Bullfrogs in your yard? Never had any in the yard they were always around the pond or the creek bank.

If fixed right way better than chicken.
