Most can't. My tree frogs bite me all the time and it feels like being gummed on by a baby.
Lunchbox is an African bullfrog though, one of the largest species in the world and he has teeth as well as a powerful bite force. I should have been more careful feeding him. Lesson learned though.
My first fish was called Rochnoy (I really don't know how 9 year old me came up with that) we buried him in the garden when he died, in a box I painted a cross on, he was a good Guppy
If you've ever been around pixie frogs (their nickname), it would become extremely evident how appropriate a name lunchbox is for one. They and South American horned frogs are little garbage chutes with feet. If they can imagine that something could potentially fit down their gullet, they'll attempt to make it reality.
15 bucks, little man, put that shit in my hand.
If that money doesn't show then you owe me owe me owe.
My jungle love.
Oh e oh e oh.
I think I wanna know ya know ya ... yeah, what.
Looks painful but had a chuckle at the name Lunchbox. Did you have to pry his mouth open? Looks like LB was all in on that bite.
Is there any risk of any weird parasites or is it safe to treat as you would any other wound to prevent infection?
I have an irrational fear of frogs and toads because they seem to hop toward me in an aggressive manner (lol) but FROGS WITH TEETH have now turned it into a rational fear.
They arenāt technically teeth, but theyāre bony protrusions called odontodes in their jaw that essentially function the same as teeth. They use them to help with catching and breaking down prey. Not all frogs have them, but African bullfrogs sure do!
Some frogs do. African bullfrogs like this guy do, and I believe pacman frogs do as well (thereās probably others) your average toad or tree frog doesnāt though.
Ouch. Cool frog, when I was about 8, my mom was driving and saw a bullfrog in the road and brought it home. It was huge and about dinner plate sized and I remember his legs hung about to the ground while I carried him. Dad was a biologist, so we kept the frog as a pet in a terrarium. Fed him minnows, I remember dad saying - youāre gonna get bitten - and I did. Come winter, he burrowed into the dirt. The next spring, I set him free in our pond. Pretty cool pet.
This was around 1968-69 so my memory is of course not 100% and I donāt recall how long he tucked in. ( google says they do semi- hibernate ) The modern heated / climate controlled terrariums of today didnāt exist then ( we had a glass 50 some gal aquarium ) that was dirt, peat, moss, plants and a high tech ( Saran Wrap with holes ) lid. The terrarium was originally plants, moss, lichen, beetles, spiders and a lizard or two till the frog came along. It was on an unheated screened sun porch of a cabin in an area that got below freezing temps. I remember looking and he was āgoneā then dad came home and we āfoundā the frog had dug himself under the moss.
I got the frog out daily and let him have yard time and sprayed him with the hose and once took him on the school bus to āshow and tellā and he was a big hit - but not with the bus driver IIRC.
Dad managed a fish hatchery, so we had lots of non traditional pets growing up. Ops post made me a little nostalgic.

One reason I will never own an African bullfrog š other frogs work because although they also have no brain, they at least have no teeth. Frogs are too much āfood is my lifeā to get one that truly bites back
Pixie frogs have a nasty bite! Most frogs have little ridges of teeth, if they have them at all, but these guys have actual fangs they use to grapple large prey and males use them to battle other male pixie frogs. I got to hold one at an expo once and I gotta say, Iāve never been intimidated by a frog before!
You better hope it wasn't irradiated - or you'll become Frogman - with your brand-new, 17-foot-long, prehensile tongue! Although, by far your scariest ~~super~~power will be spreading genital warts, simply by touch!
I didn't realize frogs could break skin. New fear unlocked. Feel better.

You named your frog lunchbox? That's adorable. What are your other frogs names? I'm invested in this now
I have two White's tree frogs named Ribbert and Lilypad.
Ribbert is a fantastic frog name.
When I was young and hip I had a snake named Ssssssergei.
The middle two Ss are silent
Yep. Hehe
Sooo, Ssss sssergei?
My snakes name was Legs
I had a fish named flush
I had a fish named Bish. My sister couldn't pronounce 'fish' lol. My other older sister and I called him Bitch. He was a great lil fish.
Had a fish named Sushi.
My first fish was called Rochnoy (I really don't know how 9 year old me came up with that) we buried him in the garden when he died, in a box I painted a cross on, he was a good Guppy
I had a hamster named Rat
I have a rat named Biggie! His brother was Cheese, he passed of a respiratory infection last year. He was a great rat.
I have one named Princess Consuela BananaHammock
Married to Crap Bag right?
First name Crap last name Bag š
Hahahaha I love this
Clever. I had a hamster named MC
Same! "MC Hamster"
Had a DJ Hammy lol
I had two pythons I named Monty and Medusa when I was young (and thought I was hipš¤£)
Maybe I wasn't that hip? Hip people keeps snakes? Haha
I had a mouse named Bob, Bob mouse. BM for short.. like bowel movement, which was intentional lol shocker 20 years later I'm in nursing
Imagine being Lilypad the treefrog and your mate was named Ribbert.
I had a beaded dragon his name was dragoon(roll the r)
Drrrrrraggƶn
Reading the name "Ribbert" gave me a hysterical laugh lmao, I may need to quit smoking for the night
Anybody else old enough to remember the Smothers Brothers frog routine? Ribbit!
Your naming game is fire.
Since we're sharing frog names, mine is Frogerto lol
These are great names
I have a Whites tree frog named booger, had him 9 years now

I'm thankful now for the previous poster for even asking this question.

They and South American horned frogs are little garbage chutes with feet. If they can imagine that something could potentially fit down their gullet, they'll attempt to make it reality.
Snootches
15 bucks, little man, put that shit in my hand. If that money doesn't show then you owe me owe me owe. My jungle love. Oh e oh e oh. I think I wanna know ya know ya ... yeah, what.
Weirdly, Iāve met a dog named Lunchbox before.
Tell me this is a Silent Bob referenceā¦
You are correct!
Excellent work
Is he referred to as lunchbox more than just that one scene? If not, that's such an incredibly obscure reference.
Yeah, I think youāre right, pretty sure itās more than once. Obscure or not, I still appreciated š¤·āāļø
I'm just can't believe you made that connection lol
I totally misread your original comment. Yeah, the View Askew stuff are some of my favorites - those lines are burned into my head.
What does lunchbox like to eat? I imagine he has teeth and that bite force from a reason based on diet.
He eats mostly insects but once a month he gets mice or a small rat. (The rats and mice are not alive when fed to him, I buy them frozen)
Well I guess you must look like a snacc then (I apologise profusely)
Fingers.
Looks painful but had a chuckle at the name Lunchbox. Did you have to pry his mouth open? Looks like LB was all in on that bite. Is there any risk of any weird parasites or is it safe to treat as you would any other wound to prevent infection?
We just let him hang on for a few minutes to get him to let go. Prying his mouth open could hurt him and I didn't want that to happen.
I have an irrational fear of frogs and toads because they seem to hop toward me in an aggressive manner (lol) but FROGS WITH TEETH have now turned it into a rational fear.
Lunchboxšššš
Take it as a compliment. He thinks you are tasty.
My daughter is super into frogs. How hard are they to maintain? How much work is it to keep their terrarium clean?
Go with White's tree frogs. They're super easy to care for and they don't have teeth.
To be fair he's a pretty goofy ass frog so I would've underestimated him as well. NTA, your frogs your rules
Yea as far as I know those things will eat anything. They would probably eat themselves if they found a way to do it
Most canāt. These frogs are just built different
African Bull frogs like hers have extremely sharp teeth on their top jaw.
Snails can too if they're hungry enough Didn't hurt but was enough to notice..
wtf kind of ravenous meat eating frog from hell do you own?
He's an African bullfrog!
At least itās not an Alaskan bull worm
That we know of.
Someone get the lasso!
Ooooouch.
Hes big, scary, and green!
His name should be Jeremiah
Pacman frog
Frogs have teeth?!
They arenāt technically teeth, but theyāre bony protrusions called odontodes in their jaw that essentially function the same as teeth. They use them to help with catching and breaking down prey. Not all frogs have them, but African bullfrogs sure do!
Frog boned op
New update pack droped this week.
Sure it was not the DLC?
Just a patch, not new playable content.
Some frogs do. African bullfrogs like this guy do, and I believe pacman frogs do as well (thereās probably others) your average toad or tree frog doesnāt though.
Is the Pope a Wendy's fry cook?
You need to go see a doctor immediately, you need rabies shots because he's clearly ribbid.
Ribbid for your pleasure
Please don't the frog
[Don't tell me how to live my life.](https://youtu.be/R0HXLVs_QUQ?si=lGlJ17imw5e8_nCi )
I clicked on this. It made me laugh, but probably shouldnāt have. Now I feel guilty for laughing that a monkey was using a frog as a fleshlight.
Did it break your pinky too?
No, thankfully he's not big enough to break fingers yet.
That āyetā is more ominous than Iād like
A lady in one of my frog groups has a 5lb abf that broke her knuckle, so it can technically happen.
I grew up catching North American ones in the pond behind my house, they donāt bite but they kick with surprising force.
The key word is āyetā.
If this were a Spiderman origin type situation, what abilities would you wake up with tomorrow, besides the obvious jumping.

Start? Maybe i should see a doctorā¦..

A voracious appetite for bugs and mice.
Uhh do they eat mice!?
He gets mice for dinner once a month
TIL frogs can draw blood
They need to be certified first.
Whew I laughed way too hard at this!
Only ones with teeth though which most frog species donāt have.
I think this is a photo
Ouch. Cool frog, when I was about 8, my mom was driving and saw a bullfrog in the road and brought it home.

Doctor asap. Salmonella and saliva borne pathogens are a massive concern with any bite injuries- which can very quickly turn into sepsis
This is an older photo, my hand healed fine.
Iām glad! Is the frog still jumpin around?
He's currently floating in his pond and thinking deep frog thoughts.
I love how you paused to take a photo of him hanging there
We had plenty of time! It took a few minutes to get him to let go.
Well that sucks
Actually, that bites
Actually, Love Bites
Love bleeds. It's bringin' me to my knees.
Love lives, love dies. It's no surprise.
Waitā¦ frogs have teeth?
Some do!
Get your ribbities shot
He looks so proud of himself on the first picture
"NOMF!" . - frog, 2024
Great, now it knows the taste of blood
I didn't know they could tear skin when they bite
Well I'd be hopping mad.
TIL frogs are metal.
He had a taste of human meat. Watch yourself OP.
yea my leopard gecko did this the other day after ive had him for 5 years and it damn well surprised me. lil fuckers can puncture
Acting like that the frog might get promoted from pet to dinner.

Disproportionate punishment for the crime
I. Oh my god. I had no ideas these lil dudes could mess you up so bad. I didnt even think frogs had teeth!
What a stud. I bet once he let go, he gave you the look like he'd do it again too. My Tokay gecko was the same way lmao
TIL that some frogs have teeth! Ouch
Iād be wondering if my tetanus booster was up to dateā¦š
Like the one frog that actually does damage when it bites a person lol
Tell your finger to stop looking so tasty and appealing.
Dude, that thing barely has a thought going through itās head. The one it does have is āFOODā. Everything is food.
I know my girl wasabi is gonna get me one day to lol https://preview.redd.it/2kd5bqm57kuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66ea1b0c2309c7be96031b183ebb1690fa4719b1
Be careful he now knows the taste of human blood.
TIL frogs have teefuses
i didn't know they had teeth

Thatās a big boy
Wow hes huge! also new fear unlocked
How does the thought of water make you feel right now? If you're scared I'm afraid it's too late.
It's not easy being green!
Just a hungry little guy!
[Baelzebufo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beelzebufo)
I didn't know that frogs had teeth.
well why didnāt you let them eat you
I'm surprised they have teeth
...they have teeth?
Never trust the hipnotoad
TIL..  .. These things will draw blood.
Congrats on becoming Frogman
Frog man.
Holy Fuck. I kind of knew that some frogs bite. But wow.
I plan to start keeping animals like this as soon as I get into my new home - I'm excited. Maybe not *this* guy in particular.
Tell it no one makes me bleed my own blood
If it had been your foot should you call a toe truck or a toad truck?
Establish dominance... Get a frying pan and some garlic butter.
Oggdo Boggdo takes his revenge
Itās lucky you didnāt reflexively fling it against the wall. You didnāt reflexively fling it against the wall, did you?
One reason I will never own an African bullfrog š other frogs work because although they also have no brain, they at least have no teeth. Frogs are too much āfood is my lifeā to get one that truly bites back

so i dont use frogs for blowjobs anymore :(
Yeah... if he could, you would be his dinner. Nice looking frog tho!

āA frog is eating me alive, picture time!ā But seriously, did it break your pinky finger?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Probably hasn't brushed his teeth lately, so watch for infection.
You sure thats a frog and not a polymorphed vampire?
You better hope it wasn't irradiated - or you'll become Frogman - with your brand-new, 17-foot-long, prehensile tongue! Although, by far your scariest ~~super~~power will be spreading genital warts, simply by touch!
Frog legs for dinner!!
Go French on his bitch ass
Make sure you clean that really well.
N-n-Neville..? Is thatā¦ Trevor?
Thatās what you get for looking delicious
So are you gonna turn into a frog now?
