African Clawed Frog

Question
i just got 2 African clawed frogs for Christmas and my mom don't like them but i love them, she says they give you warts. i wanna know if that's true; could African clawed frogs give you warts?

Answer
No, this is absolutely not true. They would have to have "warts" to give you in the first place, and they do not.

Do some websearches for African Clawed and find some care information for this species and maybe a web forum. There is a link to a good page below. You are going to need some UVB lighting I'm sure. I'm not well versed in this species, as mainly I am a snake, lizard, and turtle keeper; so check several sources.
