Lots of good points. Environmental pollutant sponges, cold blooded, potentially toxic skin, parasite infested, not the BP's natural diet - all do it for me. I'm convinced. I wish all you level-headed people would respond to MY threads (bathing with snakes and kissing them, in particular!).

I'm still curious, however, how this question came up. Was it a philosophical pondering, or did you catch a frog in a jar and wonder what to do with it?

If you want to give your BP some dietary variety, try gerbils. Then you can ask how to get the BP off of gerbils before you go broke.
