Xenopus laevis, the South African clawed frog, is a stout-bodied aquatic frog measuring up to 5" in length at maturity. Excellent for studies in embryology, genetics, physiology, anatomy, morphology, and the amphibian life cycle. The female can be induced to release eggs every 2 to 3 months throughout the year, and the male can be bred every 7 days. The frogs will engage in amplexus in the laboratory. Xenopus develops from egg to a small frog in less than 2-1/2 months and may live up to 10 years in captivity.

This Breeding Kit gives you materials for breeding Xenopus laevis. Includes instructions for breeding and for care and handling of adults and tadpoles.
