Lepidobatrachus is a genus of ceratophryidid frogs. They are commonly known as Paraguay horned frogs or Budgett's frogs (in honor of John Samuel Budgett, who described the genus), although the latter technically describes a specific species, Lepidobatrachus laevis.

Geographic range

Lepidobatrachus are found in South America, in Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia.

Description

It says its wensday my dudes

In captivity

Budgett's frogs are very rarely found in a traditional chain pet shop. The most commonly available species is L. laevis. Due to their comical appearance, they tend to make an attractive option for the intermediate to advanced amphibian keeper. They have an average lifespan of about 10 years.

In online culture

In certain areas of the internet, Budgett's frogs are known as the "Wednesday frog", as a result of their association with a frequently posted internet meme of a Budgett's frog alongside the caption "It is Wednesday, my dudes".
