Owensboro woman breeds dwarf frogs as pets

OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) — Samantha Lester did not become a breeder of small amphibious frogs by choice.

She said her niece chose dwarf frogs as her science project when she was in the fourth grade. And when the project was over, she volunteered Lester to take them.

In two years, the science subjects have produced 50 frogs. Lester kept two of them. She has identical tanks on matching bedside tables in her bedroom for the original pair and for two of their offspring.

She has decorated them with plants and small clay pots turned on their side where the little swimmers hang out during the day.
