Hello! I'll be taking a look at this article for the January 2022 GAN backlog drive. If you haven't already signed up, please feel free to join in! Although QPQ is not required, if you're feeling generous, I also have a list of GA nominations of my own right here.

Infobox and lede

 * No comma needed after "dark brown back"
 * "low altitudes"
 * Where is it a potential invasive species?

Taxonomy and etymology

 * Good

Description

 * Why are the gram weights not converted into imperial units, but all the length measurements are?

Distribution and habitat

 * Good

As an invasive species

 * Both the invasive population is under control and no established invasive population has been found need "as of" qualifiers, as those statements are liable to change.
 * on this one a bit more – a helpful IP editor has actioned the other suggestions so far. Thanks for the initial comments! DanCherek (talk) 23:30, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright, added another source for the Florida part, and "as of" has been added! DanCherek (talk) 00:36, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Behaviour and ecology

 * as soon as rain falls I'd go with either "immediately after rainfall" or "soon after rainfall" depending on what's more consistent with the source; sounds a little more encyclopedic
 * Changed to "soon after rainfall" based on the source. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * No comma needed after "walking and burrowing"
 * Removed. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * where they can remain for a long time How long?
 * Edited to read "where they can remain for the duration of the dry season", with an additional source. DanCherek (talk) 18:04, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * "daytime" or "daylight hours"
 * Changed to "daylight hours". DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Diet, predators, and parasites

 * No parentheses around from opening of the mouth to closing
 * Removed. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Pet trade

 * Most of the first para feels a little trivia/WikiHow-y, save for the sentence about the peat-soil mixes
 * Rewrote the paragraph, culling some of the instructional text and adding a sentence about diet. Let me know what you think! DanCherek (talk) 18:45, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * "3 to 4 times" "three to four times" per MOS:NUMERAL
 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * "attributed to its muted colours" "attributed to the bullfrog's muted colours"
 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Status and threats

 * Switch the two sentences and take out "therefore" in the IUCN sentence
 * Done. DanCherek (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

General comments

 * Images are properly licensed and obviously relevant
 * No stability concerns in revision history
 * Earwig score looks good

Thank you for your patience; I have been working through several health issues both physical and mental. Putting on hold now. —  Ghost River  17:44, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and no problem at all. I hope you feel better on all fronts soon. Responded to each point above, let me know if you see any other issues! DanCherek (talk) 18:45, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for making those changes, happy to pass! —  Ghost River  16:36, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
