Those plants are really boring, I bet that frog got away. The "teeth/spines" aren't even sharp, they are just soft bristle things. I put my finger in there to test the clamping force and I barely felt anything, those plants suck. 
Venus Fly Trap Eats Frog
- Thread starter cmersits
- Start date
I've wanted one since i was a little kid. I guess we just have really high expectations of the venus fly trap. I know i saw alot of shows on tv when i was a kid portraying the venus fly trap as a really aggressive plant. I think that's why it doesn't seem that cool anymore.
i think in the same way a flower will attract a bee it can attract stuff, and some of the insides are coloured and can attract stuff that way. As being to able clamp your hand-its not a vice, but humans are hardly guna be its prey-what they guna do trap out finger and slowly devour it! (unless of course its the one from the little shop of horrors) they can easily take a frog and things of such sort, and they are toxic which is why they can kill and break down solid into something they can absorb.

I meant like you know how when you try to swat a fly, you gotta be fast or else it will fly away...how does the plant close so slowly on the fly without it escaping.
BTW I just ordered one a few days ago!
for my little sister 
I had some flytraps before they are a bit over rated , I have never seen anything like that frog eating before, I bet the frog got away?
