no you won’t get warts, if anything you’re more likely to harm the frog than have it harm you. Frogs generally don’t do well with handling, it stresses them out and you have to make sure there’s nothing on your hands like soap, lotion, perfume, etc. It’s ok to pick them up once in a while like for tank cleaning, but really keep it to a minimum.

lol thats just a legend (not true)
Frogs can be killed or injured by the salts and oils in your skin.
They are not best to be handled.
But sure you can hold them for a second. Just not very long.^^^^and as said above me^^^^ Avoid those things
