Ceratophrys cornuta Amplexus

[Pacmaster]

I decided to give my newest wc cornutas a good soak and a mouse each tonite.
Usually, Ill soak them all individually, but for some reason, I put them in altogether this time . . .
After a few minutes, my most prized frogs are amplexing in their "puddle", which is nothing more than a 16q sterelite tub with 3" of water and 5 frogs in it.

So much for all my planning with my ornates and cranwellis(the "easy" ones :? )

The second male is now amplexed on the all-green female that is facing away from the camera!

Sweet. Didn't you get eggs awhile ago? How are they doing?

 

[Pacmaster]

The eggs were from my cranwellis, and they werent fertilized

This species, especially as wild-caught, is much more delicate and somewhat rare . . .

I REALLY REALLY hope I get eggs and tads from these frogs . . .

Good luck with those. When I kept them the males and females would lock up, but they never went further but never did they take it to the next level.

C. cornuta are great... though I wish they were less sensitive and picky. Good luck!!
