Here are some quick pictures I took today of my beloved fatties.
Sloppy Joe, my male Pyxie frog (P. adspersus), was living up to his name. His diet consists of about 10 dozen crickets a week, with a 2 week break every so often. Or roaches/crickets supplemented with a baby mouse or two about every month or so.
Corporal Beef, my female Ornate Horned Frog (C. ornata) is turning 3 years old at the end of this month (I was told she morphed on the first of october, so I count that as her b-day). She may be royally boring, but dag-nammit, she is pretty, and has a special place in my heart. Note the Certified Angus Beef sign next to her tank ;)

Enjoy the pics, gang.






Here's Slop sitting next to a .50 BMG cartridge for reference. .50 BMG is about 5 and a half inches from primer to tip of projectile. Slop is sitting around 8 inches.


And here's the soon to be birthday girl, Corporal Beef.

I'm sure of it, haha. As your name suggests, you have a fat one for these guys. How are the C. aurita's doing? How is their care? etc. Saw that you got some on some forum a while back.

I'm not sure why but these things always crack me up. Frogs and toads in general make me laugh....

They're hilarious. Seeing Sloppy Joe eat and use his hand hands never gets old.

Corporal Beef looks like one of the coolest frogs ever! I so want one....


These have to be heated all of the time? What scared me away was the fact I hear they get impaction easy because of the substrate they live in. My brothers dragon passed away because of impaction built up by the previous owners neglect for substrate.

Given proper care, impaction is rather rare. I sent you a PM.


But in all honesty, I say you get a pyxie. ;)
