C. aurita my new CBB Brazilian Horned frog arrived.

My CBB baby Certophrys aurita arrived from Pat Kline Luxurious Leopards from Pennsylvania. He is currently the only guy offering CBB aurita on fauna. This is one of the rarely offered "Pacman" frog subspecies. This is a frog that is called the Giant Brazilian Horned frog in old books and documentaries. I read females are known to max out at 9 inches when they were described in the wild. Males are known to reach 5-7 inches I recently read. The second largest frog known is the Pyxiecephlus Adspersus, (African Bullfrog), so these definitely compete with that frog. I am keeping this baby in a large 24 inch long tub with coco fiber and a bamboo hide. Not to mention a shallow dish of water and a digital thermometer/hygometer. I will see how this baby grows up with Calcium supplement and multivitamin food.

That's a nice Aurita, Pat sure does have some nice frogs (I have a couple from him). Good luck with yours and make sure to post some pics as he gets older, I would love to see his size.

I would also bet that not many people have CBB C.aurita available at all.

Your set up sounds good, in my humble opinion. I can't wait to see more picture's of your specimen as he/she grows up. That was a fantastic photo.
