Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

superworms for horned frog?
I was wondering wether superworms are a good staple diet for my ornata. I was thinking not at first, as I know that for beardies they are too rich for a staple food, but on the other hand, this is not a beardie
So if any of you have any input, it's very welcome!

Smaller mealworms on occasion are ok. Not superworms.They have been known to eat through the stomach of animals if the aren't chewed up enough.Crickets,pinky mice they will take if they are big enough.Wax worms,grubs,grasshoppers and other insects can be used and I am sure they will eat other frogs,but not a good idea. So be careful with the superworms.OK??

Yes I did hear about eating through the insides, I take the head of before feeding (gross I know), so that doesn't happen.
I was more wondering about nutritional value. For beardies superworms and wax worms are a good treat, but are too fatty for a staple food. Is it the same with horned frogs or not?
Unfortunately I see you have been banned ... Maybe somebody else could chime in?

On second glance... maybe not so unfortunately.
So other opinions very welcome.

Thanks for your answer Bill!
Sorry I got a bit of a language problem here... what does verity mean?
True, it's a bit of a discussion point I noticed. I didn't really mean eating it's way out, but sort of managing a few bites before the acids kill it.
Some say it will do that, some say it dies immediately...
