The first picture is my larger C. cornuta, the rest of the cornuta is my smaller baby that jumped out of his little home. I caught him and took a few pictures after he was put back. He was really interested to leap out again, so you can see him at the rim of his little tub. :hehe: My Fantasy pacman horned frog is 2-months-old and has turned green and silver today! :) My C. aurita is a shy little Brazilian horned frog who only eats alone and never tong fed. He/she was raised by the seller in a rack system and left alone with his food. His/her new favorite food is Wax worms. His/her first meal with me after 4 weeks of tong feeding was legless crickets, so feeding Wax worms is good at this point. My other frogs feasted on their first Horn/Tomato worms! The smaller cornuta ate one and the larger cornuta ate 2 fat Horn worms after they were full. The Fantasy feasted happily on his first Horn worms. They were demolishing earthworms in the last 4 weeks. :)
 
Thanks so much for sharing picture's of your collection. They made my day.

The C. cornuta seem to have grown dramatically in the time time you have had them. How much larger, is the bigger C. cornuta then the smaller? Since, they both look fairly large, in my humble opinion.

Regarding the C. aurita, he/she, is just adorable. I hope he/she becomes less shy over time. More importantly, IMHO, is that your C. aurita is eating, even if it is in "private".

Please keep the updates and photo's coming.

I would say at least by 10 mm the larger cornuta dwarfs the smaller corntua. The head is fairly larger in the bigger cornuta than his/her neighbor. Super shy aurita and never ate from tongs. The aurita was offered Horn worms too, it was a no eating time with earthworms or Horn worms.. Pretty much crickets are consumed, I will offer those again since three fat Wax worms were consumed yesterday by my Brazilian pacman.

Wow, the size differential is fairly vast indeed.

I am sure your smaller specimen will "catch up" to your larger specimen, in no time at all.

Are C. aurita normally so shy? Or, is it just because this particular one was raised in a tub/rack system?

Well at least your C. aurita is eating something. I am sure in time, he/she, will accept a more varied diet. It is fantastic your C. cornuta are not being "picky eaters".
 
My aurita is just super shy, other people who keep these told me theirs is not shy and one of them feeds their frogs in a rack system.. probably tong fed. No tongs for this baby.. I hope to change that and tong feed when this frogs grows larger and more confident.
 
Your frogs look good, they are growing well. I really like the look of your fantasy. One of my auritas is a bit shy eating but not to the extent you say yours is. I have to drop the worms in front of him all my others take them from the tongs. I move my frogs from their enclosures to small tubs for feeding since the earthworms get coated in substrate otherwise. I'll try to get some updates in the next day or two, some of them have gotten huge.. One aurita is probably over 3in already and 2 of the cornutas are over 2in. If sz is an indication I seem to have a m\f pair of each.
