what sets apart a caatinga from the rest? in looking at some of the pics on here, i can't tell them apart from my little guy....horns are the same, patterning and coloration are the same, etc.
[Qhave=aquamentus11;127688]yep, it's 4W. i take it most of you are keeping yours in glass terrariums? i may just suck it up and switch to glass...[/QUOTE]
I have the same setup as you with my pacman which is the same size like yours.
yeah the che works really well: i'm getting a range of 75-85, while still maintaining humidity
From what I have seen (pics) is that Caatingas can be predominantly apple green and lack of patterns:
Although at times you'll see green with shades of reddish brown to dark brown(see below)
Also, if you pay extra attention to the horns above their eyes, they probably has one of the "pointiest" projections next to Cornuta although not nearly as long. Additionally, the pupils look quite different from Cranwelli, Ornata, or fantasy.
Look at those horns and eyes, aren't they beautiful?
Another character that I heard is that Mikesfrog, who breeds these guys, also stated that they are the most hyper & active species in the genus of Ceratophrys. Perhaps due to the fact that they're smaller (usually 4~4.5 inch SVL).
I have never seen one in my life and these pics and info are all from internet, so I could be wrong on some of the stuff. Anyone feel free to correct me.
ah yes that's the exact site i was looking at. my guy looks exactly like the one on the left in the first pic. i didn't notice the eyes though. they are awesome.
A Fantasy should look nothing like a Caatinga. They are completely different species and do not look like Cranwelli or Cornuta which is what your frog is produced by. I have two young Juvenile Caatingas and they do not resemble any of the other species other than having the horns above the eyes. Now if you were to have a Green Apple Pacman which is a cross between a Cranwelli and a Caatinga then it would resemble one of these frogs and not a Cornuta.skull structure is slightly different between Cranwelli and Caatinga and completely different from Cornuta. Color wise it is possible for your frog to be similar, but not in build and bone structure.
i noticed a slightly more sloped profile in the caatinga and maybe their head:body is a bit greater, but was unsure if those were just juveniles
cool, i'd like to see one. i never knew how interesting these frogs were. i'd seen them around for so long that i dismissed them for years. glad i looked into them
