Surinam Horned Frog (Ceratophrys cornuta)

[Sublime]

I know how you feel (mark) its annoying as hell when you really want something and cant get it. Thats what it was like for me up until i got everything i wanted. Now im just going to to get my head in to breeding and see where i end up from there.


Surinams/cornutas are hard work when it comes to feeding to start with but i love the competion it brings you closer to them..lol..Most of my problems when i first started with them came from my other half...i.e. ALL YOUR TIME GOING ON THEM STUPID GREEN FROGS...lol


Ps; Good look on getting1/few...

Yeah definitely man, I hope you do good in breeding by the way if you pursue that. I'm sure I will be very impatient and stressed in the first few months trying to feed, but that competition that you mention and just the experience you get out of raising a pacman like that... The reward is endless.

Thanks for wishing me luck.

By the way your frog collection is all I would ever want.

Its a matter of time before you run in to one. You might have to force feed it for the rest of its life. Its a matter how bad do you want it to go thru all that trouble.

Yeah I'm willing to force feed through its life since I'll only be owning 1 of them and my pixie. Just want to keep a small amount of collection of frogs so I don't have to stress about all the other frogs I have to take care of, lol. I'm sure after a year or two it would willingly settle into feeding in the right conditions of not being placed into another bin to feed and not a lot of distractions. I mean I'm talking about getting a cb or cbb one to start, I don't want to deal with a wc, unfortunately. These frogs are truly addicting though. Maybe later on I'll own more than a few once I've settled into this hobby for awhile, then it's a piece of cake if you got the time, money, and experience. Breeding is a whole other story... I don't plan on ever doing that though.

I always believe if you really want something and you love that something then it's worth going through alot of trouble to keep it once you have that something. I would have force fed Grif for the rest of his/her life if i had to. I really hope he gets one. Then he can flood the forum with pics Lol! I haven't seen a C. Cornuta in any pet stores around me at all. Probably never will. Sad because they are such unique and beautiful members of the Ceratophrys family.

It almost sounds like one of those Romantic movies, huh? Lol. I hope I get one as well, thanks for your comments.
