Very interesting looking boy. Do keep us updated, would love to see how this guy turns out.

Thank you for comments Jimifrog and Eel Noob! Will name him Stilgar!

Stilgar has been croaking for the past few days every evening! Sounds like a big gross "burp" after a nice meal, he, he, he.

Stilgar is reaching 5 in. SVL on a diet of dusted crickets and night crawlers he eats aggressively. Went from daily to every other day feedings shortly before he reached 3 in. SVL.

At what length is it recommended a change in current feeding schedule and to what? Thank you!

Little update on Stilgar but no new pics, sorry. Camera went to son as Christmas present (wanted DSLR... my DSLR) and currently waiting for a nice digital rangefinder being introduced late March.

Stilgar is well and on it's way to 6 in. now. Slowed feeding to every 2-3 days and normally eats either 2 dozen adult crickets & 1/2 dozen large Canadian night crawlers or 1 dozen crickets & 1 dozen worms.

Lately have been feeding him after water change (with water drained) and he was sliding all over glass bottom when chasing crickets; so added a pre-cut green terrarium liner by Zilla. There are different brands out there and some contain chemicals so be careful when selecting if want to do same. Zilla has some enzyme coating that appears fine with frog to this date (about 2 weeks since adding). The liner is holding fine underwater and Stilgar has great traction and jumps half way his tank when chasing crickets.

Still working on his next tank (either a 40 breeder or 75 gal.) and looking for some natural grasses could grow on a wet marsh section. Maybe should look for artificial grasses too. Will update pics as soon as have the new camera and thank you for stopping by!
