Easiest way is to look for false eye spots located behind each horn facing towards back. Good example on last pic of post no. 1.

G'awww. If they stayed that little, I'd get one. It's a mouth with eyes. XD

The big ones kinda freak me out...>_<

I agree, just something about a frog drawing blood...that just ain't right.

You know they aren't really scary and not all of them are set on biting you. Fear is one of the main reasons people get bit or attacked by animals. Kind like how bees can sence fear. Aggression twards the keeper can be because of instinct as well as impatient animal during feeding. If the keeper is rough with the animal its going to feel like it needs to defend itself. I will say that there are those large frogs that are determined tobite their owner because of dominance. Very important among males in animals species. Even in humans it shows all the time. The less you are seen as a threat the less chance you're going to seen as a predator.

I think if you get one you'd change your minds.

Ive seen both in person the aurita and the cornuta and the cornuta does have longer horns. I guess it really all depends on the frog to. Ive seen cornutas with crooked horns as well. Instead of going straight up the went inwards. I wish they had both frogs more readily available in the pet trade i would get some.
