    I go all over the forum, but since you haven't been on for a while that's probably why I didn't reonize the name. Pac has the right idea. Lots of humidity constant 80% if possible and let the little guy/girl calm down before you try and feed him/her in a day or 2.

    Cornutas are my all time favorite types of packman frogs! you're very lucky. Any tips? everyone seems to have that part covered but my packman frog would never take roaches.. i hope yours has a better appetite than mine!

    I've heard they can even handle 90%, but I don't know of any evidence that backs this info. I would suspect that its true because of how much moisture is in the Amazon Rainforest. These are one of the coolest and most interesting species of Ceratophrys.

    So after reading everyone's comments about humidity I am headed to lowes and petsmart to pick up a proper heat light/fixture, temp/humidity gauge, and some vit. supplement.
    I have a question about the light fixture...Do I need to get the fixture with the ceramic socket? I plan on getting a 50w tight beam spotlight bulb from petsmart.
    Also are there any bulbs that I could just buy at lowes that would work as well as the ones from petsmart?

    I would reccomend a ceramic socket due to the bulbs getting hot and incase you decide to get a ceramic heat emitter sometime.
    I also reccomend a light fixture that has a dimmer switch to allow for you to accurately control the amount of light and heat produced by the bulb.

    A tight beam spotlight might be great for reptiles and other UV absorbing animals but Pacman's are nocturnal and the light will actually be counterproductive. Would rather recommend a dimmable dome fixture (Fluker's makes them) with either a ceramic type heat emmiter (50 watts for 10 gal.) or red light bulbs. Good luck!
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
