As many of you know, we specialize in breeding, keeping, raising the C.cranwelli horned frogs at the moment.Originally Posted by Jenste
We are planning on breeding C. cornuta & C. ornata also. We also have Budgett's, White's Tree Frogs, Giant Pyxie Frogs & Auritas.
We have many reptiles that we breed, but a few years back, Jim (the hubby) was eyeing an Albino Pac at our local Mom & Pop pet shop and finally broke down and got him. We found out it was a male later that year when he started singing us the song of his people!! Jim decided we were going to give breeding a go and not long after a friend asked if we'd like her female.....she was adult size & age and she no longer had time or room for the frog. We jumped on the offer and so it began. It took us over a month to get a decent amplexus going, but by that night, we had a couple thousand eggs!! The next morning we had a couple thousand "floaters".....and by afternoon, we had free swimming tadpoles!!! We were SO excited. We have worked over the last 4 years to make sure we produce only the healthiest of cranwelli frogs. Our Founding pair of frogs are Pudding (Male) & Jello (Female) and they are both still going strong. We have many of their offspring and are always looking for high colored, healthy frogs to introduce to the line. All of our breedings are done naturally......neither one of us could bring ourselves to inject the frogs for breeding purposes, so natural it is. We Love our Phibs!! We still have plenty of reptiles, and we still breed them.....but I love the frogs.....even though it is rough cleaning & feeding on a nightly basis. I have gotten over grossing out over cutting up worms or the slime. They make me laugh, they make me cry when we lose one, and they all have their own personalities!
This is Pudding, our first C. cranwelli & first male.
This is Jello, our first female.
These are just a few of their offspring.
Hope you enjoy!!
