    Yeah Red Wigglers can be Fed to Pacs and tree frogs. Offer the real little ones to babies so you don't have to cut them. When hurt or threatened Red Wigglers release a noxious secretion that both tastes and smells bad.

    i keep one end of the viv in the low 80's and the cooler side stays around 75. i keep reading and being told that these guys (esp. juvies) like the low 80's, but my little dude stays on the cool side at all times. granted, the water dish is on the warm side (i read that they like this), but he's not even close to the warm side. ever. he has fake vines for security, humidity is always between 75 and 80%: my set-up runs like a dream. think he just prefers the cooler temps or maybe i should put the water on the cool side?

    That's absolutely fine. As long as the ambient air temp is 80° then all is well. They switch back and forth between warm and. cool sides, but do have their favorite spots in which they like to burrow.

    what sets apart a caatinga from the rest? in looking at some of the pics on here, i can't tell them apart from my little guy....horns are the same, patterning and coloration are the same, etc.

    From what I have seen (pics) is that Caatingas can be predominantly apple green and lack of patterns:



    Although at times you'll see green with shades of reddish brown to dark brown(see below)



    Also, if you pay extra attention to the horns above their eyes, they probably has one of the "pointiest" projections next to Cornuta although not nearly as long. Additionally, the pupils look quite different from Cranwelli, Ornata, or fantasy.

    Look at those horns and eyes, aren't they beautiful?


    Another character that I heard is that Mikesfrog, who breeds these guys, also stated that they are the most hyper & active species in the genus of Ceratophrys. Perhaps due to the fact that they're smaller (usually 4~4.5 inch SVL).

    I have never seen one in my life and these pics and info are all from internet, so I could be wrong on some of the stuff. Anyone feel free to correct me.
