    Thought I'd share some pictures of my other frogs (Western Chorus Frogs, Pseudacris triseriata):

    These are a species local to my area. The adults were rescued from a window well. The froglets were rescued as tadpoles from a small, drying-up puddle.

    Here's a better picture of the Pacman. Hopefully it will be more revealing as to its species.

    Very nice collection of frogs, Mitch!

    I love the pictures of the tadpoles and the little blue chair. Thanks for sharing

    Most seen and most popular are not the same. See C. Cranwelli is the most common in the Pet Trade, but The Argentine Horned Frog(C. Ornata) is the most popular for their striking colors, vivid pattern, and all around aggressive feeding behavior. Their overall appearance to most people is more pleasing to the eyes than a Cranwelli. In my eyes their all equally beautiful and I favor no species except for the Brazilian Horned Frog C. Aurita. It is by far my favorite, but each species has its own structural differences and spot pattern as well as shades of color. The green of a Green Ornate is much brighter than the Green On GreenC. Cranwelli, BUT I see the C. Joazeirensis(Caatinga) growing in popularity soon. Its rare and very beautiful. I'm going to be collecting a pair from each species of Ceratophrys.

    Just thought I'd give a quick update.

    My Pacman is doing very well. I've been successfully tong-feeding him for the last week or so. JIvoryII's tong-feeding video was very helpful.

    Temperature is very steady, but humidity is giving me a bit of trouble, as it fluctuates more than I would like. I'm considering purchasing a mister system and use it on a timer. If anyone could recommend a good mister for this application, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks for you continued support!

    I don't use misting systems. I use Reptifoggers by Zoo Med.

    I agree with Grif here.

    I used an Exo-Terra RS400 misting system. It worked as it should but cause too many issues with getting the substrate too wet. You pretty much need a false bottom when using a misting system to provide drainage and keep the substrate from becoming overly saturated.

    I would recommend using the Zoo Med Repti fogger that Grif suggested hooked up to a Zoo Med Hygrotherm. The Hygrotherm regulates heat and humidity. Just plug your heat and humidity sources into the Hygrotherm, program the desired temperatures and humidity percentages, and it controls it all for you.

    It has worked very good for my setup and makes everything almost 100% automated. The downside is costs as both the Repti fogger and hygrotherm together will run you about $130 or so (at amazon.com).
