Thank you!
According to Philippe de Vojoli there are 5 Sub-species of Ceratophrys aurita.
This particular sub-species of aurita does not reach that size sadly, but is a very nice frog. Color varies greatly among individuals with non having the same color scheme or pattern. This one is from Kim Thomas' stock. Each Sub-species has their own location in Brazil so I'm sure diet and climate conditions greatly influence the growth of the Giant Horned Frog which hasn't been seen in years. Of course when I was younger I can remember everything grew larger than it does now so perhaps their potential size has decreased over the years since its discovery in the 1800s. We may never know for sure.
According to Kim this Sub-species only reaches a max of about 6" and like other species most don't reach that size.
