    Red face OOPS! We Guessed Wrong!

    We got two Caatingas about a month ago. We were really hoping for a pair. Although they were the same size when we got them, one of them (Mycena) almost immediately took off in growth and is about 3/4 of an inch bigger. It seemed pretty likely. Well, the last couple days there have been some discruntled noises coming from "her" enclosure. But it kind of sounded more like their angry hissing noise, although it was weird that every time we heard it we were never near the enclosure. I was hoping that the Caatingas are just more vocal. Denial! Last night there was no denying! We heard a call that didn't sound like any of our other males. I peeked into Mycena's enclosure and this is what I saw!

    Not that I love him any less! I was just a little flabbergasted!

    He is still gorgeous though. And he has awesome horns too!

    Well, that's kind of unbfortunate if you were hoping for breeding.
    It's still a beautiful frog, though. Maybe you could save up for a proven female.

    That other one might be a girl. No one sells proven females of this species. I have only seen 2 adults for sale in the last 3 years and they were all boys.

    Still just as amazing as before. You need to get a video up of these guys. There aren't very many good video's of Caatingas.

    That tends to be an issue if I plan on breeding them in the future. Ill just coax a female off of you
