You have given some sound advise. I would also add that these frogs should only be kept by intermediate or advanced keepers since there is little reliable information about them. I haven't heard about what happened to the remaining frog - I hope it's OK. The person I communicated with in the thread seemed very reliable and obviously concerned. As you well know, large frogs can be tricky. For the average person, keeping the temperature that low maybe quite a challenge. CHWT are endangered and IMHO should not be collected for the pet trade unless there are breeders who are serious about establishing a captive breeding program. They are native to central Chile and one of their biggest non-human threats is Xenopus laevis, which has taken over that part of Chile with a vengeance.

I'm going to advise that if the member gets a pair of these that as was stated in the thread in your link that they be kept seperately and that only spring water be used. No treated tap water. Probably chilled some how so that it matches the water temps of its natural environment.

You probably want to see a Herp Vet so that you can treat them with Panacur and flagyl of correct dosage per weight so you don't accidentally overdose them.
