    I've almost been bit, they get so enthusiastic when you are feeding. I use those baby sized zoomed tongs as well though. I probably deserve to get bit for using them.

    Could not use those yellow ZooMed tongs because Stilgar would target my hand. Once my Pacman bit me using those too . Wish they where 12 in. long .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Here are some updated pics. Didn't take any with the measuring tape, but he has hit 6.5" and still growing. He eats every 2 or 3 days and spends about 40% of the time in his water and 60% under his hut. Eats 14 or more Night Crawlers each feeding. He wasn't very happy with being photographed as usual, but he never tries to bite me so I just move him around. Think he hated the bright lights more than anything.

    Just some quick unedited cel phone pics.

    Enjoy!

    It doesn't matter to me really. If he stopped there it would be fine because he is still large. If he gets up to full potential then I'll just have a lot more frog to lug around for baths, tank cleaning, and pics.

    Here are some new pics. These have actually been edited. When he is all the way stretched out he's 6.25", buuuuttttt he wouldn't stretch out so he is off by 0.25". Weight is without being fully hydrated. He urinated before being placed on the scale and he really didn't want to sit on it.

    Obviously he wasn't very happy about all this, but he will just have to get used to it Lol!

    Yeah it is interesting that he is so big at 4 months old. I'm not sure how big he will get once fully mature, but we shall see.
