    Lucky you ! What size TetraFauna enclosure you got him for $90.00? Those things are expensive locally and the 22G (they advertise as 29G) I got was $120.00 !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    These are such beautiful frogs but because of their size, I could never own one! Ive never been afraid of frogs but if one of them lunged at me, id pee myself I think haha. Id love to get a pair of dwarf pixies though one day for now, im sticking with just my red eyes

    They can be docile towards their caregiver, but caution must always be used when reaching into a hungry GABF's tank. I've never been bitten by him, but have been bitten by my Horned Frogs and the large adults pack quite a bite so getting chomped by this guy I really plan to avoid.

    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 .

    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!
