My new friend, Albino Horned Frog, Graboule !

[GRABibus]

Hey;
so, here is my new pet :










Albino Horned Frog, bought today at a french pet store.
He/She was in very good conditions at the pet store, and he/she is very reactive and high feeding response at the moment. No stress at all in his/her new environment. Accpets already the tong with no problem.

Temporary enclosure : he/she is in a breeding box with some blond peat without fertilizers and with mineral water bowl.
Everything is in a 18x18x18 Exo Terra heated with a 75W heating cable.
Light is very smooth, ReptiGlo 13W UVB2.0, attenuated.

Let's hope everything will go well !

Looks good GRABibus!

I have a big doubt : is it an albino or a lemon lime ?

[Louch]

It's beautiful!!!

Oh, I wanna hug her/him XD

[GRABibus]

Can you please tell me which type exactly he/she is ?
I thought about an albino, but I have a doubt.

I checked on internet to compare, but I still doubt

Albino ?
Lemon lime ?
Lime green ?
Other?

Many thanks in advance.

Lol! GRABibus it is an albino. Lime green, yellow with green spots(Lemon Lime), and few other morphs are Albino morphs. As long as it has red eyes(and the eyes are red) it is an albino. It is a normal albino.

Lol.
Grifs correct definitely looks like a regular albino. Great lookin cranwelli

Today I made a first bath to clean her/him and to make her/him pooping.
Until now, she/he is a really good eater, accepts the tong and eats little pieces of canadian nightcrawlers, red runner roaches and crickets (Of course with calcium + vit D3).

Here is a feeding video during her/his bath : I liked the way she/he tried to catch this roach which bothered her/him




I go on holidays end of next week and she/he won't eat during 10 days. This is why I feed her/him everyday until this date.

Hope you have someone to care for your frogs for those 10 days. You can't leave them uncared for, for that length of time. Someone will have to mist the enclosure, feed the frog, change its water, and spot clean for poop. Otherwise you will return home to a dead frog GRABibus.

[GRABibus]

Yes, someone will come to mist and remove poops.
For 10 days, no problem without food if well fed 2 weeks before. She/he won't die because she/he didn't eat during 10 days.
By the way, I have asked to this person to feed her/him with a dead pinky. This person never cared frogs before. I explained everything and hope it will go well.
I will remove the water bowl and mist a lot the substrate before leaving. I will add enough substrate so that she/he can burry of she/he needs to.

Maybe I should transfer her/him in his 18x18x18x Exo Terra before my holiday.
At least, the space will be higher and it will be better than a small breeding box if there are poops for some days.
What's your opinion?

For the Pyxie, she is burried since 4 days. She pooped just before and the substrate is pefectly clean.
She can stay easily one month without food, especially when she is burried.
Someone will mist the substrate during 2 days.

Nice looking frog. If your friend has never fed a frog with a pinkie you should have backup food just in case. Mine ate pinkies in the store but I can't get him to take one.

The Pyxi may be ok, but your Albino is basically still a baby. They require daily feedings to every other day. 10 days is far too long for one this young not to eat without some consiquences.

Moving into a new environment is stressful and may add more negative impact to your situation. How long before you leave?
