New little addition

[foofighter]

I find all of this kind of stuff really interesting int the reason I went to uni and did a zoology degree. Where have you found out about it all on the internet or is there some books that go into it I be read all the usually books on horned frogs. Also find the behaviour of the different species interesting but I guess that also depends on the individual frog. I am sure I read a post by you some time ago about feeding response in aurita being strong like in ornate. Mines eating fine but prefers to stay out of sight a lot

I forgot to mention that there is a Stolzmanni subspecies - the Stolzmanni Scaphiopeza, which was recognized by Peters in. 1967. There is ver little information on them as this is one of the least studdied species. From my understanding, the main difference is location with one being in a green "tropical scrub" area of Ecuador and the other being in a drier, sandy area of Peru. It is logical to presume that the green stolzmanni comefrom the wetter area and the brown from the drier area (similar to the Cranwelli), but I have no scientific proof of that.

I get some information from books, some from other people in the hobby, and a lot from scientific articles. Overall though, there is a frustrating lack of research on these amazing frogs. Articles often conclude with "needs more research" or "information not validated." :-(

This is one of many reasons I enjoy watching the species first hand. I now have 5 of the 8 species. Someday I hope to have all of them. I find it fascinating to note differences in behavior and physical form. Although you can make general stereotypes about each species, I find that individual personality tends to trump those.

Best of luck with your new additions! Be sure to keep us updated and share lots of pictures!
