Hi,

Recently bought a surinam horned frog at a reptile show. He or she is CB. He was very striking green. He's been with me like 2 mo. Always following advice of this forum.

First I had him in a 10 gal with eco earth and organic pot soil mixed for future plants. And a repti carpet at bottom of tank.


Feed him crickets, 2 large nightcrawlers and occasional mealworm (in their different stages of metamorphosis lol) I hate them.

Anyway recently he started been bloated snd darker green. He still eats eagerly. Gave him a bath and poop. IDK if hes going to shed, sick, idk. I know i havent buy a thermostat.

right now moved him to a smaller enclosure wich I covered with paper, close to my gecko lampsfor bwtter heat source at night (black light is on the left).

Please help. Is he obese or something? Is he sick?

I know he's not a regular pacman.

going to send pics of he been tiny and 2 month later.

If I spray him dechlorinated water he is turned on and debloats. But when I stop he resumes.

House temp usually run in the 73-78. last week dropped to 69 at night. I live in the bayou.

Please help! I want a healthy froggy!

Thank you
