New fantasy frog

[Buck Rogers]

Personally. I prefer using natural soil. you know potting soil? But thats just me. As for you living in africa.... Correct me if Iam wrong but isnt africa constantly hot? Like temps never drop below 70s? If thats the case you dont need a heater or another heat source.

Not a chance, our Winter temps on the highveld (home of your African Bullfrogs) dropped to below zero (C) this winter. We also have what is called blac frost which is a freezing frost that kills every plant.

In summer the temps will be fine to just be running a side heating pad and not under floor. I am going to also fit in a small flourescent fish tank light to help the plants grow and that should help keep the temps up nicely.

I removed all the sphagnum, the substrate is a mixture of top soil and coco fiber and also planted a large fern. Since planting the fern today I noticed he has not completely burrowed himself under the soil and has been sitting under the fern partially buried with just his eyes popping out.

Once again guys, thanks for all the great advice. Not easy trying to get the correct information when there is so much conflicting information out there and nobody keeping them here in South Africa.

Hi all

I wanted to show you all an updated pic of my Fantasy. He's eating like a demon and quite active, he has not grown much, still just a bit smaller than a coke can diameter - I can cup him in my hands easily. Is this a normal size for them or will he be getting any bigger?

Many thanks!

P.S. Just love his horns

I dont think fantasys get too big, like cornutas.
