    Default Suriname horned frog arriving next week, got ?'s

    I am finally lucky enough to find a suriname horned frog, unfortunately its like 100 degrees here the rest of the week so i won't probably see it until the heat breaks, atleast it gives me sometime to make some adjustments to its enclosure and learn a little bit more about this species, i've found out quite a bit about this species by doing a little research online and reading the forums here, but i guess id like to learn more from members that keep these guys on this forum, i have experience with a cranwelli horned frog as i have been keeping one for a year now with no problems and i guess wondering if my green pacman setup would apply to the suriname horned frog i will soon be keeping, i keep my green pac man in a 10 gallon with a heater stuck to the side, and it watering hole is on the heated side, substrate is 2/3'ds eco earth and a third scottish moss, i keep the eco earth saturated with water and keep the scottish moss not so saturated, but fairly damp, under the substrate i have a two inch layer of peat and top soil mix, and under that i have a half inch of gravel for drainage, outside of the live scottish moss, i also keep live spiderplants in each corner, one covering its water source, and one covering the open corner of the setup, i also keep a nice piece of birds eye maple that i have boiled and baked, from what ive been told the plants, moss and wood are all safe, my green pacman has lived fine in these conditions, but if anyone else may have a different opinion i'm definatly open to them, the moss is not loose by the way its live and is rooted into the peat/soil mix, so i dont think impaction would be a problem, other than that my tank stays at around 84 during the day with a t-5 fluorescent light and after the light goes out for the night my tank drops down to about 76 degrees at night on the cool side of the tank, temps in the winter are a little cooler but not a major difference, humidity is also constantly over 80 percent, if anyone else has any advice or suggestions im defiantly open to them, these frogs are quite pricey and from what i collect a little more difficult to keep, on the good side im pretty sure this frog is captive bred, i could be wrong but its only the size of a golfball, and most wc's are usually at least 3 inches, anyways heres a pic of him and i'm sure i'll post some new pics of him in his new enclosure then that time comes, thanks for all of your time and hopefully if i might be doing something wrong in my enclosure you guys can give me some recommendations.
