I have just the one of these at the moment,and as you can see he's a very tiny baby,but  as they show canabalistic tendancies they must be housed alone.If he proves to be male(impossible to be sure at this size,but the signs are pointing that way!)he could easily attain a length of 9 inches snout to vent and could weigh anything up to a record 2kg!
His set up at the moment is pretty boring tbh and not worth a pic,he's in a cadbury tub in a rack kept at 82f on about 3" of damp cocoa husk and sphagnum moss substrate,a cork bark hide and a shallow water bowl.They like humidity up at around 70% + and eat bloody anything,and lots of them!
I have a friend who has a large adult male that will happily destroy 100 crickets and a med mouse in one sitting,and do so every 3 days.Not cheap to feed as far as amphibs go I suppose but they are so worth it lol,awesome beasties.

OMG wow how interesting!!!!!!!!
I know nothing of frogs really but boys wanted them
So he is gonna cost ya when he gets bigger lol! So will he change much as he gets bigger or still keep the same characteristics! he is awsome lol!
Shame they have to be kept alone! 2kg is quite a heavy lump lol!

oh look forward to some more pix as he getting bigger, are they fast groweres?

OMGbiggrin

2kg!!!!  my chihuahua weighs only 2.1kg which is kinda scarey that fernando if a male could reach that weight.

But he looks so iccle and cute (for the moment).

Its gonna be really nice to see fernando grow as the forum grows, really looking forward to seeing more pics of him.

Have fun........................Lindasmile
