Once the subject of myth and superstition, horned frogs were feared becaused their vicelike bite. Stories of these frogs latching on to the lips of grazing livestock and on to the toes and fingers of fieldworkers have been passed along for generations. Though these rumors are fading, the truth remains that these frogs will often go after prey larger than their mouths can hold, which can make for interesting feeding sessions.
Author and herpetocultural expert Philippe de Vosjoli, along with research partner Robert Mailloux, was the first to successfully breed Chacoan horned frogs in captivity. In this revised and updated edition, de Vosjoli includes all you need to know on selecting and caring for these large, carnivorous amphibians. Special sections are dedicated to other and fantasy horned frogs, as well as the related Budgett's frog.
The highly acclaimed Advanced Vivarium System books, founded and guided by herpetocultural pioneer Philippe de Vosjoli, are the No.1 books on reptile care. From choosing a pet, to selecting a veterinarian, to feeding, housing, breeding, and more, these books deliver the most helpful and uptodate information available on popular reptiles and amphibians kept as pets.BR />
