AVS Horned Frogs Plus Budgett's Frogs. Argentine and Chacoan horned frogs, which are currently bred by the thousands annually, are some of the most popular of the amphibians. Ease of care, hardiness and a caricatural appearance make them one of the best beginner amphibian species. The author, one of the pioneers in the breeding of these frogs, presents in detail their housing, maintenance and most common diseases. Includes an overview of the care and breeding of other horned frog species. Once the subject of myth and superstition, horned frogs were feared because of their vicelike bite. Stories of these frogs latching on to the lips of grazing livestock and on to the toes and fingers of field workers 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 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 popular horned frogs, as well as the related Budgett's frog.
