Thanks, she (i think, because females are larger than males) is a beast and eats a rat pup every week. With crickets dusted with vitimins for occasional snacks.
They are easy to keep. Mine is a relatively extravagant setup for a horned frog. The tank is 39"x15"x12" (LxHxW), glass aquarium, it has a heavy lid and keeps the humidity. It has an 11"x11" heat matt fixed to the back of the tank to keep the temp at 28c at the hot end and 24c at the far end. With a light strip accross the top.
I have placed a lot of fake plants,moss and cork bark in to make the frog feel secure (like they need to) with a water dish closer to the hot end. I also have a coconut husk background to make it look good and hide the heat matt.
It doesnt move much at all appart from at feeding time and you certainly dont need a tank this size. I just think it looks about right.
Most people i know dont use a heat matt or anything and just keep them in a small plastic tub with a water dish at room temp, which im sure is adequate.
GL they are a nice animal to keep.
