Had to agree, and wondered why no one had posted this yet until I spotted your reply.

Cornuta are stunning. The only downside, rairly available CB. I bought a WC pair but sadly they were DOA.

My frog is nearly 2 inches by 2 inches and the locust is quite a bit bigger than the distance between his eyes.

Proof in the pudding that the 'guide' for what size to feed herptiles is a load of old b0ll0cks, it should not be applied to all species. Being ambush predators, ceratophrys have very large mouths - nature has evolved them to be able to grab a large prey item here and there if needs be, as a small mouth would mean they would have to catch more food items to make a substantial meal - which is a bit risky for an ambush predator. Not having a go but Jedward have been voted off the X Factor tonight and am understandably very angry, sorry to take it out on you.

Is it possible to overfeed? haven't yet seen him refuse a locust!
