Long Nosed Horned Frog Megophrys Nasuta 5cm

“Meet the captivating Long-Nosed Horned Frog, Megophrys nasuta, a unique amphibian originating from the lush rainforests of Southeast Asia. With its distinctively elongated snout and prominent ‘horns,’ this frog stands out in any collection.

Feeding these frogs is relatively straightforward as they have hearty appetites, primarily enjoying live prey like crickets, worms, and occasional small rodents. They thrive in a well-maintained terrarium with ample hiding spots and a moist environment.

When it comes to tank mates, it’s advisable to keep these frogs solitary, as they tend to be territorial and might display aggression towards other frogs or similar-sized species.

Handling these frogs should be limited, as they can stress easily. Novice and experienced amphibian keepers alike can care for them, provided they maintain consistent temperatures (around 75-85°F), high humidity, and clean, dechlorinated water.

Water parameters should mimic their natural habitat—maintain pH levels around 6-7.5 and ensure the water is chlorine-free. A substrate of moss or soil helps maintain moisture levels.

Overall, the Long-Nosed Horned Frog is a captivating amphibian that rewards responsible keepers with its unique appearance and relatively manageable care needs.”
