Pixie vs Horned

valleyrattler77 May 15, 2008 12:40 AM

Not in a "Im gonna eat you way".
Which do you prefer and why?
Ive kept both over the years, and have both now. Both of mine are around 1.5".
I like the pixie because it actively hunts its dinner. It is much more active and visible and VORACIOUS. It is a cool-looking frog when young, with vibrant colors and interesting patterns.
I like the horned frog because of the beautiful markings and colors. The shape of the frog in general is what a frog should look like. I dont like the fact that its always buried, and not really active when its not. It doesnt really hunt, wanting to sit and wait for dinner to find it.
If they could just breed a designer frog that has the voraciosness and activity of the pixie and they colors of the horned. "They" would be rich.

I like anything big...the bigger the better, so I have to go with the giant Pyxie frog because of its shear size and voracious appetite. I do like the color on the horned frog...well, the ornate horned...better than Pyxie frogs and I hope to get one of each in the future if I can.
