you should definately not be keepin an argentined horned in a cage without the frogs needs, should add more ground cover and definately a water source for him
unless that cage is still in the making you should definately reconsider if you are ready to have the frog

First of all, PEOPLE calm down. Kingsnake.com's to help people, not toflame people.
That being said IGR, we're here to help, and give you some reconstructive critism.
Your little guys tank should probably be covered with a couple inches of a cocanut husk/dirt substrate such as bed-a- best. Bed- a best is great as it allows your little guy to do all his digging and hiding. Aswell it adds a more natural effect to the tank.
I would also, maybe get rid of that moss, as if swallowed by your little one, he could recieve a nasty impacted stomach.
And last of all, your little guy needs a small dish of dechlorinated water... Less than an inch high.
With some of my thoughts, and more habittat research your on the way to a long lived froggy :)

Your already half way there to a potentially gorgeous cage, with your awseome venus fly trap, and loggy thing you have in the tank.

Buddy, I agree with everything you said exept for one thing. The moss is a good idea. Argentine horned frogs enjoy hiding in moss. It would be a good idea not to cover the whole bottom of the cage with it, but a mound of it on the side will allow it to feel more secure. To avoid impaction, you could feed him with tongs or use a vibrating food dish or come up with your own way of preventing moss ingestion.
