[bugmankeith]

Great pictures, and looks like you have great setups too!

 

[roach dude]

Nice frogs/toads! I got a few bombina bombina and a bombina orentalis. I would like to get some pac man toad though, they look like fun, are they hard to keep?;P

 

[Arachnophilist]

as long as you set them up properly and make sure they arent ingesting the substrate when they eat they are not very difficult no

whats the size of your pacman, i have a little 2-2.5" pacman. How long do you think itll take to grow fullsize. I feed him a couple of times every week. Thanks. BTW nice pics and frogs!

 

[Arachnophilist]

well I got mine in.. july I guess.. and it was about the size of a toonie ( haha for non Canadians I guess about 1.5" vent to snout) and now it is easily the size of a mandarin orange. I feed it vitamin coated crix and the occasionnal earthworm.. and every now and then I give it a pinky or two to fill it up and let it put on some weight.. then once that is digested I go back to crickets.. Im at about one pinky a month if that. and it has grown fast. I belive adult size can be achieved in 1.5 to 2 years time. but asd far as appetite and growing fast it has nothin on my Pyxie haha but f course the pacman is much more attarctive as an adult. what kind of pacman do you have?

I have an albino pac man frog, Im still trying to figure out wether or not Ceratophrys cranwelli is its scientific name? Maybe you could tell me.

I can't wait till it gets huge!

 

[Arachnophilist]

Ceratophrys cranwelli is a scientific name. and most albino pacmans I have seen ARE Cranwells not Ornate.. do you have a pic? Cranwell's has larger horn projections than an ornate.. if its horns look like the ones on mine then its probably a Cranwells. if it has a more abrupt end to its snout and hardly anything for horn projections it is likely a Ceratophrys ornata. again.. all the albinos I have seen are Ceratophrys cranwelli though.

 

[P. Novak]

I dont have a pic right now but I will try to get some. Ill post back in a few.

 

[Arachnophilist]

yeah if you show me I can defiantely tell you.

 

[P. Novak]

Sadly hes hiding right now and I dont want to disturb them so I will get them later.

 

[Arachnophilist]

Some Enclosure pics.

There ya go !!

 

[roach dude]

what is that all you need in their enclosuer!!!!!!!! wow thats easy!....i might get some.. how big do they grow and do they bite hard?????:?

 

[P. Novak]

Very nice, next time I do a cage change Im gonna set my pacman up like that, how deep is the water?

 

[Arachnophilist]

Novak
for the pacman dont make it any deeper than their elbow when they are at rest in the water.. the cant swim and will drown. for the pixie its not a problem to have it deeper.

Roach Dude
male pyxies can reach 2kg and 9" from vent to snout. a female horned frog can weigh in at a few pounds and will be approx 6" long by 7" wide. they are both very capable of a strong bite and they can draw blood with it.. the Pyxie especially because it has large fang like projections from the lower jaw. and both these aniamls require very little space and become very large.

 

[roach dude]

man, those frogs are aweomse....when i got my new leo settled in nicelyi think im going to invest in a pacman frog! And also what are the dimentions of your tank????? just to see because its hard to tell how big the pacman is compard to the tank and such,

thanks, roach dude!

 

[Arachnophilist]

the one for the pacman is only 14" by 8" Im guessing.. they really only need about 6 times the space they take up when they are resting.. they dont move much

 

[roach dude]

Ok thats perfect!!!!!
My leo at the moment is living in a tank the same size, but when he get big enough to move on to a bigger tank i will buy a little pac man and put him in their!

AWSOME!!! I just got my first non-100%-aquatic frogs last week. I almost got a pacman but opted for 2 cuban tree frogs instead... Now I am thinking I might have to expand my horizons...
