Why pacmans?

[Sticky]

Why do people like thier pacman frogs so much? I have firebellies, Im considering getting another kind of frog. I like my firebellies very much, they are funny, silly and entertaining to no end. I would like another specie to add to my collection with a different personality.

I enjoyed my pacman in a spectating way, awesome to watch them feed and crazy looking frogs. Was not into holding very much though

Amazon milk frogs (Trachycephalus resinifictrix) are pretty cool but i like pacmans myself as hardy and some of the colourations/morphs out there are really cool

You should totally get a Pacman frog. I have a 'Fantasy' cross named Peggy and I love her to death. May I also suggest an African bullfrog or a Budgett's frog? They're even more awesome than Pacman frogs. ABF males get friggin' BIG and Budgett's frogs are totally aquatic except during estivation.

Here's links to articles on all three frogs. I wrote the Budgett's frog article myself.

Thank you for the links, all were helpful! I joined frog forum and have decided to get a pacman. I bought one from LLLreptile, an apricot. I think I got the last one!

I have been having fun getting his little home ready. When I got four Firebellies, I went to a local beach, saltwater. I soaked the stones in plain tapwater for acouple of days, then soaked them in treated tap with dechlorinater added, then baked them in the oven.

I found some stones I did not use and have put them in the new frogs container making a little hidey-house. I pushed dirt up on one side so he will feel more secure.

I hope it will get here ok, shipping is the hard part about waiting. I worry so much!

Thanks so all who responded to my thread. Sticky.
