Adult pics and eggs laid last night.

Only 10 phantoms are known to exist. I bought a adult female and will be getting her in a few weeks. You really don't want to know what they cost.lol

PacmanFood of Samurai-Japan Reptiles - YouTube I believe that's a Phantom at 25 and 40 seconds.. not positive, I asked mike about a gray pacman once and he said it was a phantom. That's an awesome frog. I would love to get my hands on one of those.

[GrifTheGreat]

They are so awesome! I remember seeing a picture of one when I first got interested in Horned Frogs. Then I saw the price!! *_* Maybe someday, but definitely not right now. I can't wait to see yours Mike!! If you don't post pictures you'll have a riot on your hands!

A phantom is at the very top of my "I MUST have this" list!

[mikesfrogs]

The phantoms are neat. They have a odd look to them. I think the mutants that have a rainbow of colors and the sheen of a rainbow boa are the best.

In the not too distant future, we will be breeding our own mutants & morphs mike......your line and our line........now that will be AWESOME!!

I will be the first to get phantom baby's, how much did it cost :-) :-P

$1000.00 for a phantom is what that one cost me.

[mikesfrogs]

That will be pretty sweet! I'm picking up the two newest mutants later on today.

I still think there is a lot to be done with the pacman frogs.

So where does one find these mutants and or phantoms? I'd be interested

[mikesfrogs]

I don't know of any others for sale. I just bought the last 3. I will be breeding soon and might produce some in a few months.

[Theeblueking]

Are you importing or another breeder in the states?

That is pretty steep for a frog.

They're a really rare mutant. Not very many exist and thus the price is high. Its no different than any other rare animals for sale.

[mikesfrogs]

Bob clarks pied retics sell for $25,000.00. I've seen $60,000.00 ball pythons. $1000.00 rare pacman frog morph is not bad. Could be a lot more considering there are only 10 of them.

Seriously?? It is a rare mutation. Surely you know this happens in many reptiles & amphibians??? Supply & demand is in full swing in the pet trade. There are only 10 because that is all that have been produced thus far.

[mikesfrogs]

Ivory has covered it. Look in the threads late tonight and I will have pics of the new mutants

well well when frogs reprouece there are many many tadpoles. I mean if someone is mass reproducing frogs, there are so many possibilities it is hard to believe that only 10 have been produced.

You have to realize that frog genetics are not as predictable as ball pythons. If you put two mutants together you may or may not get mutant babies just for example.

humans barely understand our own genetics, how are we to understand a different animals genetics even nearly as well as ours. The combinations are endless, it is just surprising to me how with much more offspring, it can still be a challenge to get a certain mutant. Though it is understandable due to the lack or knowledge to the DNA code.
