    Default Proceratophyrs?

    Ever hear of these guys? Are they a frog or a toad? (If its a toad I would do anything to get one) are they sold as pets?

    They are a type of frog and I have never seen them before. Any specific species you are looking at? They are native to Brazil and they don't export them out of the country They do look amazing though!

    Huh. Is there a such thing as a pacman toad? I was looking at amphibia web, and there was this one hugh classification of toads that had a lower classification of ceratophrys in it.

    Members of the genus Ceratophrys aka Pacman frogs in the pet trade are frogs not toads. Their bumpy armored skin gives them the appearence of a toad, but their are features of frogs and toads the separate them.

    As for the Proceratophrys, they are a few subspecies of Ceratophrys. As far as I know they are not available. There is a small relative of the Ceratophrys genus called Chacophrys pierottii that is available occatioanally.
