I just had issues with pacmans cause i had one and it died in a week... And i did everything the careguide said. The longest lived pacman ive had lived for a year. It died on my fault... I was taking it outside on a normal day and i was right next to it and it wasnt even that hot for it. IT was in the shade.... I was cleaning her tank and i turn around and shes on her back dead. ;-; she was my favorite... I love the one in the youtube video "the mountain! 9 month old female ornate pacman frog" i love how round she is. But the problem for these is you need a permit and i dont know any reputable petstores... The petstore around me everythinh i got from there dies... Thats why i wanted a toad because they seem more resilient and more manegable.
I see. If you want pacmans, you could place an add here, as there are many CB ones. For toads, you could place a flashlight or leave a light on in summer, as that attracts toads to eat any insects that follow the light

thing is i dont wanna get a permit for one cause its such a hassle. D; i hate paperwork. If i do get a pacman do you think its possible to get an adult female that isnt old? (3years max)

Re: Figuring out what toad is right for me?
Yeah, for an add, just specify what you want, and eventually someone will find something that matches your description

Nice. I just want a fat female. Lol preferably greeen colored. And in nj finding toads are hard. I still have to think what i want more. I think i may go with toads because pacman frogs apparently only live 15 years well not only that but i have this feeling if i do seek out an adult female someone might just give me one thats 5 years old or something...

I saw a normal phase sub-adult male for 35$-40$ dollars once, but I don't really know about that, you could PM some other members and ask how much they are worth when they're 2-3 years old

cant copy paste but if you look up on youtube "the mountain female pacman" how long will it take for a female to grow that big? p.s. is it true that ornates get bigger?

Re: Figuring out what toad is right for me?
It's generally true that they grow bigger than C.cranwelli, I still don't know how much they'd be worth though, I'd PM members such as Monster or Lija, because they own pacmans as well

Re: Figuring out what toad is right for me?
Hello, to answer your question yes the ornate gets a bit bigger then the Cranwelli. From what ive seen from pictures they don't get a lot bigger though, that one in the video looks bigger then it actually is because his skin looks very tight which makes me believe hes puffing out to make him self look bigger or he could be toxed out or something. The other thing in the video I find weird is that Ornate didn't look like he had a care in the world that his hand was there touching his feet and mouth. My 6 month old ornate would not be having that at all, I would have been bit in a matter of seconds. From what I believe the biggest one is the true Brazilian horned frog ( Aurita ) but these guys are hard to come buy And the smallest from what I understand is C. Stolzmanni ( Pacific horned frog ). But again these are very rare and when I mean rare I mean like I have only seen them once for sale and that was a fauna classifieds from a hobbyist that lucked out with a breeding experiment.

Oh so that's what I saw on Kingsnake.com earlier today: http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.p...124&de=1137039 If I had enough money and a way to either bring them here or go back, I'd get some

Re: Figuring out what toad is right for me?
Yeppers that's what that is, see the price for the sub adult? just imagine what a full adult would cost. And ya those are the guys that supposedly get to the size of a small plate. And there horns are nice and big when fully grown.

Re: Figuring out what toad is right for me?
I have never bought an adult but I would say a Cranwelli Or Ornate adult would probably be around a $100, but im not a hundred percent sure. I know the guy here sells babies for around 40 to 50 bucks, the ornates are usually about 10 bucks more then the cranwellies. They are the 2 most common ones available so I cant see the price being to high. Another thing that will play a factor in cost is what morph it is. I know that an Highred Ornate or dragon wing will be more then a normal. I have seen LLL reptile in the past have adult Cranwellis and Ornates, maybe try giving them a ring and they will be able to tell you the price difference between morphs also I would imagine. The Highred Ornate is a very nice looking Pacman.

Re: Figuring out what toad is right for me?
Apparently, they're not even breeders... I just called them and they sounded like they're resellers... "We don't order animals, we rely on what is brought to us by customers" ill never order from someone like that... That and they dont even have any adults for sale. It sounds like a pain. I think in the end if i cant find an adult female ill end up ordering toads... Or catching them in another state. XD
