How is everyone? lol just here to post and learn more about frogs..I'm not sure if I want a pacman or pixie lol

[tjtreefrog]

I'm doing pretty good. Welcome to the forum!! We have a lot of pacman and pixie keepers here that can give some great advice. I personally don't keep either of these, but I've found the Ornate Horned or Pacman frog (Ceratophrys ornata) to be a very beautiful and interesting species.

From what I've seen they are a fairly large pacman species, but big by pacman standards is nothing compared to the behemoth proportions that pixies can get, not that I don't like pixies. What I find really neat about Ornates is the bright reds and greens they can have, definitely a nice display animal! But if you are looking for a truly huge species, I would look into Pyxicelphalus adspersus.

I'm a noob. lol what is that?

[tjtreefrog]

Lol, sorry, Pyxicephalus adspersus is the true Giant Pixie. You will also see Pyxicephalus edulis which is the Dwarf Pixie. P. edulis is still a large frog, but not nearly as large as P. adspersus.

awesome lol what do you have?

At the moment I have Waxy Monkey frogs (Phyllonedusa sauvagii), large tree frogs from South America. They are pretty hardy and they like hot, arid conditions.
