my pacman frog drawing progress

[tikonides]

Awe, thanks! I love their colors too. They have such cute little faces with those boggly eyes, lol! I just couldn't resist. Then I figured she'd like a buddy. I'd like to get an albino too. I'm just starting my first vivarium though and need to get it settled first.

oh I see, hows the vivarium coming along ?

my Local pet shop has an albino for $35 but kinda pricey for an albino ill probably drive a few more miles away and pick up a green or albino one from a different pet shop for like $20

I think it's good so far. I'm just learning the tricks of how to do it. I've read a few good articles here and watched a few video links. I'm working on the waterfall. Just have the styrofoam started, so far. I found some nice tropical plants and some ivy for the back wall. I think I'm going to try the foam back with great stuff and silicone. And I'm leaning towards the false eggcrate bottom. Don has some excellent posts and instructions on how to do it.

Are the pacman albinos the orange and yellow ones? I've seen a wide range of colors in the different ones in pictures posted here. Yeah, might as well save a buck, ha ha .

[Heatheranne]

Oh, my viv is for my red eyes. I'll need to get some branches too. I'm trying to create a rainforest for them.

This is the picture I'm using as a guide. I really like it. Here is the start of the waterfall and then a picture of me playing around with the plants.

Sounds like you're well informed and on your way to a beautiful viv ! looking forward to seeing it !

yea the albinos are all yellow with red eyes and the brown spots, I like the lime green ones also but I'm not sure if they're cranwelli, I like the cranwelli more than the ornates because their horns are bigger, ornates get bigger and look more obese lol yea my local pet store has crazy prices lol

whoa that looks pretty good ! Good job

[Heatheranne]

Thanks! If all goes well the waterfall will work and have no leaks and the viv will look something like this. I'll post along the way. It's fun to share the pictures.

Cool! They are really neat frogs. Good eaters I hear, lol! Better watch the fingers, ha ha! I like the lime green ones too. Really, they all seem to have great colors. I did notice the horns. Neat. I can't wait to see what you choose .

[Heatheranne]

Whoops, got distracted and was answering back and didn't load the sketch. Ha ha! Here it is.

Nice, good luck on the viv !

I'll make a thread when I purchase my chubsters lol and I'll make sure to take lots of pics

My friend a few blocks down had an ornate but died recently it was pretty old

Nice sketch, that looks like a paradise lol

[Heatheranne]

Thanks!
Lol!!!
Oh, that's sad. How long do they live?

(Sorry, I can't copy and paste for answers from my phone, so I just hit the "return" key to somewhat distinguish the answers.)

[tikonides]

they usually say like 4-6 years but I've seen some live up to 10

[Heatheranne]

Lol! A paradise for them and for me to look at. I hope they'll like it.

[Heatheranne]

That's a pretty good length of time.

[tikonides]

its gonna be like a mini rainforest lol

yea, pretty lengthy, any animal will live long if they're given optimum care

[Heatheranne]

That's true. That's what's so nice about being here. The care books just don't have enough information and I'm finding more and more that the pet store tech's aren't very educated either.

It's also nice finding people with the same interests. Makes it more fun to share.

[tikonides]

I completely agree, I've learned more here than just reading books

I actually feel like I've owned a pacman for a while even though I don't have one lol

[Heatheranne]

Ha ha! You'll be well prepared.

[tikonides]

Yup and I hope to breed them in the future

[Heatheranne]

I went to barnes and noble to buy a few books last week and they had 2. That's it. One was Frogs of North America and the other was more of a field guide. I can order some but they only have descriptions of the books. I might check Amazon.com.

[tikonides]

Amazon really has any product you can think of and their prices are unbeatable, I think they have a few books on pacmans
