people say as long as 20-25years I think but just like these frogs theres no real PROOF of there life span.
I was really nervous of that spider, he got bigger then in that video even, and they have HUGE fangs, and a MEAN bite. There venom is mild though...... haha

Wow that's a considerable amount of time, but yeah I know what you mean. When your spider was hanging off the back end of your hand when you were trying to put it back into its enclosure the fangs that were sticking out... I don't know how you do it man... Haha. Their venom probably just gives you like a minor pain or sickness with swelling?

im kinda sick in the head. I use to have 2 bermese pythons and a tiger reticulated python too. The biggest berm was 11ft and about 80-90pounds, the retic was only 8 ft and skinny, but I got rid of them when my son was on the way.
Same reason I drive fast cars....... I need the adrenaline...
This is my car:

Yea I think there bite/venom just makes you numb, and swelling. nothing too serious.

Nice, not bad. A few more amphibians wouldn't hurt the collection
. I'm interested in another pixie if not more with one pacman, preferrably a cornuta or aurita when they're more commonly available and not so expensive.

well I want another pyxie. Phat Phibs is getting some soon, so I think imma bite the bullet and get one from them. Hopefully there reputation is as good as it seems and I get a great frog.
I would like one of those pacman that have the VERY bright colors that look like they are under a blacklight

Oh ya, they're very reputable vendor. They get all their frogs from TheFrogRanch Kim Thomas been around for like 25 years, who is right now the only commercial pixie breeder in the US. They have a very good reputation, wouldn't go wrong with them. The only problem I have with buying online is I like to be able to see all the pixies for me to pick out one, not have someone else pick it out for me and then whatever comes is what comes. Like if I think one looks more male than the others or has just an overall better physical look to them. If Phat Phibs ever come to a show around where I live, I'm definitely picking one up.

, same thing I was going to do if i got a female. You never know, yours is still at an unsexed age, I would need to see more pics of him or her though to make a good guess. That's cool, they got a couple pixie videos on there. I wish they would upload some more, but they're pretty busy for the most part.
