Pacs vs. White's

[Rukufox]

Alright, I initially first fell in love with the pacs but when I was reading around on the internet there are a bunch of sites that say they arent the best for beginner frog owners. I'm deffinantly going to start with White's, but I will get at least one pac some day. I just didn't know if they are more picky about their enviroment or something. It'll be some time, but I can't wait until I can get one.

I actually just picked up a Pacman today at the hudson valley reptile expo. You can check him out I'm gonna post a thread on him. I also owned two whites tree frogs that we're both males. I loved them...I miss them dearly but had to part with them when I moved...I wouldn't say the whites are harder. I found them to be relatively easy, and are pretty hardy. They can be quite noisy sometimes though lol. I personally liked listening to them converse, but at 3 in the morning I didn't haha! Good luck with either one you decide on, and make sure you do lots of research before buying!! Have fun!

No you didn't just kidding.

Also! I wanted to mention this, and forgot. I used to keep min in a 20 gallon, and used a UVB bulb. Some say that these are pointless with white's, and I agree they aren't necessary. But I found when I provided them with it they seemed more active, and displayed a more "alert" behavior. I personally would recommend it, and they do also seem to like the company of another whites. My two boys we're inseparable lol

I have four and they are great . Mine only call when they hear a noise like the TV. Thank god they don't go off at 3am.

Well the set-up I was going to go with is going to house two. And I know that's something else about the pacs, you gotta keep'm seperated (haha I started singing the song in my head, The Offspring anyone?)

Congrats on your decision and when you do get a Pacman there will be several people who can help you prepare and answer any questions. There are White's owners on the forum who can also assist in your care for your white's and most definetly will have very helpful advice.

Research is key, and I know that this place is a great resource of info. Nothing beats experience right?
