New Pick Up!! Hudson Valley Reptile Expo!!

[dsmalex97]

I decided to pick up an Ornate Pacman Frog! At least this is what the guy was selling him as, and for 30 bucks I couldn't argue. It definitely appeared to have more coloring then most of normal pacmans that I've seen. So I believed him. I got him in my ball python hatching rack with a hot spot of 90 degree's, coco fiber, water dish, and small plant. I also fed him a horned worm that I picked up from the expo as well. Very excited about this little guy!! No idea what sex it is, and was actually wondering at what age it is obvious. Also, what do you guys suggest as a staple diet during these stages? Keep in mind I hate crickets, so anything other then crickets lol!! Here are some pics!









OH!! I was wondering how many tomato worms I should offer him at once when feeding him these? I'm aware these aren't a great staple. I bought them for my pyxie that isn't eating to try and stimulate it's appetite a bit.

Thanks BG!!

My g/f is so pissed at me....Little does she know, I'm just getting started haha!

There's no way of knowing what sex it is right? And is it definitely an ornate?

[BG]

Oh yeaa ,and theres no stopping any day soon.lol Check the bottom of his feet if they are dark or have dark marks then its a male. The markings are awesome.. I like the small spots on them,and yours is going to be all little marks with greenish yellow. Again excellent pick my friend.

I'll have to take a look soon, I'm pretty sure the feet we're light. And I was told the females have less spots on the throat, which this one seems to be displaying. Can you typically tell at this age or no?

He kept that worm in his mouth for over an hour before he swallowed it lo!! I felt bad for the poor worm lol
