Pacman Frog Availability in Colder Months

[LizardMama]

I miss Octavian and I miss owning a frog, when Octavian was around I was very happy, never a dull moment with him. Now I'm wondering about the seasonal changes and Pacman Frog availability. This time I'm going to do things differently, instead of just a heat lamp I'm going to invest in an under tank heater and I'm putting my frog in my bedroom (I like it more room temperature and my bedroom is just that and more). I've done further research and have decided that yes I want another frog. I've got all the stuff for one. Temperature Tape-stat, Humidity Gauge, Eco-Earth, water dish and the 2 trees that were in his cage and of course the food (besides owning Octavian I also own lizards. Been LizardMama for 7 years now).

*I am aware that lizards and frogs are different, no animal/pet is the same as the other (either in personality or habitat).

Would a Pacman Frog be available to purchase in the next 3 months or will I have to wait until next year to get another?

I know PetSmart usually carries them year round.

It shouldn't be a problem getting a pacman. I'm sure about that. The question is what kind. Most common are the cranwell frogs. Then the ornates can only be found online and the shows. If you find a ornate in a store you hit lotto.lol. Once you get everything right it shouldn't affect the frog. I would clean the setup real good.Infectious control is very important. Make sure the temp is 80. Make sure the water bowl is clean. Make sure he eats every day mostly dusted bugs and earth worms. make sure he is on cocofiber. Make sure the soil is moist but not wet. If you get a bunch of soil and put it in your hand it shouldn't drip water. Make sure you get him from a reputable seller. Make sure i get your weekly check.lol Just kidding. Its abound having fun and enjoying the Hobie. You should be fine. Its no joke when you loose a family member. I'm just trying to cheer you up.

I have everything cleaned, all the way to the little trees that were in the cage and the water dish. Temperature-wise I'm going to crank it up to the mid 80's to maybe 86, I'm not going to let the temps fall down past that again. I wish I would have purchased an Ornate while I had the chance, there's a store down here that had 5 Ornate's in 1 tank ($25 for 1 frog). Size-wise they were about 6 months (only problem I had was with their habitat, they were just in water with nothing to climb up to get out of it and no dirt, the last frog the guy sold had pebbles in it )

Ps. is that an Ornate in your profile picture or is that a Cranwelli, BG? He's right unique in color

Thats a cranwelli with less brown marks. I got him in a pet store by my house for 12 bucks. He wanted 15 and i said 12. And he was mine. He was the size of a quarter. H e had him in a glass vase with a plastic bunch of flowers and dirt.

Glad you got him, not only is he pretty but I'm sure he has a better home with you. A glass vase with plastic flowers and dirt is not suffient for a frog
