New Pacman!!!

Also, I forgot to ask. The breeder didn't introduce nightcrawlers/earth worms yet. When do I need to start offering, and how often beings it already gets crickets daily?

And I do have some moss that I was going to but in my snakes tank to help with shedding and so on... If I have to or if it would help with the staining, I can use it.

You could start offering at anytime. You can switch it up from crickets to nightcrawlers, etc. It's up to you how you want to feed your Pac.
You don't really need the moss in the KSBs enclosure until you see it about to shed. Then I would stick the moss in a "humidity box" that it could slither into if it wanted to help him shed. Other then that - the moss isn't needed. They like to be kept fairly dry. The humidity box could be a small food storage container with a hole cut into it for access.

The breeder didn't tell me anything about the humidity box or anything. And they don't know the last time this particular one had shed due to 3 snakes being in one tank on display in the shop. The only reason how I had found out was reading the internet. And then I had asked the breeder. They said with the hide box I was given, to put a small piece of moist paper towel, and that would work just fine.

And with the pacs substrate, I don't think my moms store sells EcoEarth. I will have to really look. The main reason why I don't buy any of my animals things from Petco or PetSmart, is due to them having the same thing at my moms work, but at my moms work, whatever I need is about half price than other pet stores. So I try not to shop anywhere else for my animals things due to over pricing, and what not. And sometimes, depending on what it is, I can get it ordered through the store. But my next trip to my moms work will probably be Friday. I will look then, and go from there. As of right now, I have it on Exo Terra Plantation Soil.

A slightly weird question... As stated before, pacman eats daily. I try to offer smallish sized crickets. I put 3 a day. The past 2 days or so, there has been 1 cricket left over. How often would he produce feces with this eating schedule? The pacpan is maybe a little bit bigger than a quarter.

When can I find out the sex of the frog? I'm waiting to name it untill the sex is confirmed. I don't want to name it Frank and become Frances. Or vice versa. lol....



(Heather, while I was writing this reply, your reply had come in, so I didn't see it until after I had posted this reply. Sorry if I repeated myself or anything lol)

Also another question.... I've seen posts about giving warm honey soaks, the warm pedialyte baths and so on... Beings that my pac is so small, would it be wise to do a honey soak or the pedialyte soak both about once a week or so? Or do that only if it gets sick or whatnot?

Those are only if your Pacman is sick. There's no other reason to do those soaks.

The breeder I got the pac from, said its food. WHEW! Big big sigh of relief. I use the bricks because I have a really large setup for my other frogs, and it takes about 2 bricks for that one tank.


The KSB is on aspen bedding. I've had snakes before so this isnt my first go round lol

[toxxxickitten]

What kind of substrate do you have your KSB on now?

The ExoTerra Plantation Soil is basically the EcoEarth already expanded in a bag, so that is fine to use. I have an Apricot Albino Pacman and have never noticed any staining on him and I use the EcoEarth. That's just slightly weird?

If your Pac isn't eating all 3 of the crickets then I would remove the one that is left over so no harm comes to your frog. If left in too long the cricket may decide to chew on your pacman.

You won't be able to determine the sex of your PacMan for quite some time if it is only just a little larger then a quarter.
