    Mine has never tried to bite me... But he won't hesitate to bite my mom. I still don't know how he recognizes me, but it's funny.
    Trevor is still in a five gallon and is full grown. Gonna get a 10 gallon in a month or two, but it just illustrates that they really don't need a lot of space. :P

    American toads are nocturnal as well I've got a couple 'pet' wild ones that have learned to come up to me for leftover crickets and roaches. They go into holes under my porch during the day, so your little ones might have just been trying to get out of the light... Are the wild caught (not that it really matters, just curious)?

    They are much smarter than people give them credit for. they can even recognize voices. you would be surprised how smart they are if have time to watch them.

    I've always wondered how good their eyesight is. I know they can sense motion really well, but I'm not sure how sharp they can see detail, like if they could recognize faces (some types of colubrid snakes can recognize faces). Never really thought about the voice thing... Makes sense though.
    Regardless, I'm glad he recognizes me as the person he doesn't want to bite, since I've been told it's not pleasant. lol

    The only place they have bad vision is directly infringed of their nose. kind of like a blind spot.

    Pacman Frogs are nocturnal. they usually are not very active especially when they reach adulthood. occasionally they will come out and Chase their prey. Mostly they sit and wait for their prey to come to them. They're ambush predators so saving energy in order to use it for sudden bursts of speed to catch large prey. A lot of people will say they're boring, but they are not. they're a very fulfilling pet to own.
