    Default Which Species of Pacman grow the largest?

    I was wondering which species of pacmans get the largest? There are quite a few different species and was thinking about getting another pacman, but from a breeder this time... I've seemed to like big frogs for some reason ever since the day that I saw my friends white tree frog that was about 6 inches. Thanks

    The largest species of Pacman is Ceratophrys Aurita, but you cannot get them here in the US without paying a substantial amount of money. Some of this species are know to reach 10" SVL. I've never seen one in person nor have I seen photos of a 10" one.

    Next up is probably C. Ornata which have some females reaching a whopping 8" SVL, but more of 5" to 6" on average.

    C. Cornuta can reach about 6" in frmales, but usually are around 5" to 5.5".

    C. Cranwelli can have females reaching over 4.5" to over 5".

    C. Joazeirensis usually reach 4.25" to 5", but I've hear some can reach 6".

    The other 3 species,
    C. Calcarata
    C. Stolzmani
    C. Testudo

    I don't know much about them other than Stolzmani being the smallest of all the Horned Frog species and also known as the Pacific Horned Frog.

    Ornata are not that hard to find. Mike of Mike's Phat Frogs sells them and sometimes you'll get luck at pet shops.

    From what I've been told Auritas are available in Japan and cost $300 for a baby. THEN you must pay the $700 to have it shipped to your home. I really want and Aurita, but do not want to pay that ridiculous shipping cost.

    well, i thought that it was in the 200 range, but i was wrong. The shipping is just way too much. Argghh someone on this website must get an aurita and breed it!!!

    Such a serious or annoyed face Colleen/Jerrod, lovely ! How long you had it? That Kingsnake seller with Auritas is also offering young C. Stolzmani's.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
