    Default Caatinga questions

    How big do these guys get? And is there tank set up temps and everything the same as other pacs like ornate?

    I think they get 4~4.5 inches SVL and the terrarium conditions should be very similar if not the same.

    You should send an email to mikesfrog because he breeds and sells these guys. If you're looking to get one he might still have some for sell right now, if not, at the very least he'll be able to answer just about everything you need to know about pacman frogs.

    I sent him a message a little bit ago. I'm hoping he still has them. I love how these guys look.

    They get around 6 in max. I still have a few. The care is the same but these guys like it a little warmer.

    Post a pic of his setup. I may be able to advise you in increasing his tank temp. Ornates can handle a little cooler temp so where you have him may not be ideal, but will be ok, but I may be able to help so if you want help let me know.

    Is that a 5 gallon? You could buy a lamp that has a dimmer switch and a 50 watt basking spot lamp bulb and just direct the lamp towards his enclosure because I see you have a light hood over the top.

    Its a ten gallon. The light hood only allows me to use 15 watt bulbs which doesn't do much. So I'm switching to this one(picture below) once my red ear slider gets his new one next week. I'm planning on putting in a 40 watt bulb currently. Do you think that would work? If not I'll look into getting a dimmer switch.

    Without a dimmer the bulb will be on full blast and dry out the enclosure. You could actually place a second UTH on the side of the tank to help with temps without drying as much.
