Thats Funny! lol

That black and white shot of you on the court........dead-ringer for a Boston Celtic, circa 1965. You look a bit like Hondo himself in fact!

Tuesday, tell us about your amphibians. How you came to keep them, mistakes/learning curves, species kept, breedings, how you found Frog Forum etc....we heard enough about you on Monday, let us hear about them frogs!

Here we go!

In 2008, I bought a small group of pacman frogs for my younger brother. He was always getting introuble and I figured he needed something to keep him busy. That ended up not taking care of the "Keeping him busy" problem so, took got the frogs back. Between 2008-2010 I bought a few frogs and slowly added to the group. I stumbled upon the Samurai blue pacman frogs in winter of 2010. I called up Yusuke and took out a loan to buy my 1st blue female. After she arrived I bought 7 adults from Exotic Pets in Las Vegas. In the spring of 2011 I produced my first batch of pacman frogs. At the time there was hardly any info about breeding pacman frogs. I took a kiddy pool from walmart and rigged up a rain chamber. Out of all my rain chambers i think the frogs liked that one the most.

I have kept many species of Amphibians and would have to say that pacman frogs and spanish ribbed newts are my favorite. The newts are very unique. They will take food right from your hand. My daughters love them.

Mistakes
Sold frogs that I should have kept! lol
Mixed imported animals with cbb
and many more

Breedings for the future!

C. Joaz
C. Cornuta
C. CranwellI

I really would like to breed mutants with Cornuta. It would be neat to see a Fantasy pacman frog that changes color as it grows.

Wednesday, show and tell. Wow us with your pictures/videos/sound clips.


I am sorry for not making it on yesterday - my husband's grandfather passed Monday night so we have been busy with family.
I look forward to coming back and catching up on you Mike!

[JeffreH]

Send our condolences from the FrogForum family to your husband and family members Jenna... I think I can speak for everyone in saying that you have done a great job maintaining the MOTW forum and a meager one day delay given the circumstances is completely understandable.

Looking forward to hearing more about you as well Mike! = )

Lots of random pictures of animals i have and had.

I'm partial to that gorgeous retic but I have to admit I never realized there were so many different morphotypes of Pacman frog (assuming they are all the same species, I am not very well versed in my frog identification).

I've really only seen a few examples in person with minor varying degrees of color from what I'd assume are wildtypes and albinos; I had no idea so much morph potential was in these frogs. Dark ones, bright ones, different patterns... I think the one that is most interesting to me is the about halfway down to the far right... he kind of looks like a piebald? Awesome.

Nice collection you've had there Mike! Enjoyed your photos = )

!I believe that is a C. Cranwelli Lime Green Albino Mutant Jeff. To put it in a rough way, there are a ridiculous amount of varying color Morphs out there. Especially of C. Cranwelli. Mike has many as you can see

[mikesfrogs]

If its the one in the pic here that is of a form of mutant. They change color. Pic is of baby and sub adult.

[mikesfrogs]

There will be as many pacman frog morphs as their is ball python morphs
