I would love to own a pacman frog sometime in the future, however I'd like to see how far away that is. It'll at least be another two years before I can have one. I should probably also mention this will be my first amphibian.
I currently live in a small, remote town. The nearest pet store is an hour away and the nearest reptile vet (in the US) is around 5 hours away. I'm assuming the nearest amphibian vet would be around there too but I'd have to look it up. Is it rare that a pacman frog would need to go to the vet? Obviously, if it's common that issues pop up that absolutely require a vet, both I and the frog would be screwed. I'm not the type of person to keep an animal if there isn't a vet around who will treat it so I'd like the risks to be as minimal as possible.
Far as other things I'd need, I plan on having a dubia roach colony for my Red Eared Slider (she's a rescue, which is the only reason I have her) so I'd have a steady supply of insects for pretty much any insectivore but I'm also not opposed to ordering insects online to give variety to their diets. I plan to keep a good stock of equipment and supplies (including medical) just in case, there's a store in town (aka Walmart xD) that sells cheap basics (I would really only use their stuff in an emergency), and I'd be willing to drive that hour to the other town if needed.
Eventually, I do plan on moving to a bigger city as I dream of keeping reptiles and other amphibians so, if you guys feel it's better, I'm willing to wait a while.
