My 22 year old pacman

Haha... I have a snake like that. Got him when I was 10, could probably write a book called "Things that will kill Snakes" with all the stupid things I did when I was a kid, and he's outlived his species' average lifespan by almost half.

You should totally breed him! I'd buy a frog from a line with a 22 year old animal a heck of a lot faster than I'd buy a 'designer' frog; not that I have anything against those, just a personal preference for WT frogs

talking about snakes, just remembered one story that a breeder of my new snakes told me, the guy got a snake from him, put a tank on his very powerful speaker that was on for almost all day, so in a few years the bottom of a tank got detached because of all vibration and slid down trapping a snake between the bottom and screen top. the snake survived

oh and put me on a list for his babies, we are in Vancouver quite often

I've heard that they can live 10 years... lol

Looks like I had better start reading up on breeding!

From what I understand, Pacmans need about 2 years to reach sexual maturity. Would it be best to buy some young frogs now, in the hopes of breeding in a couple years, or try to find someone locally with an already mature frog? Or both? (I think I just answered my own question)

Welcome to the forum! Love your Pacman! Surely for being around this long he must have a name!

I have actually never officially named him. I usually call him 'my 20 year old frog who eats mice'. At this point I am tempted to officially name him Codger :-D
