    Default Largest pacman question

    So after losing my baby recently, I've been researching for another one and was curious. Are there any that get close to the size of pixy frogs? I love how huge they get but I love the color of pacmans more. If not what is the largest species and would it be suitable for a beginner? Again, if not, which species are beginner friendly? Thanks in advance guys!

    Female C. ornata's will get quite large; but not to the size of a large male ABF .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    female ornate can be larger then female pixie mine is sitting at 6.5" right now, male at 5.5"
    pacs are good species for the beginners, you just need to make sure conditions are right and you get healthy frog.

    Ceratophrys ornata can get quite large. Males can get 5" with perfect care and with age. Females have been know to reach 8", but it is rare.

    C. aurita can reach massive sizes under the correct conditions. Now it may be due to captive care or geographic range as well as food supply that may be the reason why theC. aurita in captivity have not reached the mythical 10" SVL. Largest I've heard is around 6" to 8".

    Both of these species get large, but C. cranwelli can become large too. It all depends on genetics, husbandry, and food source. Both C. aurita and C. ornata are very beautifully colored and have large appetites. C. aurita are very exspensive and rare where C. ornata are not.

    lol here you go get pixie and pacman, it is just a matter of time when you get more pixies and pacmans anyway.
