Adult pac man ?

[Elliriyanna]

I cant seem to find picturess of an adult pac man, I would like to see just how big they really get.

It depends on the species of pacman frogs. Cranwelli usually get 2.5-3" for males
and 3.5-4" for females. Some species can easily get up to 8" for large females!

I know the numbers, but thats not really a substitute to actually seeing them

If you watch this video at the end, you will see some fair sized pacman frogs

Thanks that wasnt as big as I was fearing.

Lol nope, that is not correct.
Commonly available pacman frogs are C. Cranwelli and C. Ornate.
Both are pretty close size wise, females can easily be at 5" and males 4-4,5". Ryan it is not normal for a make cranwelli to be less then 3,5-4". Majority of ornates are bigger then cranwelli, males can be 4-5", females 5-6".
The pic in my avatar is male cranwelli 4", he was sick and stunted at the time pic was taken. Will look for more pics, but there are tons of those here.

Large female cranwelli.



Large male cranwelli



Some sizes are slightly exagerated. Most ornata do not get any larger than cranwelli. The average for ornata size is 3.5" to 4" for males and 4.5" to 5" for females. There are several factors that determine whether the frog will surpass the average.

What factors would set the frog for passing the average Grif?

Genetics, food source and proper climate are key. Giving them a highly nutritious food source from the time they leave the water greatly increases their chances not to mention helps to grow a strong animal. Supplements should be given as well. Horned frogs need a lot more calcium than most other frogs due to their high growth rate.
