New Pacman Frog

[CGood87]

Wanted to introduce my new frog (no name yet) and give a positive experience with a vendor post. Just recently (2 weeks ago) purchased a Blue Samurai Pacman frog from LLL Reptile. Their customer service line was extremely helpful and the order process was quick. I ordered on a Monday evening and was able to have him shipped out the following day. He arrived in great condition and was eager to eat small crickets from tongs later that evening. He also eats cut up night crawlers from tongs as well. I've read quite a few posts where people have problems getting them to eat night crawlers or from tongs in general but I guess I got lucky because he now recognizes the tongs as a food source and actively leaps up from his hole anytime they get near him even without food at the end.

Pictures to come after I load them from my phone.

Taking the pictures with my phone through the glass seemed to cut back on the quality a little bit because I had to zoom in but they're not too bad.

Very cute and nice colors! Congrats and welcome to the forum!


The Frog chooses its owner. Treat your life-long friend with respect and care and it will never disappoint!

Hello and welcome to FF! I'm glad your first frog experience has been nice. Here is a good care guide for them: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding .

Thanks! This is my first time having a blue samurai and my first time ordering directly from a distributor but I actually had one of the albino morphs as a child. Over the past 10 years I've kept a wide variety of exotics mostly in fully planted tanks/vivariums including red eyed tree frogs, blue ambilobe panther chameleons, iguanas, skinks, bumblebee walking toads, various salamander species, discus and just about any other tropical freshwater fish, freshwater ornamental shrimp, and a few local frogs/toads indigenous to central FL I raised from tadpoles. Had to find homes for all of them when I moved for a new job so this little guy is currently my only one. Depending on how my schedule goes over the next few months I might add a second tank and try my hand at raising some dart/arrow frogs. Anyway the forum was a great way to brush up on pacman requirements especially since as a kid i somehow got away with quite a few feeding/environmental no no's without any issue.
