They capture and sell wild ones? Isn't that illegal where you live? In Sweden all frogs and amphibians are protected by law, In my ignorance I thought all civilised country's had the same policy. Poor frogs. Shouldn't Hyde's Pacman be very used to eat other frogs then? That would have made me worried.

If the frogs are legally imported into the US, then there is no issue. I'm pretty sure the same is the case in Sweden - it is your native amphibians that are protected.

I couldn't picture this animal in particular having the scarring that she does if she was just 'recently' captured. I also would assume there'd be a lot more aggression and a want to escape, versus her calm but easily flustered demeanor.

I've never heard of any place raising large numbers of pacman frogs to near adult or adult size and selling them. This is usually a tell-tale sign of wild collection.

Oh! Our petstore allowed bring-ins. If I were to, let's say(not like it will happen), not be able to care for any of current pets. Including the rats, amphibians, fish, etc. They take the animals and give you a store credit for them. They said the frog had been with them for about a week prior to me going and picking her up.

It's not safe, but anyone can practically bring in a frog and say they don't want it. At the same time, this store sells juvenile pacmans frequently. Both of the fantasy and horned variety, so it easily could have been the case that they just didn't sell one of their animals.

Which, it wasn't. This was a 'bring in'.

Don't you have breeders in US? That's the only legal way you can get a Pacman from in Sweden, a breeder or a pet store that bought from a breeder. To me this sounds as weird as if my neigbour would have bought a mountain wolf from a hunter instead of a regular dog that's been used from generation to generation and only knows about humans and not the "wild life".

Wild caught frogs and captive bred one pretty much behave the same way. All because they are captive bred doesn't make them a domestic animal.

this thread has been dormant for a little while, but looking at the pics your frog on the left is definitely cranwelli, and your most recent frog has alot of cornuta markings and characteristics which leads me to believe that shes most likely a fantasy frog, i could be wrong as i am no expert, but i keep cranwelli, cranwelli x cornuta, and briefly kept cornuta(traded for hardier fantasy frog) just figured i'd bring this to your attention unless i missed something in the prior posts
