Pacman is mean!!!!

[John]

Well I can't promise you that if he's scared enough he won't bite you, but I've handled plenty of Pacman frogs, from froglets to adults, and I've found that deliberate movements, no messing about, straight in and pick it up (fron the sides or rear, not from the face) is the best way to go. I'm glad we've helped you - I really get a kick out of that.

I had a Pac-Man frog myself. I was trying to get a cricket to move in front of her but ether she missed or mistook my finger for food and the next thing I knew was she had stuck her tongue to my finger! It scared me so bad I jerked my finger out really quickly! Because her tongue was stuck to my finger you would think she flew out of her terrarium but after I recovered from the suprise I found her in her water bowl about 2-3 inchs from were she was!

Could a pacman frog do damage¿

[John]

Yes, but it's piercing wound rather than tearing (unless you try to pull your finger out - better to just let it readjust its bite and then yank your finger as it's trying to get a better grip). I have been bitten and while the wound is usually not large, it's deep and bleeds a lot.

I kinda miss my pacman. He was cool. Laurie, post a pic of your little biter

Here's a picture of the little twerp. Ain't he a cutie?
He's growing fast, so I'm glad this happened now instead of later. I'm not scared of him and will handle him much more careful now and maybe I won't have to experience a more serious bite.

Very nice.
