Getting a Pacman frog (between tomorrow and summer)

[MeTree]

Wow! I went to my LFS to see when the frog might be coming (well, and also to get 2 more lemon tetra, a bronze corydoras, and a trapdoor snail). The manager said earlier (about the time I started this thread) that they would probably be available some time next summer. I was expected mid April at the earliest.

When I was at the LFS I ask about it. She said that she had tried to order me the pacman for the last 2 weeks, but they hadn't had green!

She said that they might have them in stock this week. THIS WEEK! Wow! I ask about the price it would cost and she said probably $32-$34. That is a relief. Yes, I realize it may be abit more expensive than, say, Petsmart, but this is my LFS and I don't mind paying a little bit more. I was actually glad that it was under $40.

Anyway, I still need a tank. I may just use a plastic box for the first few weeks. No problem with that, is there? I may just use paper towels instead of eco-earth for substrate if the pacman is quarter size or smaller.

I can't wait! I hope I have everything!

I will definately keep you all posted!!

I dont really see an issue with paper towels as a temporary thing, and if you make sure your hear source doesnt melt the plastic or anything i don't see how it can be an immediate issue

Glad to see someone doing some research before they commit to taking care of a pet, any kind of animal if that...

Sounds great! I'll have something ready for the little guy, even if we got the call now.
