Article: Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding

[mccartlo]

I just bought my first pacman frog today. I was helped with someone who worked at the pet store and bought a day and night heating lamp. I also bought a thermometer to track the temp but I am worried that the heat lamp will get too hot during the day when I am at work but I also worry that if I leave it off that it will get too cool. I now feel that I was misinformed at the pet store and should have bought a heat mat. Any help would be much appreciated since I am new at this and want to make sure my pacman frog is happy and healthy. Thank you.

For the most part, I've found that pacman frogs are easy to care for if you follow the right advice. Check out the book "pacman frogs" on Amazon for advice. It's a pacman frog pet care guide that's a free ebook download. The book says to affix a reptile heating pad to the underside of the tank and leave it on 24 hours a day.
