My cool new Amelanistic Pacman

[GrifTheGreat]

some guy off of craigslist here in spokane, pretty sweet find for sure! this pic posted here is the colorful reg Cranwelli

They are both so colorful. That's crazy because I've never seen an albino or regular cranwelli have such beautiful coloration. Grif is changing color and pattern everytime he sheds. His light green marblization is becoming brighter and spredding between his dark brown spots. His face looks kind of like its tribal painted too. He's a regular cranwelli. I saw a phot of a pacman frog named Sumo. Under the pic it said Sumo celebrates 30 years. And the next pic said Sumo the Pacman frog shows no sign of croaking Lol. That's more than twice the listed life span. Everything in the zoo where he lives must be perfect. I wish I could accurately recreate Grif's natural environment.

remember creating his wild environment may not exactly be best for longevity. When properly kept in captivity they are not exposed to uncontrolable temperature changes, food scarcity and of course parasites. Most wild life spans are no where near as long as a properly kept captive. But i see your point entirely. I often picture myself in marshy fields and rainforrests finding these amazing Ceratophrys species in the wild. How amazing would it be the find IN THE WILD the biggest and most uniquely colored Ornata on record!?? And take pictures and leave her right where she was.

I think a find like that should be left right where it is. That would be so exciting. I would like to study them. Knowing how they live in the wild could actually improve the way you care for your pets. Ofcourse keeping the ideal climate to where they eat regularly and stay active as well. I don't know how long it will take me to get Grif fully recovered but I'm going to keep it up until he eats on his own and thrives. Once he's fully recovered I may try to hibernate him since they live longer when you put them through aestivation. Doesn't sound difficult. The only thing is that ill worry about him and check on him to make sure he's ok while he sleeps. Ill have to read up on it more.
