Pacman feeding trouble, is he okay

[DVirginiana]

I agree. Doesn't really look like red leg, but the underside pic is too dark to tell.

Do those back legs look weird to anyone else? Not necessarily bad weird, just different. Most pacs seem to get much darker toward the back legs, but this guy looks like he has almost no pigment back there compared to the rest of the body.

Honestly it looke like a special morph. Almost like half Albino half brown cranwelli.

Has alot of green though!!

haven;t seen anything like that, it is like mix of albino and green and brown, can it be some kind of mutant?
at any rate you for sure have one very special pacman that looks healthy to me.

Hmm...interesting what you guys are saying about my frog, i got it at a local petshop is it unique? I ordered 250 super red worms and they will be here next week. Also i feel no hardlumps on his belly. I got a general thermometer which goes in 5 degree intervals and it is 75-80 degrees is that warm enough?

Thank god he is healthy, i was worried something was wrong.

Also is feeding issues, do you think he is just "picky"?

He looks like a mutant; usually people have to work pretty hard to get those (I think anyway, not really up on the breeding aspect of pacs).

75-80 is warm enough (it can get up to 85 during the day and go down to 75 at night), but if your thermometer only goes in five degree intervals it's probably pretty far off. Even the petstore thermometers that have 1 degree intervals aren't really good, but that's the 'minimum' quality thermometer that might work. A digital or infrared thermometer is ideal, but you at least need one that has 1 degree intervals. The less specific the thermometer is, the more it is probably off (I had a recent experience with one that was misreading by almost 10 degrees). His temps are probably still off. This could be why he isn't eating.

What do you mean by super red worms? Is that superworms (similar to meal worms) or red wigglers (like what people use as fish bait)? Neither of these are really good. Superworms have high chitin content and shouldn't be fed because they can lead to impaction. Red wigglers aren't necessarily that bad, but they emit a smelly goo that is toxic to some reptiles. Not toxic to pacs, but it tastes horrible and most pacs won't take them well. If your guy is picky, these probably won't get him started eating.

Go by your local walmart and pick up a pack of DMF brand nightcrawlers if you want to try worms. Also, most frogs like Dubia roaches (Blaptica Dubia) which can be ordered online. The roaches seem to work well for picky eaters.

oh they are just big earthworms, their just named that for showmanship

you for sure got a very good deal on the frog, I'm sure some people would pay big $ to get something as special hope Mike will chime in, he is a pro on morphs

now for temps - you want to keep 80-82 during day and 76-78 at night, so if your temp is 80 - it is good, but 75 too low, i would agree your temps can be way off, you need a good thermometer, - I feel that is a reason for not eating. but some frogs are just picky make sure you have day/night temps and feed him after lights are off.
also where did you place your thermometer? it has to be on a level a frog lives, about 1" above the substrate preferable in the middle of back wall.
