Tell me about large frogs

[bshmerlie]

I like small frogs too that's why I went with the mini Pacman....the Stolzmanni. Its like having a kitten that never grows up.

(Cheri, shhhh... I know that pacman frogs come in different sizes, but I want them to tell me)....

Have you not been watching all the videos they post?

Size does matter lol

I love the African Bullfrogs and the Budgetts frog as they love their food

Watching a cricket or earthworm disappear into the green vortex of death is always fun. It's a slower process than watching darts eat (as far as I can tell from the videos).

I just got my dubia roaches, so I don't have many, but strangely I like them too. I wondered how the cockroach people wanted cockroaches as pets, but they're interesting to watch. Plus you don't have to chase them all over the living room when they hop out of your hand like crickets do.

I totally get how watching your frogs feed can be thrilling. From what I have seen, you beautiful and colorful monsters (said lovingly) are quite voracious when it comes to their prey. It's one of the reasons why I love watching the Phyllobates terribilis eat so much: they literally will go and pursue the feeders in the tank. Fruit flies stand no chance, and the crickets, they try to hide but seldom fast enough for the terribs.

I love Pyxis because their size is just thrilling, the overall look of Pyxis is just awesome because they have such cartoon like features. [...] However a great looking giant female Ornate Pac Man is hands down my fav frog ever. I love when when people see my cartoon drawings of them and say 'that would be so cool if they actually looked like this!" and i get to say THEY DO! They just dont look real!

So basically size and colors... Again, seems very similar to us dart lovers, but on the other end of the scale...

But what about the fact that they seem to be either burrowed or immobile most of the time?

They're not the most entertaining of frogs when they're not hungry, but I still find their habits interesting. I don't spend hours looking at Lump just sitting there, but I do peek in every so often to see if he's moved, or has poked his head up and wants to eat.

That is actually another attraction for me, Ill have a friend or family member check out my frog. If its a PYxi they just kinda stare in disbelief cuz I kept Booger in abt 2inch deep real growing grass so you could see him.They always ask "OMG.. is that thing REAL???" So i would give Booger a lil poke to the belly then spray him and he would come to life. And even I am still in awe by that because he does infact look like a garden decor. rather than real. As for Pac Mans... My 1st encounter with one I was 7, and my big brothers High School Zoology teacher Mr. Sweat had me come up to the high school to do some animal drawings for the class (yes I was 7 and yes the drawings were better than most 1st graders but im certain my drawings still sucked but i felt so cool) He had a 20 gal tank with just plants in there. So I looked alllll over for the frog Mr. Sweat told me was in there, expecting a lil tree frog. I saw his eyes in the dirt and said "OMG i found him!! but i just see his eyes! can i pick him up??" Mr Sweat promptly said sure if you want your little hand bit off" so naturaly I was puzzled. Which did not last long because he walked over there with a live white mouse dropped it in the tank and this gorgeous lime green, black and yellow blob exploded out of the dirt and clamped onto the mouse and swallowed it whole. Since then I have been clinicly OBSESSED! HA!! A well hidden dangerous BEAUTY!
