    How to take care of pacmans ?

    So i just saw one for sale and i was thinking to buy it but they are high or low maintenance and how you take care of them?
    I have a 10 gallon i don't use and do they need calcium? or light? bc i have 1 calcium with d3 and vitamin that i don't use.
    My ambient temp 80-90 degrees if its get to 90 should i spray the tank so it turns more cold? and how the humidity should be?
    Thanks!!!

    Eat all the dots before they catch you, don't run into the ghosts - unless they're dark blue.

    Pacman are easy to care for http://www.frogforum.net/content/pac...-breeding-170/

    I keep mine on 2 inches of damp coconut fiber bedding as you can see on this picture



    My temps vary from 76 to 85 depending on the time of the day and or time of the year, if your temps are low you may have to provide a heat mat (not specific light necessary)

    You will need to dust your bugs/nightcrawlers with calcium (without 3D) especially when you have a young frog as it grows very quickly.

    I no longer provide calcium since I feed a rat crawler every other week.

    Jabba is almost 2 years now

    Actually she the name is confusing but I got her when she was the size of a quarter hence why I did not know the sex at the time, didn't feel like changing name since I am a Star Wars fan and the name was fitting.

    You want to vary the diet of your frog as for mealworms there are arguments about using them as a staple diet, some believe they are harder for your from to digest, I would only consider them on occasion.

    Pacman do not require the D3 but it won't hurt either simply dust the food prior to feeding, pacman love nightcrawlers, crickets, dubia roaches anything else should be considered as a treat.

    When young I was feeding my frog 5 times a weeks now it's twice a week.
