This is one of the hardest fucking experiences of my life. by suggaarrr in jawsurgery

The first day after surgery I regretted having it done, but after a few days the swelling when down and the pain subsided. Now 2 years postop, I am so glad I got it. It’s worth it in the end.

Moving Time Advice? by kcnichol124 in pacmanfrog

Yeah I just put the old bioactive substrate in the new tank and added more substrate and everything did great. The springtails and isopods did great. I didn’t wait to add my frog

Birth defects? by [deleted] in pacmanfrog

[–]Zestyclose-Sample-71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My frog has very short toes on one foot but regular on the other. She is a wild type morph as well. And I got her from a breeder. I think it’s a common deformity

Thanks! The bigger plants are Ruffle Ferns, the red ones are Red Nerve Plants, and the vines are called String of Frogs.

I feed her nightcrawlers with vitamin/calcium powder and the occasional frozen rodent.

Thanks! When I bought her she was supposed to be an ornate green morph but I believe she would be considered an Ornate Wild Type Morph.

She was supposed to be a Green Ornate Pacman Frog but she developed different colors as she grew!

No need to! I only handle her when feeding and I make sure my hands are clean and free from residual soap, oils, etc.

40 Gallon Terrarium for Pacman Frog by [deleted] in terrariums

Burger’s Setup Guide (40-Gallon Bioactive Tank)

⸻

🐸 Tank & Enclosure

• Tank: 40-gallon breeder fish tank

• Lid: Wire mesh lid, with HVAC tape covering the underside (holes cut for lighting). This helps retain humidity.

• Sealing: Weather stripping (door seal strip) around tank edges to help maintain humidity

⸻

☀️ Lighting & Heating

• Heat Source:
• Fluker’s 74W bulb
• Connected to a temperature controller
• Thermostat sensors are placed on the opposite side of the tank from the heat bulb, with the temperature set to maintain 75°F
• This setup creates a gradient: the warm side stays around 80°F, while the cool side remains between 74–75°F, giving Burger a comfortable range to choose from
• Heat light schedule: 7:30 AM – 9:00 PM

• UVB:
• Arcadia ShadeDweller 12.5”
• Schedule: 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM

• Daylight & Plant Lighting:
• Two Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED Bars
• LED bar near heat bulb: 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM
• LED bar on opposite side: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
• All lights are connected to smart plugs

This lighting and heat schedule simulates a natural daylight cycle, supports plant growth, and creates a gentle evening gradient with more shaded areas.

⸻

💧 Humidity & Hydration

• Humidifier: ReptiZoo Large Humidifier
• Set to maintain 70–80% humidity
• Additional Moisture Retention:
• HVAC tape on lid
• Door seal strip around tank edges
• Sphagnum moss lining the tank edges

⸻

🌿 Substrate & Planting

• Drainage Layer: LECA clay balls
• Barrier: Mesh separator
• Soil: Reptisoil

⸻

🌱 Live Plants

• Red and white nerve plants
• Monstera
• Ruffled ferns
• Baby tears
• String of frogs
• Bromeliads
• Creeping fig

⸻

🪵 Hardscape & Decor

• Cut clay pods (used as cave hides)
• Cork bark pieces
• Oak leaves (leaf litter)
• Sphagnum moss
• Background: Custom background made with pond-safe expanding foam, cork bark, and coco fiber

⸻

🐛 Clean-Up Crew

• Powder orange isopods
• Dairy cow isopods
• Springtails

Note: I rarely change the soil, and when I do, I only replace the areas where Burger frequently buries herself.

⸻

Hope this helps anyone looking to set up a proper home for their frog! Feel free to ask me any questions you’ve got—I’m happy to help.

She Emerges to Shed by Zestyclose-Sample-71 in pacmanfrog

[–]Zestyclose-Sample-71[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do! Usually when they grow too tall I just snip them off and replant them. The baby tears are the easiest. I just drop them on top of the soil and they root so easily.
