'False' isn't an accurate name and is another example of common names in the amphibian world meaning precisely jack. This animal should only be referred to as Dyscophus guinetti. And this has been altered as they aren't flat. Also they do get to a similar size as some species of horned frogs, but shouldn't be fed anything near equivalent size as a them. There is a reason they fall under the group known as narrow mouthed frogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-58597877132168727712009-06-14T16:43:45.957-07:002009-06-14T16:43:45.957-07:00Eww.Eww.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-78660774128095733232007-06-28T08:43:00.000-07:002007-06-28T08:43:00.000-07:00lux -- IMO their rather ponderous adult size is on...lux -- IMO their rather ponderous adult size is one of the things makes pac-mans, tomato frogs and other "mouths with legs" so endearing -- some of my favorite frogs are pixies, which get roughly the size of a half a basketball.<BR/><BR/>Still, I don't recommend selling them to eight-year-olds, either ...

Everything was fine until some minimum wage genius decided to put them in the same aquarium together. Not only are they highly agressive to other toads-- but they are relentlessly cannabalistic.<BR/><BR/>I don't think people understand how big these things or Pac-man frogs get, or pac-man frogs. They get so big they'll need to eat mice.

It looks like someone lopped off the top of the frog to reveal his meaty insides, which resemble an uncooked hamburger patty which is wrong wrong wrong.

They secrete a mucous for protection and it looks like this guy was doing a little phlegming when this photo was taken. Snotty frog...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
