Guacamole- Pacman frog growth thread

On December 8th I purchased a pacman frog- henceforth know as Guacamole.

I think one of the amazing things on these guys is watching them grow.  I want to keep a thread where its growth can be easily viewed.

Tropical fish tank

Love my fish tank.  I like adding plants and wood that allow for height  It has guppies, tetras, shrimp, and a bristle nose pleco.  It is like having a living television.  It is very soothing.



The guppies have been picking these guys off.  I wish they could all get along.

Before and after adding some height.  The nets in the corners are for the baby guppies.

Love all of the colors of guppies and tetras.

Halmahera geckos

Halmahera geckos are hard to come by.  Most on the market are wild caught and get sick and die rather quickly.  They don't acclimate well.  I have captive bred (CB), wild caught (WC) On the verge of- and long term wild caught in captivity- long term captive (LTC).

I purchased my first Halmahera gecko from an expo.  WC and dead in days.  I learned a hard lesson super fast.


My next was purchased as LTC.  He is huge.  He is glorious.  He made me fall in love with the species.

I went on to purchase to CB babies that are coming along great and look to be a male and female.

I do keep my eye out for Halmahera geckos on the market and found a pair that were LTC.  The previous owners said that they had had them for a year. They were crazy wild when I first got them back in April, 2018.  Over the past 4 months they have settled down a bit.

The key with these geckos is- Never grab at them.

LTC male- love his color changes

This little boy is a blessing and a curse.  He really is wonderful overall.  He does like to find his cozy spots.

I get up hours before everyone else on the weekend.  His solution- sleep in my spot.

Oh, his precocious.
