A fun and fascinating amphibian that’s perfect for first-time keepers. With its bold colours, quirky looks, and big appetite, the South American Horned Frog (often called the “Pacman Frog”) is a real conversation starter. Compact but full of personality, they reach 4–6 inches in size and live on average 6–10 years with proper care.
