Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Pac-man frog, what am I doing wrong?!
Hello all! I purchased a PAC man frog from a vendor at repti-con ATL to replace my daughters leo we had to put to sleep the week before. He was kind of an impulse buy because I was actually thinking about a bearded or BTS but I'm familiar with them because my uncle had them when I was younger. I brought the little guy home and set him up in an old plastic fish tank w/ sphagnum moss that is pretty damp but not saturated with treated water.
My issue is this-the frog seems healthy, moves when I mist it, skin looks good but I almost have to force feed it to get it to eat. I raise Dubia roaches so I've got a multitude of sizes and I know they're ambush hunters but I tweezer feed in order to keep Squooshy from consuming a lot of substrate. I basically have to piss it off to get it to open it's mouth & then it seems like it's trying to use is front legs to try to brush it out of its face.
Any tips? What am I doing wrong? Thanks so in advance for any help!

Maybe it doesn't like dubias. Have you tried crickets? My pacman will not eat dubias, he also doesn't like to eat when someone is watching. He also uses his front legs to push the substrate from his mouth. When I first got my guy, I fed him in a different tub just to avoid the substrate issue and to be sure he was eating and he would gobble up all the food I put in there, except for the dubias.

That's what i was thinking-he seems like the legs bother him. I'll go grab some meal worms this weekend and try. Also,, thanks for the info about pushing the substrate away and someone else had recommended a feeding bowl. I wasn't sure since they're ambush predators how that'd work but from what I've read it works really well if you're worried about them eating substrate. Thanks so much!!
