Red Coffee Pacman Frog for Sale

Coffee Pacman Frog - Deep Brown Ornate Horned Frog

Product Description The Coffee Pacman Frog is a sophisticated morph of the South American Horned Frog, prized for its rich, earthy tones and deep chocolate patterns. This morph mimics the natural leaf litter of the forest floor, making it an incredible camouflage expert in a bioactive setup. Like all Pacman frogs, the Coffee variety is a hardy "sit-and-wait" predator that is exceptionally rewarding for both beginner and veteran keepers.

These frogs are terrestrial and thrive in a habitat with deep, moist substrate like coco coir or sphagnum moss for burrowing. They prefer temperatures between 75 and 82 degrees. As opportunistic eaters, they enjoy a diet of vitamin-dusted crickets, nightcrawlers, and specialized Pacman frog food. Their sedentary lifestyle makes them perfect for keepers with limited space who still want a prehistoric-looking pet with a massive personality.

About the Red Coffee Pacman Frog

The red coffee pacman frog is a Ceratophrys morph known for its warm reddish-brown coloration, a richer and deeper tone than the standard ornate or albino lines. Like all pacman frogs, it's a stout, sedentary ambush predator with an enormous mouth and an appetite to match.

Pacman frogs get their common name from their shape: a nearly circular body that's roughly half mouth. They're sit-and-wait hunters that bury themselves in substrate with only their eyes exposed, waiting for prey to wander past. In captivity they're low-maintenance, long-lived, and genuinely striking display animals.

Housing and Feeding

Pacman frogs barely move, so floor space matters more than height. A 10-gallon works for a juvenile, a 20-gallon long is comfortable for an adult. Give them 3 to 4 inches of coconut fiber deep enough to burrow into completely, plus a shallow water dish they can sit in without swimming. Keep the warm side at 80 to 85 F on a thermostat. No UVB required.

Juveniles eat appropriately sized crickets and dubia roaches every day or two. Adults eat larger roaches, nightcrawlers, and the occasional pre-killed rodent every 5 to 7 days. Dust with calcium and D3. Overfeeding is the main killer with this species — they will eat until they harm themselves, so feed adults on a schedule, not on demand.

Never house two pacman frogs together at any age. They are cannibalistic and will attempt to eat each other.
