PAC-MAN THE MONEY MACHINE
For some gamers, the name pac-man is certainly not foreign to their ears. Yes, pac-man is the name of an animated character who is round yellow and can eat anything that is his size. It is told in the game that Pacman lives to eat the yellow circle that is available in the maze where he lives. The goal of this game is to finish all the food provided without being eaten by the ghost. However, the Pacman that we are going to talk about is different from the Pacman found in many older video games. The Pacman we are going to talk about is an amphibian animal.

The Pac-man frog is a frog that comes from South America. The size of the male can reach 18cm, and the female can reach 23cm. the pac-man frog has a fat body shape and is green. It has red or black spots on its back. Animals that have the Latin name creators ornate have an age of up to 6 years to 12 years.
Why is it called the pac-man frog? It was because of his uncontrollable eating activity. The pac-man frog can eat anything that is in front of him as long as it is the size or smaller than his body size. Since they were tadpoles, Pac-man frogs have a high appetite, and they are carnivores. They usually eat live tubifex worms. They are also ready to eat each other or you could say, they are cannibals. Tadpoles from the pac-man frog will grow into small frogs in about 1 month. The 1-month-old Pac-man frog can eat anything that moves like crickets, mealworms, small goldfish, and your fingers. It has been explained previously that the pac-man frog is a cannibal animal. Therefore, if you stop by the pac-man frog captivity and look inside the 1-month-old Pac-man frog enclosure, don't be surprised if you see many pac-man frogs' hind legs sticking out of the mouths of other Pac-man frogs.
In adult Pac-man frogs, their appetite has decreased somewhat. But still quite high. While the small space-man frog will continue to eat when he sees something that he feels is edible, the adult pac-man frog is calmer in eating his food. Adult pac-man frogs usually eat crickets, fish, and mouse clicks. But other animals such as birds or even snakes that are smaller than their body size can certainly eat
Why is it written in the title of the article that the pac-man frog can be a money machine? Because the price of the pac-man frog brood is relatively high and the ability to lay eggs is large. One egg can produce tens or even hundreds of eggs. Can you imagine the benefits that will be obtained?
To make pac-man frogs into our money machine or make pac-man farms, we need to pay attention to several things in the production process. Among others:
a. Light
Pac-man frogs require 9-12 hours of light. More than that causes them not to eat. The use of fluorescent lamps is recommended in maintenance because incandescent lamps can make their skin dry
b. pedestal
The cage can be lined with gravel, or clumps of sphagnum moss and live plants. Pac-man is a very sensitive animal, so before you buy accessories, make sure they are safe for reptiles and amphibians
c. Cage
The use of an aquarium is recommended at least 10 gallons in size and given a cover. Here are tips for making a cage:
1. The cage must be big
2. Use a hot pad and place it under the cage. This is useful for maintaining the ideal temperature for the pac-man. Pac-man's ideal temperature ranges from 22-27 degrees Celsius
3. Use a background on both sides of the cage and the back to add a “nature” feel
4. Use fiber from coco or husk. This is important as a Pac-man frog resting place. Don't use rocks or moss because they can hurt Pac-man
5. Provide a large enough hiding place
6. Put some fake plants
7. Put the thermometer and hydrometer to determine the temperature and humidity in the cage
8. Install a heating lamp to keep the temperature too low
d. Environment
Provide a water place that is wide enough for soaking so that the pac-man feels comfortable and it is necessary to spray water every day so that the humidity is maintained
e. Feeding
Crickets, fish, and mice are food that can be given. Little Pac-man can be fed once every 2-3 days. Adult pac-mans can be fed once every 10-14 days. Add vitamins and calcium once a week for a smaller pac-man and once every 3-4 weeks when an adult.
f. Breeding
If you want to mate a pair of Pac-man frogs all you have to do is place them in a dry place. This can be done by placing them in an aquarium that is covered with moss but remains dry. A bowl of water should be available at all times. The temperature in the cage should be reduced to approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep this process for 2 months.
After 2 months, you can place them in an aquarium filled with shallow water so that their feet can touch the bottom and provide a place to climb. During this time, you have to make artificial rain. This can be done by spraying several times a day. If you only have one male, you can record the sound of his call and play it back to provoke amorous behavior. Eggs are usually laid 3-4 days from the start of the "rain." After laying the eggs, the brood must be removed and we must add water. The eggs will hatch in 2-3 days.
It has been explained that the pac-man toad is a cannibal. To overcome this, there are 2 ways. That is, the first way is to separate the tadpoles from each other by placing them in different containers, or placing them in one large aquarium by giving aquatic plants (live or plastic) as a hiding place. I prefer the second method because it is more practical even though the risk of cannibalism is greater than the first method.
After 1 month, the tadpoles will turn into small frogs and they already need a place to crawl out of the water. and again you have to make a choice. Do you want to put them together in one large tank with a high risk of cannibalism or place them in different containers with the risk of needing a larger space and more power? After this time you just wait for them to mature and harvest the results.
