Introduction Photo from: http://simplypets.biz/SP_Page_PacManFrogs.html Common Name: South American Ornate Horned Frog, Pac Man Frog Latin name: Ceratophrys ornata Native to: Tropical Rain forests of South America Size: Males grow to about 7 inches, females 9 inches. Life span: Normally around 6 years. Have lived up to 12 years in captivity. Pac man frogs are large, fat frogs, that seem to consist of two parts, a stomach and a mouth and appear to be designed solely to eat. They are often very colorful, usually green with dark red to black markings along their back, females slightly larger than males. Usually round in shape, with a mouth disportionately larger than the body appearing to look like Pac Man characters, this is one of the few frogs that do have teeth. Housing  - Pacman frogs grow to be large, yet do not require a great amount of space. - They tend to spend most of their time sitting in one spot waiting for their next meal. - While some recommend lids as unnecessary, most would argue otherwise. - Lids will provide safety for your Pacman frog from predators, like domestic pets, and greatly lessen the chance of an escape by your frog. - These seemingly inactive amphibians give the impression that they can't or won't jump, yet adult Pacmans still can leap and juveniles even higher. - Younger frogs may require paper towel as bedding to avoid ingesting the tank bedding, the downside is that the paper towel will have to be changed daily. - Adult frogs will have no issues with moistened Coconut Fiber or Potting Soil WITHOUT chemical enchantments. - A recommended amount would be enough to allow your Pacman Frog to completely burrow itself if it feels the need to adapt to temperature change Environment - Must have a shallow bowl of water where it will spend most of its time. - Have enough loose material to simulate the loose leaves in the forest for hiding spots. - High humidity is required so mist daily. Diet  Image from: http://cheddardave.blogspot.com/2008/05/pacman-frog.html - Feed a variety of crickets, fish and mealworms - Juveniles should be fed every 2 - 3 days, adults should be fed once a week - It is important to not feed prey items that are too large. - Offered food should be no larger than half the size of the pac man frog. - Use a vitamin and calcium supplement once weekly with juvenile pac man frogs and every 3 - 4 weeks with adults. Crickets can be put in the aquarium and fish may be placed in the water dish or you can use small tongs or tweezers to hold the prey items in front of the horned frog. Note: Pac man frogs will tend to bite anything that moves. Never use you bare hands when feeding to avoid bites. Many frogs are killed when a hand is quickly drawn away from a bite and the horned frog is flung against a wall. Maintenance - Periodically clean out dead crickets and cricket parts. - Water should be freshened daily if evaporating and changed at least once a week. Handling - Pacman Frogs should be handled as minimally as possible. - If you must handle your Pacman, be sure to reach from behind as your fingers will be required for other daily chores. - Handle your Pacman firmly, yet safely, by gripping the underside with your thumb, and the Pacman’s back with your index finger. - You can use your other hand to support, while of course avoiding your Pacman’s mouth. - It is important that you wash your hands both before and after each handling. - Like other frogs, Pacman Frogs ingest water through their skin. - Any chemicals on your hands will soak through your Pacman and could cause harm. - To avoid any infections on your end, wash your hands thoroughly after each handling.

Chubby but when you move your hand into its tank it will leap towards your fingers and bite them.. That time your emotions will be like this -->>   And this reminds me of sakura because you have just mentioned chubby.  Whenever somebody teases her she will bite that person.

As I know, frogs don't have teeth so they can't bites.

But you react as a pacman frog whenever somebody teases you.  So pacman frog fits you the most because it is as chubby as you and bites people's fingers whenever they try to teases you.
