You're not going to find a blue pac-man frog anywhere, not unless someone spray painted it, no frog of that type has any blue in it, and there's no one who has bred out a blue pac-man, the only way you're gonna get a blue frog is if you get a dart frog, or a couple of much rarer frogs.

In this horned frog book I have they show a picture of a turqouise pac, it says it is a fantasy. However it looks like a juv and it could just lose its colors upon adulthood.

Hmm what book? Im not saying its not possible.. and a fantasy is a hybrid between 2 pacman types...

I believe it was "Horned Frogs" by Ray Hunziker. The picture shows what appeared to be a juv turqouise horned frog in a defensive posture. I could be remembering this wrong but that's what I recall.

What you saw was a light green Ceratophrys cornuta.. or Surinam horned frog.. these are real cool frogs.. some are so light green they almost appear to be turquoise but not.. depends on ligthing and direction.. these can be one soild color to with very minimal markings on there back.. People have also breeded these with some real intresting color patterns such as soild black and solid grey. with small to none green markings on them.

I can't find my book right now but I know the picture of the blue pacman that you are talking about and in the book it really does look blue. I would be interested to know where to find a pac-man like this as well if anyone knows.
