 If two pacman frogs are the EXACT smae size can they be housed together?

I heard a whole thing that said that they can open their mouths and it is like opening up the whole front half of their bodies to fit something in the mouth. So if they are the EXACT same size or just off by like 1-2 cm can they live together or would one get eaten?

Suprisingly, pacmans will try to eat thing larger than themselfes. It’s just a bad idea. One or both could potentialy die, is it really worth the risk? I have a devider in my tank. Maybe you could try that. They only need a living space roughly 10 times their body size. Basically they don’t require that much room, mine rarelly move. They are about half-dollar size.

So they COULD live together but there is a possibilitie of one or both dying? Does anyone know the possibilities of that happening? Like one in one million,or one in ten, or one in five chance, etc.
It is just surprising to me that they could. does anyone have a pic of them living togethere or one eating another (same size, not an adult eating a baby). I’m just curious.

Physically anything COULD live together but it would not be to the benefit or health of either animal. Pacman frogs dont live with other pacmans in the wild and so they certainly cant live together in harmony in a tank. You cannot put a possibility on something bad happening, and im sorry but thats an extremely naive thing to think. Please dont try it. So being physically able to live in the same cage is nothing to be surprised about as neither would be happy. If you really cant cant another tank you could always get a tank large enough for 2 and put a divider so they cant get to each other.
