They will commonly cover themselves with substrate or just sit contently in the water. Pacmans should be misted daily to ensure proper humidity.

A Pacman frog is any member of the family Neobatrachia with a characteristically large mouth and abdomen, thus resembling the video game character Pac-Man.
