    Default Albino Pacman Frog

    How many of you own one? Any pics? Do they also get pretty big? I might get one! Do they have ornate Albinos? I'm going to order off Petsoultions and shipping is 19.99!

    I've orderd pets from them before and the service is great! Thoughts?

    There are no Albino Ornates in the pet trade. Any albino morph is a cranwelli.

    I have 3 Ornates. 2 males and 1 female. Contrary to popular belief they don't always become 6" to 8". Average is like 4.5" to 5.5" SVL for females and 3.75" to 4.5" for males.

    no, albino can be only cranwelli. I've never heard of pet solutions, but if you dealt with them before and are happy with the service, go ahead.
    i personally wouldn't buy from them, they have a pic of very sick waxy that they used to sell and now out of stock, husbandry description would explain why it looks so sick, go with their suggested husbandry and you will have dead waxy within a few months, very mad about that, humid environment is deadly for them, even if ventilation is good. so the question is if they have absolutely no clue about one species will they ship a healthy one of different species.
    i have also issues with husbandry description for pacmans too, although at least it is not that off in comparison to waxies, haven't read other species. what is also confusing - what is the difference between ornate for 20$ and ornate for 28
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    based on their description scientific name of what they sell for 20 $ is C. ornata same as more expensive ones. that is what confusing.... if you look- all the description, shipped size of frog - it's all the same for both of those.

    was playing spot the difference now, and found one lol the ones for 20$ they say aggressive and for 28 semi aggressive lmao

    love that sentence :"Since Argentine Horned Frogs have enormous appetites and a very wide mouth enabling them to swallow prey up to their own body size, they are often called Green Pac Man Frogs".

    anyhow i would really look to buy elsewhere - mike or ivory reptiles.

    Just to clearify. Ceratophrys ornata/ Ornate Horned Frog/Argentine Horned Frog/Bell's Horned Frog are all the same frog species.

    These are Ornates. Most noticible trait are false eyespots on the back of each eye which can be seen here.

    Ceratophrys cranwelli/Cranwelli/Cranwell's Horned Frog/Chacoan Horned Frog are all the same frog species and are easily identified and different from ornates. They are also the only Horned Frog species that have the Albino morph.

    They look like this.

    dabrute, seriuosly.... when you try to buy something read at least a description, under that "argentine frog" it says C. Cranwelli
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
