My new Ornates

[John]

Thanks Jo-Anna. I'm not a big can of horned frogs in general (too boring - they just sit there all the time) but I've always wanted to keep Ornates, just never seen them in person to buy before now.

Actually, looking at their markings I think my two are related. Given their distance in time (the larger is probably a month or more older than the smaller), they're most likely cousins or half-siblings. There aren't many commercial breeders of Ornates in the US. In fact to the best of my knowledge there are only two - one in California (The Frog Ranch :: Welcome!) and one in Florida.

Hi John, Great looking frogs, Their colours are beautiful. Congrats, They always looked like they should have bigger bodies to me, but I still think they are kinda cute. I look forward to watching them grow. Thanks for your awesome pictures.

I couldn't of put it better than Jace.
You don't see very many solid greens these days. The red one looks like a fiery orange color. I've never seen a red like that, though it could be your great pictures.

Thanks Kevin. Yes the little one is really that red. The big one only has a hint of red on the back of the eye lids.

What an attractive pair of frogs! Quite stunning!

Nice frogs!

Do you know if you have girls, boys, one of each?? My African Bullfrogs just kind of sit there as well, but their colouring is nowhere near as spectacular. With colours like that, I would be pretty tempted to add one to my collection as well-not that I need anything else!! And I agree with Ebony-they look like they should be off balance and tip over with such big heads and smaller bodies. Definately gives them character, that's for sure. Congrats again and I'm sure everyone is looking forward to frequent updates and more of your great pictures!
