Thanks everyone. I actually called back today and asked when they get a new shipment in and the lady told me tuesday. So hopefully tuesday they will have some more ornates

So the ornates have horns like the cranwellis and cornutas?

They all have horns but ornates have the false eye spots behind the horns. If you look at the pictures of the back of the frogs you can see how it has the dots there.Cranwellis dont have the dots.

All of Ceratophrys species have horns. Hence the name (Horned Frogs). The Ornates have the smallest Horns(fleshy projections on the eyelid) of the Horned frog family. Cranwellies have pretty prominant horns and the Cornutas have the largest horns. There are several species of Horned frogs, but I do not know what all of them look like as most of them are extremely rare or not in the pet trade at all.

Sorry I'm not retarded I just don't know much about these frogs. I didn't know they were called 'horned frogs'. The one at the petsmart here didn't look like it had horns, but I guess it is too young? I don't know.

I didn't mean to sound like I was insulting your intelagence. I was just sharing information. This way you can better recognize these species. They don't have horns as babies. They develope when they are juvinile. Except for the Cornuta which seem to have them in every stage from froglet to adult.

It's ok! I know you mean no harm. You have been very kind and patient with me and my noob questions!! I'm thinking about getting that little pac... I wonder if my roommates will approve of another frog.

Might be something to discuss with them. I bet they'll think he/she is cute.

When I was still smuggling Trevor into my dorm the roommates thought he was adorable... His food, they didn't appreciate so much :P He went over a lot less well once he got big enough that his food started chirping...

Lucky finding actual ornates! Trevor was an 'ornate' when I bought him from a chain petstore too. I knew he was a cranwelli from the get-go though, so it wasn't a huge letdown.

better fatten them up, they look a bit skinny. I love the second one, the first almost looks like mine. I bought mine from a vendor at an expo. They thought he was a Cranwelli, but he's an Ornata^^ I got him for $20. Yours look very pretty. My guy was lime green when I got him, then he changed to brown with lime green dorsal stripe and spots on his head.

All the ornates ive had changed a little nothing to drastic tho. They will keep there green tho and not turn the dark brown like most green cranwellis. It could vary from frog to frog but for me they havent changed to dramatically.

I went to Petsmart to try my luck but no luck. I asked and they said they get them in usually on Wednesdays. You were in the right place at the right time! Guess where I'm going on Wednesday!

Nice little guy/girl you have there. Your going to end up going to petsmart weekly to see if they have any more companions for your friend

Guess I need to start frequenting Petsmart! I usually support local shops before petsmart/petco. Those are some awesome Ornates. I want one now, and I have a spare 10 and 20 gallon laying around
