Petsmart had some Ornates...To my surprise

[GrifTheGreat]

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.

Yeah, we went to Petsmart today to see if they had ornates. Just to look, of course. ;-) but they didn't have any pacmans, ornate or otherwise. In fact the only frog they had was a green tree frog who was hidding. Not that I need another frog. Darn frog addiction! Lol

Theres maybe 10 petsmarts in a 25 mile radius of me. And i know they usually get a shipment in on tuesday so i usually call around noon time and see if they have any available. And if they do this upcoming tuesday im going on a ornate hunt to see if they got anymore in

Photos that I've seen of the Aurita do not show horns much larger than a Cranwelli. An adult Cornuta has very tall pointed projections. Aurita does have the largest stripe down its back. From eye to eye and about and down the back. Of course some of more unknown species may have even larger horns.

I've seen a few photos and videos. From what I've seen Cornuta seems to have the largest, but may differ from frog to frog.
