    There are supposed to be 8 species known and some more that are not known. I've only seen pictures of a few. You can look up their name.

    C. Aurita
    C. Cranwelli
    C. Ornata.
    C. Stolzmani
    C.calcaarta
    C. Cornuta

    These are the ones I know of. If you look them up by google you can find images as well as some descriptions. Wikipedia will also pop up with some information on them, but I'm not sure entirely how reliable the info is on some of them. Wish I could provide more.

    No. Ornates sometimes tend to get larger. Females can get up to 8 inches, but doesn't happen very often. Most C.B. Cornutas and Ornates don't grow larger than 5.5 to 6 inches. There are some whoppers out there though. Males tend to stay around 3.5 to 4 inches of both species. Cornutas have the largest horns and mouths.

    Here is the list again with all known species.

    C. Aurita
    C. Calcarata
    C. Cornuta
    C. Cranwelli
    C. Joazeirensis (Caatinga)
    C. Ornata
    C. Stolzmanni
    C. Testudo

    You can also find mixed breeds called Fantacy frogs which are more commonly C. Cranwelli x C. Cornuta and very rarely C. Ornata x C. Cornuta. There is also a mixed breed called the Orwell which is C. Ornata x C. Cranwelli which is also rare.
