    My research on horned frogs leads me down the road of not for me to breed. You can find good books, caresheets, and great info on this website if you take the time required. Actually a google search of "horned frog care" found me this website via a link in a thread of a caresheet with detailed info on breeding horned frogs. I think its something like get a healthy boy and a girl of sexual maturity, stimulate the cool dry season and let them follow their instincts to bruminate for two months minimum, simulate the rainy season, after they wake up put em in an appropriate mostly aquatic environment and let them be frogs, then if all goes well you get to take care of a lot of tadpoles!

    It is going to take a lot of research and preparation to breed... I would recommend focusing on general husbandry and keep them for at least a year before you attempt breeding.

Im just sure i can provide the food for the new hatchlings and the space needed for them the only problem is how to breed and not let them eat each other is what im most afraid of. how hard for an albino and a ornate breed together

    Very, very difficult. They are two different species. Albinos are Cranwellis. A cross between an Ornate and a Cranwelli is called an Orwell, but they are rare. And I have never heard of one from an Albino crossed with an Ornate. It is hard enough to get two. Ornate to breed. A lot of breeders end up using hormones. You would be better off to start with breeding Cranwells.

    There is not a species called a Green Pacman. There are Green morphs of nearly each species. You need to do a lot of research. There are 8 species that are known and they are as follows;

    Ceratophrys Aurita
    Ceratophrys Calcarata
    Ceratophrys Cornuta
    Ceratophrys Cranwelli
    Ceratophrys Joazeirensis(Caatinga)
    Ceratophrys Ornata
    Ceratophrys Stolzmani(Pacific)
    Ceratophrys Testudo

    A few are rare or not available so do your research. You have a long way before you will be capable of breeding these frogs. Also Pacman is their name for the Pet Trade. They are actually called Horned Frogs.

    I think the term "Green Pacman" is usually referring to a green phase Cranwelli. If it's an Ornata usually people call it "Ornate Pacman" instead of just green pacman. So in a way "Green Pacman" is somewhat synonymous with Cranwelli.
