    You'll have to see as it grows. If its a fantasy the throat should turn spotty like a Cranwelli.

    Hmmm... interesting. I'm starting to suspect that throat coloration is not always true (although usually are true) to differentiate fantasy from Cornuta. Perhaps skull structure is a more reliable trait? The interorbital space (the "forehead" between eyes) of Cornuta appears to be more even, as opposed to Cranwelli concaves upward. I wonder how reliable that can be either.

    Skull structure could be a good indicator, but it all depends on which species the Fantasy frog takes after more. Same can be said about Green Apple Pacmans.

    Look at the photo of the month on the home page. It is of two Cornutas. You can see that both of them have solid black throats.

    Male Cranwellis and Fantasies often have dark spots on their throats. When the males call they get "bruising" on their throats that makes it look darker. But it still won't look solid black or brown like a Cornuta.
