    Default Which Species Do I Have?

    Hello everyone!

    I have a cute little pacman frog named Digi, and I would finally like to find out once and for all what species he/she actually is. I've looked at tons of pictures, but several of the common species look pretty similar to a noob like me. I figured there must be plenty of experienced owners on here that can help!

    Is this picture enough? Or do you need to see more?


    (This photo was taken a few months ago... Digi has grown a ton and has plumped up quite nicely!)

    I think it's a Cranwelli but I'm also a bit of a noob and could very well be wrong

    Lol eating like a pig!!! Quite the appetite, as I've heard most of these guys have ^_^
    Now I just need to do some research on how to tell the difference between males and females so that I can properly call Digi a he or she

    Also, I've heard that the main noticeable difference between ornata and cranwelli is spots behind the eyes. Is this true? Spots on ornata, no spots on cranwelli?

    Ornata and Cranwelli also differ in body shape and features as well as the false eye spots behind the eyes of Ornata.
