    Im thinking it cranwelli since no eyespots.. Yet horned ridges not pronounced...
    Btw, How do you correctly identify a ornata x cranwelli hybrid?

    It looks to be a Green Apple Pacman which is a hybrid between Ceratophrys cranwelli x C. joazeirensis.

    Orwells are a hybrid between C. ornata x C. cranwelli. They are almost never produced and do not have any real identifying features other than looking like a cranwelli, but being patterned like an ornata.

    yep green apple, the markings on its back give it away,(that and the lack of markings elsewhere) not an ornata,,,much more markings with them,,,,and (false eyes)

    Orwells have a lot of identifying features if you've ever seen one. The biggest thing is that they are almost the size of a male pyxie when full grown.

    Most never make it that far and the spawnings are extremely low yield. Like less than 20 surviving. Also they don't get big like you suggest. Philippe claimes they are small in stature. Inbetween cranwelli and ornata normal sizes with a rare occation that some get quite large.
