[Lija]

yes, it is albino C. cranwelli, very nice may i say! welcome to the frog forum!

if you want you can post your answers to "trouble in the enclosure" questions here so we can go through and advise if anything needs adjusting.
one thing specific for albino you need to know that they are sensitive to light, so you can't use UVB or any kind of bright lights.

Welcome to FF Loudan! Nice Pacman you got there. Well, my eyes ain't that great, but if frog eyes are red/pink; you got an albino. First thing to do is read this and make any needed adjustments to enclosure: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding . As Lija stated; starting right is important and providing answers to these might identify a deficiency and help prevent a problem later:

Right now can see you need to cover 3 sides of enclosure with aquarium background or paper of your choice (helps with stress). Also, if you are using lights to heat or view frog they have to be red or black (moonlight type) because albino eyes and skin are susceptible to light. If enclosure is too large, it might stress a baby Pacman frog and could need to consider dividing it and keeping frog in smaller section. Good luck !
