GUYS I NEED HELP Determining this C cranweli morph or is it a different species?

[ianski333]

i saw her at my local pet store and they priced her around 6000 php around 120$
the owner told me that it has a morph gene in it wich is a bit rare he presumed,
i just want to assure myself of geting a good female to breed my lime green..


by the looks in my pictures her back legs seems to be longer than most CC iv seen so far and he looks like of that pacific Horned frog
btw i am new to this awesome forum and i am looking for an honest feedback. what do you guys think?


thanks fellow frogsmen!

Its not a Pacific Horned Frog Ceratophrys stolzmani. Its a Cranwelli. I cannot get a good look from the pictures of what morph of cranwelli it is though.

One more thing, the reason the legs look longer is because they are splayed out. When these frogs are kept on water over a slick surface (such as glass or plastic), they have nothing to grip against. This does not allow their legs to develop properly. Eventually it leads to malformation and muscle atrophy. These are not aquatic frogs and should not be kept as such.

Thanks foir the tip GrifDgreat
i feel bad if it where a malformation of the legs T_T
but then i will be observing it more. i might tell the owner of the store to give it a proper substrate. i
it's been in that small glass container for long periods of time i believe. i really feel bad. btw sorry for the bad picture.. will try and take another good photo

That Pacman is being kept in the wrong environment and presume fed the wrong food too (goldfish). Recommend you pass this one and keep looking for a healthier animal. Good luck !
