So I just got into the world of morphs a little while back and the sheer variety of it is overwhelming me.
I wanna ask the vets for a little help, the frogs below were sold to me thru a online store and I wanna just be sure the seller got the morphs identified right.
This one sold as a Strawberry Pineapple Albino
This one as an Apricot Albino.
Also, does anyone have a pic of a Sun Kissed Apricot? Been looking hi and lo for a pic of one but can't seem to locate it! Thanks in advance guys!

Thank you for the confirmation! Just wanted to know I was getting my idents right! And your new babes are gorgeous! Guess that smidgen of bright yellow is what separates the Sun Kissed from the normal Apricots huh?

Is there a thread/general guide somewhere for "easy identification" of all the different colors/types of pacmans? I see people mentioning eye spots and patterns and colors and I lose track, lol. Having a picture guide/dictionary of sorts with basic color/pattern descriptions would definitely be helpful to us noobs if there isn't one already posted up here somewhere. If there is already something like that, maybe we can sticky it so it stays at the top where it's easy to find? That might cut back on the "what type of frog did I just buy?" threads.
I have never seen a list containing all the morphs out there. There are too many and some do look very similar. Also each breeder will name each morph something a little different. If you look at a breeder's website the morphs and species they breed will be listed. Like The Frog Ranch has.
Hmm, maybe not all the morphs, then, lol. Still, hitting the basic breeds and most common morphs might not be a bad idea. That could be a fun project to work on, actually, something like a full on pacman frog wiki that people could add to or edit and search easily. If no one minds, maybe I'll look into some web templates that might work and get something started, then post the link from here so anyone could contribute.
I remember seeing one at the Frog Ranch but a lot of the links are broken. Mike's own page does have quite a few great pics but doesn't cover every available morph or hybrid as well! There's still much to learn for me!
