    Default Another instalment of "What species are these?"!

    Hello all,

    I realize that these types of posts are abundant. I have read through a lot of them but am still not confident in my identification skills from photos. However, there are some real gurus here that answer quick so these posts can sink down to the bottom. I'm hoping that's what happens here

    These are three Ceratophrys sp. I am hoping to purchase from a local keeper. It's clear to me what two are, but I don't want to bias any opinions.

    Thanks!

    Thank you very much! That's what I suspected, but was looking for confirmation. The brown C. cranwelli was the biggest question for me.

    If I could ask a couple more questions. Regarding the brown C. cranwelli: it is labelled as a "green pacman frog" and "still little", so based on your ID, it won't retain any green into adulthood (but instead will turn brown)? Also, the albino is described as a "strawberry albino" of "about a year" and is priced accordingly. The third frog is described as a "red ornate pacman frog". Prices are $75 (albino), $35, and $50 (ornate) in Canadian funds (so reduce to about 80% for USD equivalent).

    I could likely get a
    package discount if I took all three. That is, if they are how they are described (they look pretty to me) and if their price accurately reflects this. I'd really love any opinions on this!

    Thanks again!

    Yes the Green will become brown or dark tan. All are labeled correctly and priced accordingly.
