Pacman crossbreeding and other questions

[Mentat]

Hello and welcome to FF ! Your frog is still young and should be 3.5-4 in. SVL before it starts to develop adult traits Can find answers to a few of your questions in here: Frog Forum - Pacman and Horned Frogs - Ceratophrys - Care and Breeding.

IMO, breeding Pacman frogs is very challenging even for an experienced keeper and not a "weekend warrior" type project. The linked article has a breeding section that goes briefly over the subject, so it should help getting an idea of what is involved.

Fantasy frogs (C. cranwelli X C. cornuta) are the only common viable sterile hybrid Pacmans in market today. Other Pacman hybrids have been produced; but the low numbers of frogs making it to sellable size and still lower survival to adult rates, keep them off the market.

IRT different morphs genealogy; the breeders only share that intellectual property with very close associates, if at all. If interested to learn more about Pacman's and their care, recommend read Philippe de Vosjoli book titled "Horned Frogs plus Budgett's Frogs."

"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."


I found this on the forum posted by a guy named Grif. Kinda answers some of my questions. Then I went to mikesphatfrogs website and looked at all his morphs and that answered a few more of my questions.

Hi,

IRT different morphs genealogy; the breeders only share that intellectual property with very close associates, if at all.

depends on the breeder and their policy/agenda. There are some breeders who share their knowledge. E.g. here you can see the result of a Albino x Albino breeding >>click here<<, Apricot x Apricot breeding >>click here<< or Peppermint x Peppermint >>click here<< ...interesting colors/morphs, aren't they!?

=> Are their any line breedings of the different morphs or are the different morphs (apricot, super apricot, sunburst, patternless,...) just random results by breedings of different color morphs? *hmmm*

kind regards,
Martin
