Is this a fantacy frog?

[ryghnes]

Hi guys,

someone is offering this frog for sale, is it an original pacman frog? Are the differences very subtle?

thanks much,

[GrifTheGreat]

This is a Ceratophrys cranwelli not a Fantasy. Fantasy frogs are a hybrid between C. cornuta and C. cranwelli. The difference is very noticeable.

This is a Fantasy.

Hi "GrifTheGreat",

Thanks a lot for the explanation. I think it will take me sometime to correctly identify them, believe it is not in term of colors only?

Hello and welcome to FF ! Color has little to do with it. Fantasy's have pointer horns (genes from C. cornuta) and a body shape that is a mix from both species Colleen/Jerrod mentioned. Green/brown ones are stable in terms of health; but all are infertile.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks a lot for the explanation. I guess I have 2 cranweli and 1 ornata now. the temperature in my country is hot and humid, I read that hibernation is good for their health and they will live longer. I am not sure is there a way to trigger hibernation, am still googling. :>

No in captivity you dont need to do it. Just keep the same all year long
