They could just be twins, I'd say! Haha,

This is my fourth ornate, and first brown one. And I was surprised at his temperament! I know he's the most ravenous frog I've ever had, but I much prefer to think of him as constantly extremely enraged because it's more adorable. Maybe being brown just predisposes you to be vicious :] He lunges angrily at ANY movement. Even if he sees you standing across the room through the glass. He puffs up ready to lunge. So maybe he is a bit angry after all. Haha.

He's a beautiful frog but he's not an Ornate Horned Frog (Ceratophrys ornata) - he's a Chacoan aka Cranwell's Horned Frog (Ceratophrys cranwelli). The markings on the back of the eye are the main give away - in Ornates they are single dots or marks that are only on the back of the eye, not stripes that lead onto the head. Welcome to the forum!

[John]

I should add that what I said is not a guarantee - the dot thing is only a guide - I've seen Ornates with stripes but you can usually distinguish them due to the rounder shape of their head and upper body.

[Kurt]

Also the "horns" are more pronounced in cranwelli than they are in ornata. I would back up John's ID that this is a Ceratophrys cranwelli.

[John]

Oh I'm sure this guy is cranwelli, I was just disclaiming my dots statement as being always true. Thanks though Kurt.

You're welcome
