    It definitely has Cranwelli in it if not full blooded, but there are a few things on him that look reminiscent of an ornate. Never heard of cranwelli/ornata hybrids, but could possibly be a thing. My guess is it’s just a magnificently colored Cranwelli, but for those not familiar with the speciation of these frogs, the name “ornate” is a much sexier label to put on it than trying to say strawberry albino Pac-Man frog, thus driving up the value outside the tiny market of highly knowledgeable frog keepers.

    Ornata x cranwelli hybrids are usually called Orwell's, and from what I've researched they're not commonly available due to low spawn yields. According to those who have seen them they're said to have the skull shape of a Cranwell's and the patterning of an ornate. I agree, I imagine frog dealers and pet stores treat the "ornate" label similar to "fancy" bearded dragons, and price the frogs quite a bit higher. My guess is that the original buyer was misled and likely overcharged, although the strawberry/strawberry pineapple/apricot/sunburst morphs would be worth more than a standard albino as it is. I don't know much about frog breeding or morphs, but I would guess that the peachy morphs require a lot of selective breeding to produce, and are most likely pure Cranwell's. Thanks for the reply by the way!
