What type of pacman frog is mine

[SethD]

and thanks for the information. Now not just being albino how do you tell the difference between the types of pacmans?

Well there are a couple of ways, but the quickest and easiest thing to remember is that ornata will not really have "horns" at all, just a slight dome, cranwelli will have definite but small "horns" and cornuta will have longer and quite noticeable "horns" as will many cornuta x cranwelli hybrids. There are a number of other species too but those three are the only ones readily available in the hobby. Ceratophrys aurita may slowly become more available over the next several years as well but at the present it is either completely unavailable or extremely overpriced and is likely to remain so for the next several years at least.

cranwelli

[GrifTheGreat]

One main trait that gives away an Ornate is that they have false eye spots on the back of each eye. Only C. Ornata have these spots. C. Cornuta are very rigid and leafy in appearance and have very dark throats. C. Cranwelli is the most common of the trade and look similar to Ornates, but have completely different posture and no false eye spots. If you wish to research the different species that are commonly known here they are;

Ceratophrys Aurita
C. Calcarata
C. Cornuta
C. Cranwelli
C. Joazeirensis(Caatinga)
C. Ornata
C. Stolzmani(Pacific)
C. Testudo

Do not be surprised if you have trouble finding information on some of the species. Many are not fully studied or documented well.
