    Question Color question

    Hello I have a Ceratophrys ornata and when I first got him he had your tipical apricot color but I have noticed that he now has a greenish tint and I am curious if this is common or if there is something I am not doing right. It is hard to see the green in the pic. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Looks like Ceratophrys cranwelli, not ornata. The colors change with age, so you are not doing anything wrong.

    you have a great looking pac there! I don't know how long you have had it, but my new baby albino had a greenish tent when i got it and is now very yellow and looks very much like yours. It was never apricot at all. Though I do have a 4yr old apricot albino and he has always had the same color from the time he got his legs. My non albino cranwelli pacs are a different shade every time they come out to eat, so I would not worry in the least. here's a pic of my male apricot albino.
