Cranweli or Ornata?

[dpcsquid]

Hey everyone! This is my first post, so I hope I don't make an idiot out of myself.

I bought a Cranweli from Petsmart a few weeks ago, and I got hooked on the little guy. I'm in love. <3 Last week I was at another petsmart that listed a baby Green Pacman (Ornata on their sign), and I took the little bugger home too. He's about 1.25 inches long, but now that I've rinsed him off I think he may be a Cranweli! Can you guys look at the pics and let me know?

His name is Picard. I want to put a little USS Enterprise Bridge as wallpaper on his glass one day, heheh!

Cranwelli

So what I'm getting here is that Petsmart likes to just kind of throw a dart at a board full of Pacman frog names and pick one out. Ah well, I'll love him just the same!

Yes pretty much. You would be lucky to find an employee in there that knows it will eat more than crickets.

Petsmart and Petco are notorious for labeling their Pacman Frogs wrong. I recently purchased a Green Apple Pacman from our local Petsmart and they sold it for $15.99 which is far less than Green Apples cost from a breeder or Expo.

Yeah I bought a cranwelli mislabeled as an ornata at Petco, too.

Your second one was severely stressed. Flipping over on their back repeatedly is one of the main signs of severe stress. Possibly from being introduced to a new environment. Did you place a background on 3 sides of the enclosure for security? 4 of my 6 Pacman Frogs from my local Petsmart.

Yeah the employees usually don't know anything. There are a select few that have well informed and experience employees, but most do not.
