    I'm partial to that gorgeous retic but I have to admit I never realized there were so many different morphotypes of Pacman frog (assuming they are all the same species, I am not very well versed in my frog identification).

    I've really only seen a few examples in person with minor varying degrees of color from what I'd assume are wildtypes and albinos; I had no idea so much morph potential was in these frogs. Dark ones, bright ones, different patterns... I think the one that is most interesting to me is the about halfway down to the far right... he kind of looks like a piebald? Awesome.

    Nice collection you've had there Mike! Enjoyed your photos = )

    !I believe that is a C. Cranwelli Lime Green Albino Mutant Jeff. To put it in a rough way, there are a ridiculous amount of varying color Morphs out there. Especially of C. Cranwelli. Mike has many as you can see

    The one above is a blue eyed mutant. I do have two lime green mutants. Don't know what pic was looked at. Lol

    Yes! That is the one I was looking at, the one you just reposted on Post #22... he is gorgeous...along with much of the rest of your collection of course.

    If there are going to be as many pacman morphs as BP morphs I might consider expanding my collection into the uncharted phib zone 0.0

    I really like the pacs. I think in a year or so I'm going to do ball pythons. I want to breed the pieds and pied morphs.
