    He's very nice. I'm glad to see his eye has improved.

    I got 2 Ornates in the last week. I wasn't going to get the second but the pet shop had him mislabelled and so a lot cheaper than he was supposed to be.

    He looks a lot better. I love that color that he is mainly because of the lime green stripe. You took advantage of the opportunity good job John. I hope they end up happy.

    That's how I got my ornate! I had given up on finding one and decided to just go with an albino cranwell's instead because I wasn't crazy about paying $35+ in shipping and didn't find a single frog (much less the ornate I was seeking) at the last herp show I went to ... so ... I've been scoping out local pet stores, since I just moved here, for horned frogs. One Petco had an albino cranwell, so I set up the tank and was going to go back to buy him and passed by a smaller store on the way there ... there I discovered that they had an albino cranwell, not quite as nice looking but $10 cheaper, so I decided to go with it. The worker was getting the albino ready for me when I decided heck, even though I already have a "green pacman frog," I might as well check out their green cranwell's up close -- he was in the tank next to the albino but was covered up. Lo and behold it was the beautiful ornate and I snatched him up, at a very reasonable $20 since he was mislabelled as a cranwell's

    I don't know if $20 is generally good for ornates, but the cheapest I've found online was $25-35 and that wasn't even including shipping, so I was thrilled. I didn't intend on coming home with 2 new additions, but I did anyway.

    Those trips are interesting. I have had that happen before.

    That's the cheapest I've heard of for ornates. I got my mislabelled fellow for $30. They had the ornate label on the wrong frog (they'd mixed up the Cranwell ("Green Pacman") with the "Ornate") - the Ornate label said $45. I got my other Ornate last Sunday at the New England Herp Expo in New Hampshire for $39 (about normal for an Ornate).

    So you did very well!
