ID needed... Toady creature thing

[deifiler]

Hi all,

I got this little beauty today, it's around 3-4inches in size.

Anyway, I bought it as a Ceratophrys cranwelli, though I'm unsure if it is or not; I'm pretty sure it's a member of the genus, however.

After doing some basic google image searches, I'm guessing it may be "Ceratophrys ornata" - your thoughts? What distuinguishing features would be present in this species? Any areas to photograph?

Also, would it be correct to assume that this specimen is perhaps an albino? My amphibian knowledge is pretty limited at present (though I have had experience in keeping various amphibs, it was at a much younger age where I didn't have the lust or thirst for knowledge...)

Cheers

Hmmm third picture is very similar to the previous, I didn't mean to upload the first one. Anyway, a better view of its full grace

I noticed that too! Well, I think he'll fit that name, based on those evil looking red eyes!

Deifiler:

What you have is a Ceratophrys cranwelli. As of now, the only albino member of Ceratophrys [commonly] avaliable in the hobby is C. cranwelli. There are several distinguishing features between the members of Ceratophrys, but your situation does not warrant the use of them.

Cheers! Google image searches for "Ceratophyrs" brought up variety of images, so I was totally confused.

Thanks for clearing things up for me
