I think I might need to check myself into horned frog rehab; I now have nine of the little buggers! Just adopted two from their former owners; one is a "fantasy" frog (C. cornuta x C. cranwelli), the other is an albino C. cranwelli. Both seem pretty healthy, though I'll be watching them closely for the first few weeks since both had enclosures overflowing with abundant fail (one was 100% loose moss, the other 100% gravel, both great for causing impactions with accidental ingestion). I can't say I'm terribly fond of albinos, but her price was a real steal and I think her impressive size will make her a good education animal. Anyways, Pics:

"Langston" the fantasy frog. About 3" SVL. Cute, but very asymetrical markings.


"Amaranth" the albino. About 5" SVL and BEEFY. She has a very male looking head shape, but no nuptial pads, so I'm assuming a lady.



Thanks for looking!

Damn, do they eat whole chickens, LOL? They are pretty. I've long wanted one, but I have trouble keeping enough food for everybody as it is.

There's some nice reddish colouration on that albino. And I agree that lack of nuptial pads aside, it looks a bit too bulky to be a male. Nice frogs, both.

Yeah, I do like that she has a lot of red. My general opinion of almost all things albino is "ungh, gross," and most albino pacs look like old scrambled eggs to me. But, she is definitely easier on the eyes with those prominent reds and oranges.

(And oh stevetastic... Hi pot, I'm kettle. ;) )

AWWW! :D

i've only got my 2 pacmans (a low-green and a brown), 2 pyxies and the toad i rescued as a baby.

they don't move much, but there's something about them that's really appealing (and adorable). maybe i'm a sucker for a stomach with eyes?

Very nice finds. At 5" SVL it is definitely a lady, I've never seen a male that big.

Pretty frogs, but how can an albino have black pigment (eyes)?
