tortorama:

The website is this:

http://www.wildsky.net/frogs/eeespecies.htm

A "Ceratophrys hybrid limegreen albino" is also depicted. I have had a couple of young albinos myself with green color like that (and even more intense). This has faded away in all of them, leaving them with only the typical yellow and orange colors.

I am not ordering frogs from the website mentioned above (not even sure that is possible) – I can get them from a local dealer.





EMWhite:

Thank you for your reply.

Regarding the fertility of Ceratophrys-hybrids: I once read a statement saying that pure C. ornata and C. cranwelli are very hard to find today, as most frogs offered are a mix of these two species.



If this is true, I think this would imply that the hybrids can probably breed with each other and with both of the pure species to produce a range of hybrids with different ratios of ornata:cranwelli genes.



I only have the 1994 book on horned frogs by Hunziker and it has nearly no information on hybrids and color variants, do you (or anyone else) know if any of the more recent books (Bartlett & Bartlett 2000, Both 2005, De Vosjoli 2006) cover this topic in more detail?



Best regards,

Nicholas
