There are several species. There is C. cranwelli, Cranwell's horned frog. There is C. ornata, ornate, or common horned frog. There is C. cornuta, which has the largest "horns," but it is more difficult to care for as many prefer to eat other frogs than insects. Plus, there is another species that is smaller, but I forget what it is called, as it hasn't been imported in a while. There is a smaller, ornate look a like called "chacoan burrowing frog." Plus there is a hybrid often called "Fantasy frog," which I believe is C. cranwelli x cornuta.

Is he green with reddish brown stripes? and yellowish coloration on his belly and mouth? Thats an ornate horned frog. The other one most commonly available is C. cranwelli. I forget what this one looks like, so I'd do a search at google.
