I'm expecting a pair of these guys in the mail on tuesday more than likly 1.1.0, i know their care is pretty basic and the same as all other Horned frogs , but i still have some questions and i have not found very much info on the net about them really, How big do these guys get?(i've heard 7") and i've also heard they have a bluish color to them is that true? and also my most important question, can i breed them since they are hybrids(will the eggs be fertile??), thanks much all help greatly appreciated. Jeff

ok i have them now and i'm positive they are a pair, so does anyone know the answer to my question? will hybrid Horned frog eggs be fertile?

From my limited experience with genus Ceratophrys, yes hybridization can produce fertile eggs. The frogs commonly sold under the generic term "pacman" are often hybrids. Ornata and cranwelli are genetically compatible, but I'm not sure if this results from voluntary or artificially induced breeding.
