For cantaloupes we grow goddess and ambrosia. They are about 2 weeks difference in maturity date so we plant at the same time and have a continuous crop for a couple weeks, I haven't found them to crack or split here unless I miss picking them... which I try not to. Both turn tan when ripe. I did one from Stokes seeds one year that stayed green when ripe and I missed it being ready.grr! So mark your calendar for approximate ready dates so you can check them.
