I recently came across a mom and pop pet store while traveling out of state, and I noticed that they had a tank full of little captive bred babies. These were blue dorsally and white with black markings ventrally, is that normal for captive bred fire-bellies? I had never seen that before, all the pictures I can find online of young ones are the typical green and bright orange.

Ive never heard of such a thing, can you get pictures of the ones at the pet shop?

I'll call the guy and see if he can email me some now that I am back home. They were extremely cheap and there were several of them, so I just assumed that that's what cb firebellies looked like haha. After all I don't believe I have seen too many cb firebellies in person anyways lol.

yeah, usually if they are that cheap they may be wild caught or hybrids,
usually captive FBTs are a little darker than usual and arent as bright in the pet store

the only "blue" firebellys i have come across, were owned by a member of a group i am a member of. but they were more of a sea foam - blue, with regular firebelly belly coloring.
ide be very interested in seeing pictures of these little guys if you can get one!
I've never seen them blue before just the nice green orientalis's and those imo, ugly, brown ones (Bombina bombina).
I have a few blue ones, one is a dark blue, one is only blue in the head/face. I would be really interested to add to my breeders... PM me if you are willing to do some middle-man work...
I also know someone on another group I'm a member of (on Facebook...the same group Kristie is talking about I think) that will be having Blue Fire Belly Toad tadpoles any day now...
Here's the link the the group page if anyone is interested: https://www.facebook.com/groups/131430787059251/
Lol that's me...

Ha ha! Awesome. Small world
I'm sure we'd all love pictures
A search for 'blue bombina' in google turns up a few pictures. One from FrogForum http://www.frogforum.net/introductio...etings-cz.html,
one from Blue FBTs breeding - talk to the frog, but both are from the same person in the Czech Republic Bombina orientalis - chov
