    Thanks guys. I actually took him home (he jumped onto my shirt so how could I say no). I also took home a female I found. They are living together in a small exo-terra.

    Wow! Beautiful pics of your frogs NAT. They look nice and healthy. I bet they have an appetite to match.

    The yellow leg bands are very interesting to me. While I know both species have the yellow on the legs, is it common for versicolor bands to wrap all the way around like that? (I never get to see them except in your folks pictures, nothing but chrysoscelis here.)
