Strange White's Breeding Question Is it safe (genetically speaking) to breed an Australian White's Tree Frog with an Indonesian kind? I've been kinda curious as to what would happen. I want to breed Retsu-Chi in a few years once I figure out his/her gender, (It's still too young to croak) but I also think a White's of somewhat blueish-by-comparison-skin pigment would be very cool to have. I don't really want to go out and buy 3 different frogs so....
Is it safe? Will I be frowned upon by the frog owning community for mixing em or are they alright since they're the same species anyway.

Re: Strange White's Breeding Question Same reason as for Dart Frogs?Originally Posted by John
Re: Strange White's Breeding Question Well if I knew I was buying a cross-bred White's Tree Frog I wouldn't want it. Maybe that's just me.

Re: Strange White's Breeding Question Yes, even more so. Breeding different morphs, say of Dendrobates tinctorius, would only produce mutts that no one in the frog community would want.

Re: Strange White's Breeding Question <_< >_> in that case... can a 33 gallon house 3 white's safely?
Re: Strange White's Breeding Question Most definitely.

Re: Strange White's Breeding Question Has anyone seen a cross bred whites? I'm kind of curious of the appearance. My littlest, Scooter is a captive bluish one (aus), but he/she ended up two-toned. His head, arms, legs will turn blue-green, but his back always remains brown.... Almost like a wide stripe.

Re: Strange White's Breeding Question O_O That sounds really cool. Can I see a picture?
Re: Strange White's Breeding Question yup, next time he is green again. He's usually always brown as he likes to sit low in the branches... they all have their favorite spots. Jade - inside the plastic castle, Dumper - high on the glass behind leaves and Scooter - low under the branches.
