Taiwan frog pics - tree frogs

[Xquirrel]

I'm soory, I could not view your pics, however, I do own 5 Polypedates megacephalus in my vivarium. I caught them as tiny tadpoles and raised them now to young frogs. They are super easy to raise as they are tolerant to a wide range of habitats and this made a great experience for me to keep frogs as a starter.

I'm soory, I could not view your pics, ...

Oh, darn it! I uploaded them to the gallery and then linked from there. Maybe I need to change the settings on the album or something. They show up okay for me ...

Anybody have any ideas what I might be doing wrong, or an easier way to attach pics?

Your pictures show up fine for me as well, and they're visible in your album. You could always do one big post in the "General Discussion & News" forum? The "Artwork" forum might apply as well but I'm not sure photography was intended to be included. We could probably use a "Photography" forum for gratuitous frog pictures...

Thanks for sharing. It's always interesting to see frogs from around the world!

Just another couple of pictures of Taiwanese tree frogs taken on a trip a few days ago. No new species spotted (I think ... I'll have to check some descriptions before deciding for sure), but I thought these little guys looked particularly cute.

Oh, and a little correction to my previous pic post. It seems that Taiwan actually has two Polypedates species ... the indigenous P. braueri and recently introduced P. megacephalus. I haven't been able to get good enough info to be able to decide which species the pictured frogs belong to. Irritating! I hope the scientists know what they're talking about, as I've read that the Forestry Bureau is carrying out a purge on local P. megacephalus.


Hyla chinensis ... he almost seemed to be posing for me!


Rhacophorus prasinatus and Hyla chinensis ... just hanging out, looking like best buds!

Great pictures! I wish I had such good looking native frogs

Keep 'em coming!

Thanks! Don't be so hard on Swedish amphibians though ... you have a pretty decent selection there. Hyla arborea isn't so very different from Hyla chinensis in appearance, and you have a nice bunch of toads as well as the frogs. And newts too! I have to go up to 3000 metres a.s.l. to see salamaders here.

Well we do have Bufo viridis wich is a beautiful species. It's very rare though and you can only find it in the south of Sweden. Where I live we only have Bufo bufo and Rana temporaria I think.
But don't get me wrong, I really like Bufo bufos. But they're a little dull looking
