Yup, do you have any

[IrishRonin]

yeah, like I said I have 10 of these great little ones, in fact my avatar is my favorite one out of my collection I love his pattern

My two are my favorite of all my frogs! I wish we had green ones down here in So Cal; here they are all grayish brown. But still adorable! I wish they sold blue phase somewhere.

I love Pacific tree/chorus frog, too! Here are some of the chorus frog that I caught last spring. The first three pictures are of a Pacific giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) that I caught in a redwood forest for bonus!



The ones with a tan throat like the one below is an indication of a male.

Here's a pic of a Pacific chorus frog egg mass


I'm a big fan of these little guys. They have beautiful colorations and I rarely find two frogs that have the same color and pattern. Beware of keeping these frogs, though, because recent study had shown that they're highly resistant to chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis), a fungal pathogen that can cause a lethal disease in amphibians. I would personally assume the chorus frogs you have are harboring chytrid fungus. Any precautions? Yes, don't keep other frogs/amphibs in the same tank. If you are to use the same terrarium for another amphibian species, I would rinse the tank thoroughly with bleach solution (1 part bleach: 10 parts water) and dry it for several days because bleach or desiccation can kill chytrid fungus.

I didn't know about that rib-bit of theirs and I never really looked at these frogs until now. They are very nice looking, they kind of look like the wood frog from Michigan except they're green with the brown mask. Grats man.
