    Default 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.

    Safe, yes. However, the general consensus is that frogs from markedly different locations should not be bred together. If it were me, I wouldn't do it.

    Same reason as for Dart Frogs?

    Well if I knew I was buying a cross-bred White's Tree Frog I wouldn't want it. Maybe that's just me.

    Yes, even more so. Breeding different morphs, say of Dendrobates tinctorius, would only produce mutts that no one in the frog community would want.
