    Default ACF Underside colour?

    Hi,

    I have 2 African Clawed Frogs, one albino, and one wild type.
    Both seem to be doing well, the albino is a few months older, and is slightly bigger, but the wild type seems to be catching up in size quickly.

    I have noticed recently, that on the wild type, where he used to have a creamy white colour on his belly and underside, it is started to look almost blotchy, some grey colour is showing up in spots almost.
    Is this normal?
    Seems to be acting fine, just all pictures I have seen, the undersides of the wild types are just the one cream type colour?

    Thanks

    Yes my wild type started out with a creamy belly but now it has changed to a blotchy-grey underbelly. He is also growing faster than my albino and seems more predatory lol.. I have a more olive lighter color ACF who has a creamy belly but no blotches sooo i don't know, it seems to vary a lot.

    Does it look like this?

    I have 3 wild type adults and they all seem to vary a bit.

    well thank you both for your input.
    Michael- yip, that is quite similar, and a lot of colouring on the legs too.

    As my frogs get bigger, I have noticed the albino is bigger, but longer, whereas the wild type is certainly rounder- can I assume that the albino is male, or is it too early to tell as I have only had them a few months?

    I bought my albino in May.. he was a VERY tiny froglet.. he is a little over 3 inches long now and does have nuptial pads so I know he is male. Probably need to wait a year to know exactly how big they will get though.

    I picked up my wild type ACF a month later perhaps (the one shown in the picture)? He was a bit smaller than my albino.. I want to say they're around the same size now but I've not noticed any nuptial pads so I'm thinking it's a female.

    I have a male I bought in February and he is tiny. Maybe 2" long. No color on the arms yet either. He has recently started to hit a growth spurt and become less shy.

    You may be able to tell, would have to see a pic. How big are they?
