    Agalychnis annae, I am feeling quite a bit envious. All I have is callidryas, but on the plus side, I have sucessfully bred them.

    All Agalychnis are in trouble. annae, callidryas, moreletii, etc. They are all beautiful and the more we can breed, the more pressure we can take off of wild populations. Hopefully they will all be incuded as proposed at the convention of CITES starting on Monday.

    Are you sure callidryas is in trouble? Everything that I have read, leads me to believe this is not the case.

    Here is the IUCN Red List status for all Agaychnis (& former Agalychnis) species
    Agalychnis callidryas, red-eyed leaf frog LC
    Agalychnis saltator, parachuting red-eyed leaf frog LC
    Agalychnis spurrelli, gliding leaf frogLC
    Cruziohyla calcarifer, splendid leaf frog LC
    Cruziohyla craspedopus, Amazon leaf frog LC
    Agalychnis litodryas, pink-sided leaf frog VU
    Agalychnis annae, blue-sided or yellow-eyed leaf frog EN
    Agalychnis moreletii, Morelet's or black-eyed leaf frog CR

    Yep. Go to the CITES website and you can read the full proposal which includes the reasoning behind the inclusion of the entire genus Agalychnis. Since callidryus is LC there must be sufficient concern for it's well being to put tight controls into place on it's exportation. At any rate, I hope they are icluded to try and stop poaching as much as possible.

    Agalychnis callidryas is not in trouble, the convention appears to be trying to prevent them from becoming so.

    At least they are trying to do something now instead of trying to bring them back after it's too late.

    Guys, come on, this is the Photo of the Month thread. Please create a discussion thread for Agalychnis if you want to keep talking about them.

    That female is enormous. Is she really as fat as she looks?

    she is the size of a silver dollar... the little one is the size of your thumb nail. I have two big ones... and the one small one... I thought it was a baby... so you think the big one is a girl... the small one a male. I have not heard any singing from the little one. I got them a year ago from my sisters house in the country... they are all over their hot tub... they hate them... so I took a few home... they are good eaters... and like to play at night... but they pee on you if you try to hold them... so they are mostly look but don't touch frogs... not like my dumpys and red eyes that like getting out for a romp around the TV room.

    Here is an African Clawed Frog from the National Zoo that I took a couple of months ago. They have these guys in a room with a bunch of other frogs in the Amazonia exhibit, which is a little confusing to me, but it's a neat exhibit.
