Agalychnis annae, I am feeling quite a bit envious. All I have is callidryas, but on the plus side, I have sucessfully bred them.
we're all fans of frog porn here, you can admit it
I'm attempting to get my 3.4 group going, no real success yet.
Agalychnis annae, I am feeling quite a bit envious. All I have is callidryas, but on the plus side, I have sucessfully bred them.
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.
CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA
Fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties Doha (Qatar), 13-25 March 2010
CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSALS FOR AMENDMENT OF APPENDICES I AND II
A. Proposal
Inclusion of the genus Agalychnis in Appendix II in compliance with Article II, paragraph 2 (a), of the text of the Convention, and Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP14) Annex 2 a, paragraph B, for:
Agalychnis callidryas (Cope, 1862)
Agalychnis moreletii (Duméril, 1853)
And in compliance with Article II, paragraph 2 (b), of the text of the Convention, and Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP14), Annex 2 b, paragraph A, for:
Agalychnis annae (Duellmann, 1963)
Agalychnis saltator (Taylor, 1955)
Agalychnis spurrelli (Boulenger, 1913)
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.
I actually don't know what size a silver dollar is, what with not being American :P.

You know John they're size of small pancakes. LOL
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.
