    There dosent seem to be a difference between the two names, Dumpy simply referrs to them being plump frogs, there are two bloodlines of WTFs, the indonesian and australian tree frogs, the two are probably housed seperately, if not the indonesians are lime green to brown and the aussies are blue, to green to brown.

    Dumpy tree frog and whites tree frogs are the same species just different common names. But like Ryan said, there is 2 different localities. The Asie's and the Indo's. Both CAN be housed together but a lot of petstores house them seperatly cause its easier to grab the correct one for a customer.

    If they are blue then they are 100% ausies. Other then that, better hope the breeder/ seller knows what hes talking about.

    Blue eyed whites are being bred from both the Aussie locale and the Indo locale. The Indo blue eyes are the more common ones.
