I recently did photoshoots with all three of the Rubbies that we got from the Ivorys. They are all doing great! Each one of them has turned out to have slight different coloring. As always, it was very hard to accurately capture their colors. They ended up looking a lot more orange in their pictures, when really they are more of a dark pink color. Anyway, here are my little gems.
First up we have Mariko (female). She is feisty but overall fairly laid back, unless you are a worm of course.
She is the darkest of the three and her coloring was the hardest to capture.
Then we have Kipling or Kip for short. He was a very active baby right up until he started calling. Then within a matter of days he became on of the laziest boys in our frog family!
His coloring is kind of reversed; his head is actually lighter in color and his lower body is darker. He looks a little thin in these pictures, but that is only because he had a Massive bowel movement right before.
And finally we have this girl. She doesn't have a name yet. (Sometimes it takes a while to find the right name.) She is fairly gentle and a little shy.
She is the palest of the three Rubbies. She actually has almost no pigment on her lower body. It looks like someone erased her color on her lower back and belly. I love the way she looks!
This shot in particular captures her reduced pigmentation.
Thanks again to Ivory Reptiles for the beautiful babies! I should have updated pics of the other ones soon.
Just for reference, here are pictures of each of them as babies.
Amazing frogs Grif. They were especially adorable as babies. I think I like Mariko the most because of her dark coloured body and how chunky she is. Well done raising such beautiful frogs.
Very nice and interesting colors; my favorite is Mariko !
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
Those are some very beautiful frogs! I'm drawn to the albinos for some reason.
Good Morning Friends,
These three babies are really pretty.
You have a beautiful collection !

Thanks everyone! We assumed most people would like Mariko, but I really like how Kip looks like he was dipped in red paint and how his back looks like water smeared paint.
They are all attractive, healthy looking frogs. I agree with you though, Kip is the best looking.
Bump!!
Oh my goodness, I feel so bad now for the other 2, but I love Mariko too
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
So pretty!
One more, just for fun!
