Brown Cranwellis Photoshoots (Pic Heavy)

Ha ha!!!! Where is Bobby at a time like this .

What do you suppose the genetic makeup is for any brown-turning cranwelli? I am figuring the brown gene is dominant 3 to 1 ? Just speculating .

Say, using the xy genetic model? Taking 2 browns, 2 greens....would you say 1 of 4 will hold a good percentage of green per 4 offspring? Just wondering .

Hey Grif, stop dying your babies with sharpies!!!

LOL, I kid I kid. What a change though, the babies could probably slide by as a samurai morphs specially the one on the right...if you think about it I wonder how many people have gotten ripped off lol.

I think a lot of it depends on their environment too. They adapt to match their surroundings so they force the brown pigment to become dominant, but many do turn brown or tan. True greens are from a more wet area so they are green in order to match the more lush green vegetation.

Then in that case I demand Zoo Med to create a green/blue eco earth substrate so our frogs look more exotic!! I mean heck, even hamsters got all these colorful beddings!

I'd be all for that! Also Grif, the sibling is showing even more tan colour. I have to admit, watching them growup and morph colours is teaching me alot for the future.
I never knew these frogs were such chameleons, because well, it's not like my first albino was going to morph colours.

So maybe if we follow this pattern....next baby I get will be a very dark brown color so when he grows up, ends up being a bright green lol.

Sorry....doesn't work that way.

I always tell people who buy our frogs that we cannot guarantee that they will not change in color......but THIS change is just stunning!! Thanks for sharing the pictures!!!
