Dyed Frog?

[NJfrogger]

I just bought an ACF and the pet store also had "painted" frogs for more money. The lady who was working told me they hardly lived long and that she'd make sure I wouldn't get one because I got an Albino. It's hard to tell sometimes. Maybe call the pet store and ask them if they sell that variety?

It was sadly, from a dollar store. It may be hard to find out exactly where they got their frogs. My goal was just to get them off the shelves and provide a good home for them.

He seems healthy, just a bit smaller. I feed both of my frogs reptomin and brine shrimp pellets. He seems to like the sinking shrimp pellets more, but that's all I've really noticed about him.
I think I have had them both for about a month now! Maybe a little less.

There are some more pictures in my albums if that helps anyone in ambiguity

Saw some albinos being sold at our local pet store and they were dyed. Saddens me

Why in the world do people do this? It's cruel and while I expect poor treatment at the dollar store (where I picked them up) but a pet store SHOULD know better.
