    Thanks. I'll continue on with my research.

    These frogs are really awesome looking. There's just something about the way they look. Do you have pictures of your set-up?

    Bryan, these species are similar in care, bicolour can tolerate a bit higher humidity, but need way bigger cages. You won't be able to find CB frogs, so if you are to get bicolour it is gonna be WC = more headache and possible medical problems, because of all that I would not consider it as a beginner frog. But there is nothing like holding one of these. Very very impressive frogs when they're happy and healthy ( see pics of Daniel frog in his other thread)

    sauvagii are awesome, you can get cb baby, they can live in smaller cages and need lower humidity. I would suggest you go with these.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I don't about you guys over the pond but here in the UK and EU, I have never seen any CB bicolor for sale. As Lija said, more often that not bicolors come into the pet trade with some dreadful rubs.

    Here are some shots from a friend of mine here in the UK. This is a large female.

    Lol. I'm still disappointed that I don't have my sauvagii's. Such a beatiful species.

    I would say at least 5-6" but cannot be sure Dan. He has a group of 9 I think: two females, seven males and all kept in a large indoor plastic greenhouse with sprinkler system. The group is in cooling right now so hopefully by early next year, we may start to see a fresh line of CB bicolors in the trade (we can wish)...!!

    No room at the Inn at the minute here Lija. I'm up to my neck with all the Agalychnis. If I had the room then I would be looking to expand.

    I could not live without my brood of sauvs. They have such wonderful characteristics.

    I almost forgot....

    I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who builds enclosures using butt joints and angle braces!
