    The dark brownish-purple is a nighttime color change. I have A.moreletii and the CB juveniles turn this color at night and back to green in the daytime. My WC ones are adults and they do not change. This is one of the things I am recording while studying them. I am curious to see if the CB ones change color when they become adults and if it's the females or males that change. Right now both sexes do. Anyway, yes this is normal.

    I can't open that pic. If you could upload a pic in the reply I might be able to sex it for you. I need a good shot of it's head from the top, or better yet from the bottom if it"s stuck to the glass.

    Thanks Ebony. I kinda hope its a female. I like the fact that they are usually bigger. @ Paul, Do these frogs get darker green as they age? I would also like to thank everyone for the fast responses.
