RETF color change...

[Alkaline8214]

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.

Thanks so much. Yeh this morning he was bright green again and ready to sleep lol. Heres a pic of him this morning.... or her lol.

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.

The only clear one I have of his head is this one. Hes sleeping right now so if this picture is not good enough ill take one tonight while hes wide awake.
This is his color today

Glad every things OK Mike. I hope Paul can tell you if you have a male or female.

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.

It is way too young to sex. They stay the same colour as they mature, darkening after dark. I sold six of these last Sunday and traded ten of them today for a female blue dart (and supplies). So Black Jungle has red-eyes for sale.

I need to move, you want a roommate Kurt?

I thought it was wayyyy to young as well. He/she is only 5-6 weeks old. I got him from Joshs Frogs. He seemed like a good person to buy from and packaged the frog VERY well. When I find out the sex you should hook me up with the opposite sex RETF for a good price, . This is my first RETF. Ive kept several green tree frogs found in my area but that is about it. I just recently got some internship money and had to have my dream pet . This thread is all off topic lol. Thanks again to everyone here who has helped me. This is by far the best forum for frog related questions, help, or anything concerning them.

I bought two wc RETF's sub-adults. I say they are both male because they both croak. They change to a dark green at night. But not purple. Just dark green and then light green again when they are sleeping.
