Whites tree frog is BLACK!

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I don't know what triggered it, but he's back to his old turquoise self again. I've had the female for some time now, and, as it happens, his response to her was actually an immediate attempt to mate even though she's not old enough yet. ;P

Your frogs are beautiful too, by the way! I'm sorry to hear about sHEila... How old was he? Was he already full grown when you got him?
Initially, when I got my male, I'd always wanted a White's Tree Frog for their gorgeous pale green color. But when I saw the pinkish, blue-eyed female about a year ago, I knew I HAD to have her. She's my pride and joy. ^_^

I don't blame you, I would have snatched her up in a heart beat!

Thanks, I love my guys ^_^ I miss sHEila a lot, he was the only one who would "converse" with me *sniff*. All of my original four were juveniles when I got them, Jelly being the youngest, I think Shirley might have been a bit older and Honey and sHEila around the same age. No one ever says how old they are when they come into the store, unfortunately, so don't have an exact age. Martha is our biggest and got her as an older sub-adult. She's probably full adult now, though I bet she can grow bigger-- well I hope she grows longer anyway, she's already big enough around!

Hey, is there anyway you can find out from the pet store who the breeder/supplier was of your female?? Would love to find one like her

That's terrible, so he was still a young one, huh? I guess I lucked out, I got my first at a big box store, and although he's something of a runt (and may be blind in one eye), he seems otherwise quite healthy... He was about the size of a quarter when I got him...

I'll see if I can ask them next time my husband drags me there, but it might be some time; they're in a neighboring city. However, if it helps, here is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tails...10857615635306, and the picture they had posted of the one I bought: https://www.facebook.com/11085761563...43661262354936
I'm not sure how good they are about replying to messages or comments, but they're not a big corporate store to my knowledge, so they may be pretty good about tending to customers on a personal level. You might be able to ask them yourself.

I left a message for them and said high to you on there!

[AyamePasse]

Sweet, hopefully you hear back from them soon! ^_^ I DO know when you're in the store they're very willing to bend over backward in an attempt to find a specific type of critter for you... However, after I bought the female, a month or so later, I tried asking someone if they had any idea of her age (since my male wanted SO badly to mate with her), and they didn't know which animal I was referring to... I may have just talked to someone who wasn't aware that they'd had her; I think they only had her a day or so before I rushed in and bought her. XD

And I meant to type "hi" not "high"! LOL!

Yeah all my babies were youngsters, except for Martha. If you got her a year ago they might not know who the supplier is, unless they use the same one each time? Doesn't hurt to ask though!

[AyamePasse]

I hope they do. They MIGHT know, if I talk to the right person. After all, it's a very small store, one of those that you see the same handful of people working almost every time you go in. So maybe we'll get lucky.

Also, on an unrelated side note, my male frog looks almost RED now. LOL! Another thing I've never seen him do, and he's been croaking every 20 seconds. >.<
