Quoting a recipient of my last group (hi Tim!) "I kid you not, I'm floored by the way these things change colors! Everytime someone comes over I'm like "What color is that? Now look at it from over here! Now look at it from over here!" The reaction is always, "Whoa!"".
I can try to pick probable pairs but these are youngsters.

These are photos of the last round of juveniles from bloodline A - siblings of the frogs currently offered (click to enlarge and unsquish):







Thanks for looking.

John, those are great looking frogs, so tempting. But that would mean another setup. What kind of camera are you using to take those pictures. They're great.

I bought four from his last batch. If you've got the space, got the cash and you've been kicking these guys around, do yourself a favor. PayPal John tonight! You aren't going to find them any cheaper, nor will you receive healthier specimens. Mine are all over the enclosure all day long and have even began gathering in the mornings by the ole watering hole, were fruitflies miraculously drop from the sky. Defenitely some of the coolest frogs I own. Packaging was phenomenal as was John's customer service. Four stars all across the board!

And if the humidity is right in the tank, you'll have cute little foot prints all over the glass in the morning!
Their color is so vivid. Absolutely gorgeous frogs. Although John's photos are flawless, you can not fully appreciate their beauty until you see them in person. All that incredible detail packed into one little bitty vivacious package. I'm immensely grateful that we were able to get them from John!

[John]

Thanks Jeff - I'm glad they're doing well for you . Any photos of them? Their terrarium?

[Jeff Kennedy]

Hey John,

I've taken pictures of the set-up but my junky camera doesn't do it any justice. It is a 20 tall, with a foam, cork tree mold background, a large pothos, a medium bromeliad, piece of mowani wood, natural pond and various levels of substrate depth throughout. I am very pleased with it and they seem to love it so I guess I did ok.

Any calling yet?

[Jeff Kennedy]

If they have I haven't heard it. Ella was asking me the other day if they are mature enough to call. They are I'm guessing? Oh boy, if I end up with eggs, you better be on standby to help guide me through the process

Females will be too young yet to breed - they usually breed no earlier than 6 months. Males can call at half that. So keep an ear out.

Very good tips and advice, John!
