Hi Jen:

Really love your borealis. People say they are the most colorful of Xenopus, do you agree?

[Jenste]

borealis have definitely become my favorites. the female I have has spotting all over her tummy (she is the one in the picture above) and the male only has spotting on his hind legs and just the very bottom of his stomach.

he is a little ham - he is still somewhat small and latches on to every frog in the tank and does his VERY loud clicking all night. we really like him - he is just a character!

hopefully I will be able to mate them come early spring

Your borealis is beautiful! I can't take any babies, but I'd love to see pictures!

thank you!! she is my favorite little darling - - named her Aurora (aurora borealis... get it? lol) because she is just so colorful. her male is named Boris - it seemed to fit his character!


I can't wait until they are mature enough to breed - - i have a feeling her offspring are going to be lovely!
