    I have two reticulateds already, one regular reticulated female and one golden reticulated male who I plan on breeding together in the spring. Won't mind another reticulated if thats what this little one turns out to be!

    I'll keep posting pictures of it's growth

    Hi Jen,

    For many years, Xenopus laevis has been used extensively for genetic studies and there is a considerable amount of scholarly work available. Today, it seems that another species, Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis, is at the forefront of genetics. The reason is that tropicalis is smaller and less genetically complex than laevis.

    I haven't been able to find any "Punnett squares" for Xenopus, that will summarize the results of single or multiple trait cross. An interesting genetics site for tropicalis:

    Jen,

    Thanks for sharing. It's really great to see your success with clawed frogs. I hear you ordered some female X. borealis, can't wait to see the new babies!

    What a change 4 weeks makes!!! Now 4 months and about 5 days old....check her out! She is becoming a beautiful reticulated albino!

    Also - check out her size! She and all of her siblings seem to have an accelerated growth compared to the baby ACF I find in petstores

    4 months old and she has already developed a cloaca and her brother (the light marbled) is developing his nuptial pads!!!



    **** Ruler being used is dislaying INCHES ****

    picture 1: reticulated albino in the middle, her brother on the right and my midget male acf on the left - he is almost 13 months old and the 4 month old babies are now slightly bigger than him! (am going to make another thread about him)


    picture 2 - 4 are the reticulated albino




    Picture 5: light marbled brother on left, reticulated albino on right....can you see the brothers developing nuptial pads?




    picture 6: brother and sister, above view
