    Other warszewitschii. Hope this one is a female (Although I will have to wait about a year to be able to reproduce them)

    Pez:

    I really like your photos. Thanks

    I found some information about these frogs you might be interested in. I also understand that the species was transferred from Lithobates back to Rana in 2007.

    Thanks . Amphibiaweb has good info but what I like the most are the maps because it gives a general idea of where I can find the frog. I love the INBio page, has info on most of costa rica's flora and fauna. I have the updated list of the scientific names of Costa Rican frogs, and is actually called Lithobates, but thanks.






    Don't worry about the page being in spanish, because spanish is my first language and then comes english

    Thanks, Pez. I really admire that you are taking a great interest in frogs and toads. Since you are younger than I am, I will let you learn all the new names

    It's still Rana to me. Lithobates is OK too.

    It's all Rana to me. (My old posts can attest to my distaste for the new phylogenies). This is a really cool species to see in captivity. I'm wondering if you could bring out some of the red coloration on the hind legs by gut loading your food with carotenoids.

    Either way, really cool species.
