New Baby Blue!

@ Don: Haha yep, as soon as he's big enough that is. XD I want to avoid that "frog-eat-frog" situation at all costs. >>

@ Spankyg: Thanks, I found him stunning when I pulled him out of that tank. As soon as I held him in my hand I knew I couldn't leave without him. ^ ^ And that's kinda funny, at first I was planning on getting three or more White's and I was going to name them (in order) Bruce Campbell (check), Bruce Wayne (check), Bruce Willis, and Bruce Lee. XD Now I find I don't really have the room for all four unfortunately, but these two will do just fine for now. ^ ^

@ Eric: Thanks Eric! Actually I think this is going to be it for the Bruce's, at least for a little while. With ordering my P. Tomopterna my house is gonna be full of frogs!

@ Cheri: I picked out his name a LONG time ago. XD Back in December before I even got the first Bruce. This little guy is christened Bruce Wayne! We're going to be referring to them by their last name's to avoid confusion. Campbell and Wayne...Wayne...Campbell. Has anyone else seen Wayne's World? >> Haha XD

@ Ebony: Thanks Ebony I'm really excited. ^ ^

And now picture time!





I took these this morning, I had to wake him up but it was totally worth it. ^ ^ Look at that beautiful blue color! I can't believe I was so lucky. XD

Amazing, he's actually really blue.. and he's got that big white mark on his shoulder(or is that just his stomach?),, either way.. no doubt one of the best looking Whites I've seen Brit.

Isn't he!? It was pure luck that I found him hiding behind that other baby white's in the box. Thank you so much! I'm really stoked that I actually FOUND him, I'm still a little amazed that he is this blue and healthy looking, seeing the state of some of the other animals in that store...>> Yeah that white mark extends from his ear to his arm and isn't a part of his stomach. It tripped me out at first because I'd never seen it on a white's before, but it really makes his color stand out. ^ ^

Oh I am so jealous! He is so cool! I have to get a blue one haha, I have two whites myself, neither are blue...both are cute though...but I want a blue to add a little more "exoticness" to my frog family, haha. How do they end up blue? Is it just a genetic thingy?

I heard somewhere (sorry I don't remember the exact source) that the blue coloration comes from a regular green White's that is missing the yellow pigment in it's skin that makes it green. So a green White's is just a blue White's with the yellow pigment, if this theory is true. You do have to breed them specially, which is why they're hard to find. It was pure luck that I picked him up when I did. XD

And thanks for the compliment, I'm really excited about this. I had nearly given up on blue, since no breeders I found online carry them and they're harder to find than most frogs. Just keep your eyes open and you'll find one eventually. They're quite beautiful.

More pictures! I'm gonna beat this dead horse. XD







You can really see his blue coloration in these shots, and his pretty golden eyes stand out perfectly against the color of his skin. ^ ^

The top two shots are him in my boyfriend's hand and the bottom one is me holding him. He hadn't gotten a good look at him yet so I cheated and let him hold him for a little while, but I promise to leave him alone from now on! ><

If you don't mind my asking how's it eating?
