New Arrivals!

[Kisa]

Hey everyone, now I know this is sudden but...has anyone ever heard of a blue-eyed White's? >>

Yeah...I hadn't either.





Yeah, I didn't believe it at first either, but these guys both have blue eyes!

Our moderator, bshmerlie and I had been talking for a few weeks over the phone when she found an advertisement for these guys on Kingsnake. She texted me and I checked it out, and we both decided we'd like one of these rare blue-eyed morphs. The guy, it turns out, wasn't too far away from us, so we got in touch and went and picked them up today, and they're just what we expected (we were a little skeptical at first). She came and picked me up this morning bright and early and we drove from my place and hour and a half to a Barnes and Noble in Escondido to make the trade. They're C.B. froglets, and the guy said he'd been working on this project for two years and that their eyes will get bluer as they get older. I'm really satisfied with what we got, and Cheri was nice enough to pick me up and drive me all the way out there to set them up at my place. She picked up a misting system for their thirty gallon tank (which I was planning on keeping my future Red Eyes in, but for now it'll do as a temporary for these guys) and two plants for them to hang out on. She'll be back in a few months to pick up her little guy, but for now he's all mine. ^ ^

I'm going to post the guy's ad on kingsnake once I can get my internet to open the page, but for now here's his website.

For now, please welcome Bruce Willis (the orange one, mine of course) and Paul Newman (Cheri's little green, poking his head between the stalks in the second picture). There'll be more pictures to come in both of our albums I'm sure, so keep checking if you wanna see more!

[bshmerlie]

Its hard to tell in the pictures but their eyes are freaking cool. Once they've settled in maybe Paul Newman will come out and flash his baby blues at us.

Well congratulations to both of you! Again, great name, Kisa. Next in line should be Bruce Dickinson...

Cheri, it was very nice of you to drive Brit.

Can't wait to see more of these. I'll go and take a look at the link you have posted.

Cheri, it was very nice of you to drive Brit.

Well...anything I can do to help feed the frog obsession of other members.

[clownonfire]

Good to know. I have lots to do, so grab a plane. We'll be waiting for you with a to-do list!

[poison beauties]

They are nice frogs but not sure they were worth what he wanted for them. Kind of like asking $250 for a three legged tree frog. Now that its popular tomorrow there will be more of them much cheaper.

You bought these from Philippe de Vosjoli? Or am I missunderstanding something here?

[poison beauties]

your right, these came from Philippe at GiantGecko.com

He's got some nice stuff. One of the only people breeding albino bulls too and that is very wierd speaking I sold 1700 froglets 5-6 years back.

Congrats to both of you, they look pretty cute. The froggy road trip sounds like it was cool too, so that's good Looking forward to more pictures

[Leefrogs]

that's awsome, I'm a sucker for blue!!

[Leefrogs]

and I wanted to say I'm getting agalychnis annae by in a couple days too. Great minds think alike!! Who else getting new frogs ? I'll make sure to post my yellow eyes!!!

[lnaminneci]

Congrats Cheri and Brit!!!

Beautiful frogs! Gorgeous! I bet you guys had alot of fun on the roadtrip, Sounds a bit like Thelma and Louise froggie style!

Enjoy, Bruce Willis and Paul Newman! Love the names! lol

@Cheri: I forgot to say above that yeah, with the lighting and the angle these pictures don't do their eye colors justice, they really looked blue in the sunlight when we got first looks.

@Eric, Unclechester: Thanks so much guys, I'm really proud of my new editions. I hope their eyes only get bluer! I'll try to post more pics once these guys settle in, they've had a rough time and I want to make sure they're comfortable before I start throwing them around and snapping photes in their eyes. But you know me, my albums should be bursting full within the month!

@Ginger: I know you love blue, you're the first person I thought of when Cheri texted me that these guys had blue eyes. I thought "Wouldn't Ginger love a blue phase with blue eyes." ^ ^ Oh please take a bunch of pictures of your new yellow eye!!!! I can't wait to see what he or she looks like and the tank you have set up for it! Make sure to post a thread with arrival pictures so we can all get a good look at your new editions!

@Lesley: I love the Thelma and Louise comment, what do you think about that Cheri? Yeah we drove all around Escondido causing trouble, it was wild! >> Naaaah...just kidding, but it was a great frog adventure. As soon as these guys settle in I'll be taking LOADS of pictures I promise you! Just check out my album now, and imagine four times the amount I have now and that'll be what you'll see in the next few months. XD

[Leefrogs]

ya I checked alblums right away, tisk tisk... Cheri, no photos!!

I've seen a couple pictures in WTF books. And I love the blue/ish of your tigers and now this tops it off. Mine will just have blue sides and feet. I was wanting somethibg rare kibda too. I think the annae was on johns wish list you did a while back.

I'm going to have to look into some albinos way after I get a big 100 gal done for the whites I have now. Blues are so in, you should see how rare true blue is in flowers also. I've got quite a collection of blue outside also. Check this, a cold tolerant blue hybiscus!!! I'll take pictures of my annae on that this summer. Blue, blue, everwhere !!!

[bshmerlie]

Yes I totally agree it was definately great fun. Besides my eight year old daughter I've never hung out with someone and just did frog stuff. It may sound silly but just going to Home Depot and walking around looking at plants and discussing our options that was fun. I usually do that by myself. And we went to LLL Reptile and looked at frogs and other supplies. Walking around like kids in a candy store checking out all their frogs and talking about what our next frogs will be. And then going home washing our plants and setting up the tank. Like I said I am usually doing those things by myself so being able to share that with someone equally frog crazy was an adventure.

As far as Phillipp goes he has a nice photo on Kingsnake of his frogs and he delivered. His frogs were as described and they look stunning. We were both really worried that we'd drive all that way and then be disappointed by the frogs. But as soon as we saw them we looked at each other with a smile and said "we'll take them." By the way we didn't pay full price by any means. No.... we didn't pay $2 a piece for them...but like I always tell people buy captive bred from the breeder and you're less likely to have health problems with your frogs. In the long run I think we got a good deal because Phillippe delivered what we were expecting. Now Kisa just needs to take the Uncle Chester photography class and get some good photos of Bruce and Paul.

[Grrrit]
