New Arrivals!

I've seen some photos on google of albino red eyed tree frogs. Some look pale green, some look yellow, some look that albino colour but it's hard to say if it is true albino or just something else?

Lor, Ihave only ever seen albino Red Eyes or Horned Frogs (Pacmans). There is another morph in Red Eyes called "Xanthic" as well. But I have never seen or heard of another species that possesses a successful albino gene.

My next frogs will be Red Eyes, hopefully one of each kind. ^ ^

I'm not sure if this would be a similar thing or not...

Albino horses are not common either. Most "white" horses are actually gray. They have to have all pink skin to be called white, most white haired horses still have gray skin. Some "white" (which they now call cremello) horses have blue eyes. It is very rare to see one that has pink eyes. I am pretty sure the pink skin, pink eyes is the true albino. Maybe it's like that for frogs too? They could look albino but with the blue eyes, making them not exactly albino?

A thought anyways.

Edit: Ok I'm a bit off on that lol. I'm not sure if horses can even get pink eyes. But there's still different variations of whites/grays/cremellos.

They are out there. Off the top of my head I remember seeing bullfrogs, clawed frogs, pacific chorus frogs, green tree frogs, several darts (though they seem to be weak and short-lived), Woodhouse's toads, and firebellies.

Of course Tony, those completely slipped my mind. XD Sorry.

I didn't know about the AGTFs though, that's some good information.

And Lor, thanks for the info about the horses. Not sure that frogs and horses could share any traits when we're talking about geneology, but that information is good to have anyway. I really didn't know that about the "white" horses, but I suppose their skin situation is very close to those of dogs and cats.

That would be my guess. It may also be a trait common to the blue-eyed morph, from the few pics I have seen they seem to be lighter than a typical White's.

Yeah I have noticed little Paul has sort of a muted color when compared to other green White's as well. This morning he was a grey blue. I'm seeing these frogs as more pastel colored than the other White's I have come into contact with. Very beautiful and unique looking color.

I may give the breeder a call, you're absolutely right about that he would hopefully know anything about color...thanks for the tip. XD It should have been obvious, duh.

I wasn't sure if they'd share the same traits or not but that's about all I know on abnormal white colouration lol.
