Finally, I have something to submit! So without further ado (whatever ado is) I give you the red-banded rubber frog.

...without further ado (whatever ado is) ...

Ado is like wasting time, or going to work

You have a camera now? Like your picture, Are there any pure black frogs? maybe with red eyes?

[Kurt]

I borrowed a camera. I don't know of any frog that is black with red-eyes. I know a snake like that, but no frogs. Here's what the red-banded rubber frogs look like from a different angle.

Centrolene ilex

Nice picture! Are glass frogs available in the pet trade?

[Kurt]

True glass frogs like Centrolene ilex? No, not really. There are a few Hylids that are sold under the name glass frogs but they are not realy true glass frogs. Not even close.

I saw some glass frogs at Black Jungle last June, they are truly translucent. The species I saw was Hyalinobatrachium valerioi. They weren't for sale, they were attempting to breed them for the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

Thanks a lot Alex. Not I have to vote for your pic instead of my own.

[Ebony]

Wow Alex, Amaizing..The eyes are amaizing. Is this your frog? Your photography is awesome.

[Kurt]

Alex took that picture in Costa Rica.

[tylototriton]

I've really pulled out all the stops. Like Kurt said, this was taken in Costa Rica, i'm not sure if there are many, if any, Centrolene ilex in captivity.
