New retic group

[rcteem]

I worked out a trade so I could get a new retic group with another member in the hobby. Here they are:










The group is 4 retics...Now before I show everyone this 4th frog hear me out. In no way do I plan on line breeding this frog or ever keep it in a group with another one like it. I do not view this as line breeding and can not see the need to cull it either. I understand that if it was in the wild it would not live. However, this frog wasn't born in the wild so I see no reason not to care for it just because its an "odd ball" dart frog.

Stunning frogs Chris. I'm jealous! What kind of morph do you reckon the odd one is? Looks either albino or hypomelanistic to me. Usually genes like this raise their heads when a little bit of inbreeding goes on. I suspect whoever bred these had a small founder gene pool. A little of inbreeding isn't a terrible thing so don't take that as a criticism! Are these Understory Enterprises line or Sean Stewart's European imports? I've been very tempted by these guys on a few occasions. Have you seen the striped morph of R. reticulata?

It is albino...As far as inbreed I would be surprised if that was the case...I got them from Adam Butt. Im waiting to hear what line they are...UE's line has been producing a lot of albinos though...well at least a few...lol
