Albino aquatic frogs

[tgampper]

Hi Angus:

Welcome to Frog Forum. To answer your question about clawed frogs. Like John said, albinos are extremely rare in the wild. The only albinos available in the U.S. that I know of are lab bred and are Xenopus laevis (common platanna).

Mozambique has two species of Xenopus: X. laevis and X.muelleri. You can tell them apart by looking at their subocular tentacle (below the eye). Looking at the picture above, X.laevis is on the left, X. muelleri is on the right (the tentacle is much longer). The care is the same. Let us know if you have any questions!
