Xanthic Barking Tree Frog

[UncleChester]

I believe the term is 'Axanthic', as in missing the xanthin or the yellow pigment. I know there are populations of Rana clamitans​ with this trait that are stable and healthy and the odd Hyla cinerea seems to pop up on the web but I've never seen a blue Barking Treefrog.

Please breed it. I'm not sure anyone bothers breeding Barkers for the pet industry, but it would probably be worth breeding blue ones and I know I'd love to have a few. I'd certainly love the chance to photograph a blue beauty like this.

You are correct, my iPad seems to change it to xanthic. I have been looking at a axanthic as well, hopefully we can get him, too. My friend Jon has a female albino found last year, not far from this axanthic. Snow Barkers are in the future.
