Dyed Frog?

Black! I think? Something fairly dark. Is this uncommon for albinos, as his coloration is looking more to be like one.

My albinos had black eyes as well but when you flash a cam on them it shows red @_@

If the pupils are black then it is not an albino. Albino's lack the pigment melanin so they can not produce black. Albino's generally have red/pink eyes.

You probably have an ACF similar to my 'albino' he is rather golden/yellow with black pupils. When I saw a true albino ACF in a pet store for the first time I realized my ACF was not a true albino either. There is a lot of variation in 'albino' ACF, true albino,leucistic, golden, ect..

Yeah you guys must have dyed frogs or leucistics.

My frog is not dyed. I would not purchase a dyed frog, I've seen dyed frogs sold in stores and it's sad. I always make a point when I see dyed ACF in the store that I would have purchased it, if it were NOT a dyed frog but I doubt they care. I still voice my opinion though.

Yeah, neither pet stores I go to even sell ACFs. Some sell ADFs, but over-all the staff seems to know even less than I know, which is VERY sad when I start correcting them. Especially considering my limited knowledge! But perhaps I should consider that they are more used to fish, not frogs, save for one employee who's shift I can never catch.

I am still shocked/surprised a dollar store, not pet store, was even allowed to sell these little babies. Unfortunately, I didn't even stop to think that one of them was dyed, just that "well, they like companions, so I am going to save two from this hell-hole." Luckily both are healthy! Cecil is even getting the hang of catching food, where Carlos just kind of eats everything in there path.

It is rather cute to watch them hang out together/lay on top of each other.

That probably explains why one of my acf is light yellow in color and the other one is slightly pinkish. They were not dyed though.

The same thing happens to me. Visibly, they look dark, but with a camera or anything else bright they look more red. But perhaps that's just similar to the red glare people get in their eyes during photos.
