More than like Citronella Tinctorius.

Outside chance it's a Sip? I'm not big on Tincs so I could be wrong.

Thanks! Do you know if they are available in the trade? How much are they, generally?

Do a search on them - you'll see them mentioned quite often.

Sips and Cits are likely in th 50/60 range for froglets - but like I said, I'm not a Tinc person so I'm likely not the best person to ask!

Just took a quick look at Classifieds - I see none for sale at the moment.

Get your tank ready and place an ad in the Wanted section or wait for what you want to come across the For Sale section.

Thats not a citronella, they rarely, if ever, have more than one or two large black spots on their back, and the color is wrong. This is definately a sip, looks like a lime green/yellow/green sip... there is a whole complex of sip tincs and the color really depends on the camera. The frog pictured looks to be a juvie, here's a nice pic of what they look like as an adult:

More yellowish
More greenish like the other picture

sean stewart has pics of yellow sips on his site....and the 3 yellow sips i have look like that frog, but that pic has a wierd tint to it so its kinda hard to be 100%

Yeah, the weirdish greenish tint was what clued me in that it wasn't a cit originally, then I compared pattern. The frog has a greenish tint you see in some yellow highlighters...

T&C Terrariums, which is where the two pics I linked are from, was saying these lime green sips bred true (where the others ranged from green to blue) yet I don't think I've ever seen a lime green sip. I'm guessing the yellow sips are part of the "lime greens" but I really haven't seen much of either. I believe the "green leopard" tincs that patrick has on his site might be some of the lime greens? They sure look like it!

The lime greens are supposed to often morph out yellow collored, but then go Green as they mature, the yellow sips breed true and hold the yellow throughout. Then tint in that pic is probably more a result of the camera and/or lighting then the actual frog coloration.
