I wondered. The blue almost looked luminescent.

Still a stunning frog though!

it looks to me more that a flash was used to take the picture thus illuminating the pupil and causing the "blue" refraction of light from moisture on the rock. I think it is completely possible that this frog actually looks like that. But who knows. None of us took the picture

To the "elite" 007 frogers on here, do you have any suggestions or knowledge of books that deal with these rare species specifically O. histrionicus, O. lehmanni ,studies, journals with pictures info of various locals etc?

To be honest, if it's the patterning you like, you could legally have it...

I guess the Auratus varieties will have to do, huh?

They are beautiful...
