Looks more washed out?!?! The specimens I have here are some of the most intensely colored pumilo I have seen! Just because the blue isn't as blue as you would like doesn't mean it is "washed out". The almirante form are a different form from a different area (different country for that matter). I know you are bent on finding blue jeans....we all are, but until Costa Rica opens back up to having them exported, we will probably not see any more coming in from the wild. You are comparing 2 totally different forms. That would be like comparing the Darklands morph and the Nancy morph. One is solid red and the other is solid blue....does this make either of them 'more washed out'?! Compare a red bastimentos with a green bastimentos...is either of them more washed out that the other? Again the 2 are from different locales and the basis of comparison on coloration is rather absurd. Now, if you were to compare Rob's blue jeans with each other, eg; the top pic and the bottom pic, then you could say that the coloration is a bit washed out or rather faded as the frog in the top image is more vibrant in the red tone while the frog in the bottom image is more faded or 'washed out' as the red is more of an orange. But please, do not compare the coloration of 2 different forms and say one is more 'washed out'...it just doesn't make sense.Arklier said:Hmm. The coloring on the Almirante looks more washed out.
rmelancon said:The color actually varies on individual frogs both in the blue jeans and the almirante. The pix above are of two different animals. The redder one is the female and the orange is the male. The almirante also vary from very deep red to more orange. The leg color can vary as well with some having blueish legs while others are more greenish.
To answer Bill: they have raised several (probably seven or eight) and I've had the bastis raise one. Had a few spindly and the others that looked good just didn't survive long.
I meant the bottom picture (the Almirante) looks more washed out than the other two. Perhaps it was the camera, but it's definitely lighter in tone. I'm not trying to put down peoples' frogs or anything. People like what they like. They are all nice looking frogs.BillJohnson said:Looks more washed out?!?!

Sorry if it seems I am jumping all over you. I'm just trying to clear up any misunderstandings. It seemed to me that your replies were biased against the almirante morph and after reading what Rob posted, your statements didnt really catch. Sorry again.Arklier said:My apologies to the photographer, then.
But geez, you don't have to jump all over my butt.
