Received 4 of these from Adam last week. They're 10 months oow. I'm very happy with them because of their boldness and the sheer vibrance of the colors. I purposefully designed their terrarium to have a low amount of bright green so that they are easily spotted. I had the pleasure of seeing (and feeding) Ray/Stemcellular's "Highland" variabilis in late 2009 and by comparison the "Southern" race is definitely larger and very bold (and prettier in my opinion).

Notice how the first frog could pass for a CV imitator!

Oh, they move alright. Patience and experience help though. Mind you, these are easy to photograph when compared to wild salamanders (what i spend most of my free time photographing).

Very nice...any chance we can get a FTS, your description of it has me very interested.

I'll try. I'm a little ashamed that the tank isn't very big but it's all I have to hand right now.

im interested in seeing a picture of the "striped" one, if you get the chance!

Stripy is a very jumpy frog. I only photographed it once or twice but I'll put one up. Thanks for these great frogs Adam.

[johnc]

These frogs really are brilliantly colored. Distinctly different from Highland variabilis.

thanks for my new laptop background! incredible frogs and incredible shots man. Good luck with those little jewels!

Dang, John. They are gorgeous. And, I must add that your photography makes every frog look great. You're not photo-shopping a little extra color touch up here and there, are you? JK You could make prints on canvas and offer them for sale. I bet there'd be a lot of takers.
