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!
Beautiful pics John......R. variabilis of both varieties are my fav.......Not sure how you get them to sit still for you to take pictures.....You the frog whisperer?
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).
oh man, it really isnt fair to take such great pictures of the frogs i just sent you im interested in seeing a picture of the "striped" one, if you get the chance!
and as others said, im interested in seeing their tank.
Congrats on the beautiful frogs, John! As always, amazing photography! I really NEED to learn how to use my camera! I loved the contrast of colors between the leaf and the target(frog)! Very nice!!!
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.
Would you mind sharing a little info on your camera setup. Right now I can take a better picture with my damn iPhone (of my frogs) than I can with my ?Nikon D70. I know for sure I need a better lense for close ups.
Also definitely very interested in a FTS as well. I always like to see pictures of members vivariums.
john would you happen to have a really high res picture of one of your frogs? like oh maybe... 1366x768 pixels?? mr. stripey is a little fuzzy and pixelated on my computer screen if you did, that would make my day!
