So this little guy morphed out looking a little bit different than his siblings (notice the almost translucent legs).



I assumed that those legs would gain some color as the frog aged...I was wrong, here he is at 4 months OOTW

Wow that is pretty unique. Never seen one look like that before. It almost looks like a really blue Uyama.

i suggest that we call this mutation "khaki". sort of like a blue jeans, but not quite as *******.

or maybe "the emperor's new britches" morph?

Can you post a pic showing the frog top view?

Yes please.

Look very small for 4 mo OOW. Sure that isnt weeks? or it might be stunted as part of the 'syndrome' that left it with the odd coloring....

more pictures might explain better.

I sure hope he is not stunted. He crawled ootw on August 1st along with 2 others (both of which have the standard dark blue coloration with a lighter underside). They are all just over 1/2 the size of the adults which I thought was right on track for 4 months ootw. I will take some more photos in a couple days so you all can tell me what you think.

I never thought of it before, but blue jeans do have red necks. Maybe we should start calling them ********? Besides, we need more common names. It's tough pronouncing all these scientific names or names of places in Spanish. It's all Greek to me...

^^ no, just looks by the pic I guess, Im sure fine, esp if the other 2 are same sized....Its an odd color for sure though.

Different color, but they remind of the that freaky translucent effect on some Quinquevittatus legs.
