Can't figure out what to breed it back try another frog of the opposite sex, it won't matter. If it's a simple recessive trait and the other don't show it at all, then breed it to another but after that breed the offspring back to it. This should produce a 50/50 clutch if it's a simple recessive trait. 50/50 = 50% normals and 50% whatever the trait is for.
You ppl do whatever you want, I started this thread long long ago and I can see that it past it's prime and needs to go the way of the Floppy drive.
OMG what part do you not understand. First off I am not dude.
Do I need to speak slower and use smaller words?
When a tad sprouts white legs from a white body I THOUGHT it was an albino. Thought being the key word there. Try to follow along. Albino = white.
When I say "thought" I meant it. I did not mean that he was going to change colors. I "thought" he was going to continue to morph out being all white ( which is not what happened)
See the spots on his legs. Those have just showed up in the past 2-3 weeks.
The bigger he got he developed color. Which makes him not an albino. See I do know what an albino is. DEVELOPED COLOR. Have you never heard of that happening?
Frogs are not like snakes and lizards. You get to see them develop. not watch an egg and see what comes out. Is that the part you do not understand.
You mean if he is a male I have to breed him to a female. You don't say.
I have been breeding frogs ( darts and trees) for about 5 years now. I know not a long time. I don't work with zoo or importers. I do it all on my own. So the dime a dozen comment was a little off.
What are you breeding currently?
Now to work on the darn white avatar... this may take some thinking.

Then take a picture and Voila! New avatar.

Good thinking...
And then I could have that white avatar. Might be two years down the road but I am sure I can find this thread again.

My bad, Ms., Miss or Mrs.,
Do I need to speak slower and use smaller words?
Oh please do, because unless these tads are super small when they hatch and even if they are they have eyes and or the eyes open prior to sprouting legs, correct?, then all one need do is look at the eyes - if they aren't pinkish-red it ain't an Albino regardless of what color the rest of it's body is. Do I need to say this slower or use smaller words or type larger?

No you didn't (THOUGHT). Don't you remember making this statement back in post #65 "I am pretty sure he is not albino. Although he is pretty small i dont think his eyes are red". No red or pinkish-red eyes then it's not an Albino, regardless of whatever the rest of the body turns out like, even with such animals as the Paradox Boas which have patches of dark to black pigmentation on them, there eyes are pinkish-red so they're still classified as Albinos. Your the one that needs to try an follow along, you don't remember statements that you yourself made.
When I say "thought" I meant it. I did not mean that he was going to change colors. I "thought" he was going to continue to morph out being all white (which is not what happened) - See above.

. DEVELOPED COLOR. Have you never heard of that happening?
Paradox boas have coloration or dark pigmentation, and they have pinkish red eyes which is why they are referred to have "Paradox ALBINO Boas". Color is not what makes your Frog not an Albino, it's the fact it doesn't have pinkish-red eyes.
Frogs are not like snakes and lizards. You get to see them develop. not watch an egg and see what comes out. Is that the part you do not understand.
When did I say what I've kept, bred or collected? And I probably have kept and bred just as many Frogs as you, maybe more. Actually I can say without reservation that I have kept more Dendrobatidae than most people.
You mean if he is a male I have to breed him to a female. You don't say.
No, actually I didn't say, but if you wanna be a smart-mule, that's fine with me.

Actually I was making that statement to rmorse, in response to him/her stating that you or he/her was a breeder. Everyone thinks he/she is a breeder. Anyone that has ever bred something in this Hobby/Industry thinks they're a breeder. I would say that more than one third of sellers at all shows purchase there stuff from Importers and sell them as CB or CH, and others purchase stock from people that did breed them and sell them as there own, can you pick out which one they are?, probably not.

Now to work on the darn white avatar... this may take some thinking.
Currently hmmmmm,...... Boids (oh wait I don't breed them here anymore there on breeding loans, I just reap the rewards), Rhynchophis boulengeri (actually just rearing right now), Heterondon N. Nasicus (Albino), Trachemys Scripta Elegans (Albino), and I'm thinking about doing Megophrys nasuta again since I have a leaker 180gal tank available now, but I would really love to get a hold of a few juvinile/sub-adult Birgus Latro (They are just the coolest things and there edible but they do better in cages than tanks). And a few other items I don't wish to mention here right now. Plus in past years I have kept enough stuff to fill a small Zoo, minus the Lions, Tigers, Bears and Elephants that is.
Round 3.
The tads are about 1/8 inch long so yes they are tiny. It does make it hard to see their eyes. Small enough that you could not really tell what color the eyes were. All I was able to tell was that his eyes were not the normal black color that they should have been.
After he sprouted legs and grew enough to really tell he was not an albino I knew he was not. I do not actually know what he is. Sorry if that makes me inferior to you.
When I say THOUGHT he was an albino I meant it. At that point in his development I THOUGHT he was albino. And I completely understand to be an albino the frog needs to have red eyes. It took quite a while to get to the point where you could actually tell what color his eyes were going to be. The last thing I wanted to do was take him out of the tank, stress him, and examine up close the color of his eyes.
I think you may be taking things too literal here.
You never did say what you kept, bred, collected. Only that you had access to a large collection. Not that you owned one only that you had access to a large collection.
Kept and bred just as many, maybe more than me... That is fine with me. What have you bred and what kind of darts have you kept and bred? Just curious there maybe after all the BS is done and over with you will realize that I am not that bad of a person and we can talk frogs. If not that is fine as well.
actually as for picking out who actually breeds what at shows. I probably can. But only the couple shows that I have been doing for the last couple of years. Not all shows. And that is only because I have been doing them and got to know the people, not that I am a so called expert.
When it comes to frogs though yeah there is a pretty good chance I can figure out if they bred it, bought it, imported it.
I have not kept enough stuff to fill a small zoo. I have no desire too. I enjoy working with I work with and dont need to have all kinds of different animals to care for.

Kearth and Tequilla, get a room or get over it, seriously. and lets see some more pics. i will try to get some from work. Would a green hypo ball python make the cut? hypo is similar to albino....
