Pay attention Hypos do not work either.
No need for the get a room comment. As Longboard said I really don't need a pimp.
Granted we are going back and forth with the occasional jab but we are not going for each others jugulars.
You really can just scroll right past the comments and move on to pics.

Hmmmm.......... since I actually started this thread, that kinda makes it my room already! To answer your question though I do believe the title of this thread still is " WHITE IS BEAUTIFUL... SHOW ME YOUR ALBINO'S". And the last time I checked Hypos aren't related to Albinos. Hypos are a dominate trait, while Albinism is a recessive trait. So to simplify the answer, No please don't post a pic of a hypo here.
Now if you please I gotta get back to Preparing for round 4.
kearth;3457716; said:Round 3. Round 4.
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.
Could be, I've been know to be set in my ways a bit.
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. Hmmmmm.
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.
If only to fill the void of your curiousity, see below...........
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. Hmmm... expert, hmmmmm sorry don't know many of them either.
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. Hmmmm.
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. Huh, wha, oh I see that's not real english is it, ok you caught me off guard there for a sec
If after looking through the list of animals I have collected and bred or tried to breed, you aren't able to figure out that I have been in the hobby/trade for quite some time, well............ what can I say.

You used to be able to import them or purchase them from an importer, I have never seen then in petshops for sale just @ a few wholesalers / importers many years back though. Though I believe last year or the year prior I purchsed a few what looked like Jumbo Moon Crabs or maybe they were Cardisoma guanhumi @ a local fruit market, any how they sure tasted good.

HELLBENDERS = Haven't been able in the pet trade for approx 25+ years. I know of knowone breeding either, though the state of Florida has some sort of giant Salamander thing in there water system, I once witnessed someone reel one in - butt Ugly. Wholesalers back then would keep them in wet news paper in the veggy section of a refrigerator as long as they didn't dry out they were fine. They would go into a state of hibernation.
For a little background on Hellbenders see: http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7160.html
As for the Historionicus, don't hold your breathe chances there not available anymore unless you find a breeder somewhere, most of the really cool stuff now is a no no, or protected by CITES but only in this free country, everywhere else you can have whatever you want or can afford......... Welcome to America, land of the Free, home of the Brave where everything you want requires either a permit, license, certificate and or all three and each one has a different fee.
kearth;3464654; said:I knew that about the Histos that is why I asked how you had them.
I actually do know two people with them though. Not a talked about alot frog.
Well if you know ppl with them why ask me how? You should then know ppl don't like talking about things, even to ppl they know. This is why good breeders need to know good wholesalers and importers. Sometimes stuff that they never requested ends up in a shipment. Or stuff you wouldn't see at your local pet dealer are at the warehouse. Back in the day, now this is going way back the really big places used to sell to some of the zoos and big collectors so they had alot a strange stuff.
But...
Did you have any luck breeding the milos?
To be honest I'm not into breeding things that small, plus back when I was getting them in we thought there was a endless supply so knowone really was too interested in them at least not me. Even to day I would rather put the effort into larger frogs like: Megophrys nasuta (will probably through a few of these together in my 180gal soon to be terrarium) , Ceratophrys ornata, C. cranwelli, C. cornuta, Dyscophus gueneti and others.
I had and still have a few friends that are still into breeding the small to tiny frogs. I've had a few frogs breed without doing very much at all except tossing them into a well developed terrarium with a good amount of food.
Here's a site with some of the best collection of Albinos & Amelanistic creatures. Nice!, back on topic.
