Has anyone seen a blue colored Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana)or grylio and heckscheri.Thanks,pics if you got'em.I'd like to breed them to my albinos.

Yes, Lisa has a sexed pair of them. They are extremely rare. I will find some pics of them for you. Where did you get the albino bullys from, Ed?

Thanks,not to many people have seen them.I read about some found in the wild in Il.One person sent me a pic last year of one that was two tone,blue and yellow!Wild!I have been breeding them for years.The organals were bought at the Daytona Expo around 2000 and i've had others going back 15 yrs or more.I,ve got tadpoles growing now from last years eggs.The albino adults are some of the most unreal frogs Ive ever seen.When I say unreal I mean EVERYONE that sees them in the outside pond thinks their fake rubber frogs.Thanks look forward to the pics.Vic Morgan

Why would you want to breed your albinos to the blues? i'm assuming the albino gene is recessive and the blue is line bred? if so you will just get hets and then you will have to breed some of the offspring back to the parents or some of your other breeders. Am I missing something here?

I'm hopeing its recessive.The only way to tell is to breed them,see what you get then breed some more.I suspect a white or maybe pink offspring.Not a lot of color morph breeding going on with frogs in general.I would say, it would be hard to improve on the yellow albino's I have now. Also albinos are invasive species proof as they would never make it in nature,with the yellow "eat me" skin. Vic

Hmm...well I am unsure of your genetic reasoning but I guess the only way to find out is to test it. Good luck.

"humm I am unsure" yep I'd go along with that.Vic

Sorry it took so long to reply. Here are a couple of links to the blue I was speaking of. She now has two of them.
