Default Auratus Morph?

I picked up two of these little guys at the reptile expo in Austin, and besides one dieing the day after I got back, it's been going well. The one I have is eating, and seems to be doing good. But back on topic, what locale do you guys think this might be?

I asked the people, and they said they wasn't forsure.

That is a tough question ..There are so many green and black variations , combine that with the locals,, tough question ! I would venture a guess of Hawaiian with that metallic green hue,, but I'm am just making a guesstimate.

Have You attempted to contact the vendor? I suggest this because they will generally replace frogs that die for no apparent reason. I would be prepared for some questions on your care from purchase to home. Secondly, any reputable vendor will be able to tell you what you bought.

My last thought on your great looking fat froglet.. I know its exiting and all .. but leave it alone .. no handling .. and let it settle in .

Yeah I have already contacted the vender, and they are going to replace the froglet. But yeah I cared for the froglet correctly, so I will gladly tell them the data. On the handling part, I don't handle amphibians, the only contact I have with the frog is when I mist the enclosure, or put some FFs in for it to eat.

Next time I see them I will ask again what locale it is.

Thanks!
