mixing tree frogs... - Page 4

It was explained to me that mixing frog species can be very problematic in that one species may have developed immunities to certain "illnesses" specific to a geographical area, but be a carrier. If you put them with another species without those developed immunities it can have horrible consequences.

Sadly I do not. It was highlighted in a care book I was reading just before signing up for this forum. I had never seen one before and thought it was one of the most unique and beautiful frogs I'd ever seen. I couldn't think of a name for myself, so I went with, cruziohyla craspedopus, which is not to say that I am at all "unique" or "beautiful."

Do you, by chance, have one? a breeding pair? I think I'd consider swimming "the pond" and smuggling some back if you do!

Take care,
Sean
