Malaysian Frogs

[kenya_1977]

Just figured I'd post some pics of the frogs that Marcus imported from Malaysia this week. I think I'm leaving out a few Rhacophorus as well as Rana signata, but this is most of them..

Megaphrys nasuta

Leptobrachium nigrops

Microhyla sp.

Microhyla heymonsi

Nyctixalus pictus

Polypedates leucomastax

Rhacophorus appendiculatus

wow Nyctixalus . What are your experineces with 'em till now?

I recently read a post in the caudata forum of someone who happened upon a montane species of them. I have never heard of them until now.

So far they seem very undistisurbed by the importation and I witnessed at least one of the two eating immediately when I fed last night.

Very nice-

I didn't realize Microhylidae was represented on this shipment. Please, when you set prices let me know.

There were a pair of each species. One pair, Microhyla heymonsi, I'm pretty sure it's male/female - these guys are little. The other Microhyla sp I'm not sure of.

I'll set prices once things get acclimated and can guarantee things are feeding. Keep an eye on the classifieds next week, or PM me.

Oh yeah, microhylids are very cool frogs. Additionally, there are some very cool SE Asian microhylids. One of my favorites is Oerophryne, but there is also a group of Papuan microhylids that have direct development coupled with froglet transport. You know the pictures of male dendrobatid frogs carrying tadpoles around? Well, image a frog carrying tiny froglets around.

I was completely caught off guard on these.It wasnt until I received my Pro forma invoice did I see the other species.Apparently there are a few yet to be,or recently described species coming in next shipment.Maybe Crystal will post a pic of my favorite frog.It was massive and gorgeous.We will be bringing all your eyes can stand in responsible numbers as usual. 8)

Here' you go Marcus. The Rhacophorus nigropalmaltus is healing up nicely and eating like a champ, so I went ahead and took a pic.

Youll be happy to know C,that there about 4-6 coming in on Novembers' shipment,so be ready,and more of the smaller red frog also.That is a great picture of a gorgeous frog.Its hard to tell,but that thing is huge.
