Captain Soup Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 iv got 6 southern bells in a all natural viv, 5.0 Uvb bulb. happy frogs good appetite, even have the ocasional go at my finger. some shy some not... the question is.. 90% of the time they are a very dark brown, almost black colour. which sucks because when they do light up shall we say, they all have very nice colouring and patterns.. what could the cause o this be? they show off their coulours especially, but not only, when i put them outside in the rain in a tank full of grass.. some pics....

Squirt Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 To my understanding is that they change to blend into the environment. Or change depending on their mood. Maybe add more bright green flora if you want them greener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Soup Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Another Q. what sort of temps do people have in their frog enclosures? i dont heat my tank, but it seems to linger around the 22 degrees mark, which i think might be a tad hot? i know i dont like that much heat...

spoon Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 they shed their skin from time to time, they end up looking quite dirty and the white on their belly isnt clean then all of a sudden they are clean and bright again . perhaps you have seen them doing it they end up eating most of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 in regards to colour. i think mood, sunlight and possibly even diet has a part to play and in that order. Hardly ever look as good indoors as they do outdoors.. could try feed it some greenery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1kDJkU99_Q&feature=plcp&context=C34cc991UDOEgsToPDskLZaemZfvpLb65bhqUoyGAw :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
