Oriental Fire-bellied Toad (Bombina orientalis)

jdf · #1 (**permalink**) 14-02-2008, 02:43 PM

As I have mentioned before, I have 2 FBT's, they are young & small (not quite an inch long yet).
They are different colour:

As you can see this one is green with a small amount of brown patches
but the other is quite brown.....

I was wondering, is the bottom one a Russian Golden form, as shown on
www.pollywog.co.uk: Oriental Fire-bellied Toad (Bombina orientalis) Care Sheet
or will it turn green as it gets older.

Any ideas?
Cheers

You get all sorts off colours from bright green to dark brown, in each form so they might be from the same place,.

I have 3 green and 1 brown...the brown one has stayed brown from been a baby so I would think yours would too!

Mine vary greatly in colour from dark brown to lime green.
Your brown one is a bit too dark to be a russian, I have one and he is a much lighter/brighter brown.
