Default Vietnamese Mossy Frogs, from tadpole to metamorph :)

I thought it was about time I shared a few of the wonderful pics on my harddrive!

I've managed to get some great pics of Theloderma corticale at various stages, they're a deservingly admired and unique species

Here's the lovely adults that did all the hard work in the rainchamber
Male


Female


Female



Then there were these! Quite a large number in the end and they hatch fairly rapidly, this species is all about gear changes, fast to hatch, ultra slow tadpole stage, super slow metamorphosis and then incredible rapid growth, they reach maturity within a year of metamorphosis!















Cheers!

great photos i think these frogs look gargoylee if that make any sence. Saw one for the first time in a local rep store, they were surprisingly big thought they would be small for some reason.
