Hi everyone,
Even though this is a Caudata forum I thought I would post a thread up of one of my latest additions to my collection.
Anyway, these are my Malaysia/Asian Painted Bullfrogs (Kaloula pulchra) pair which are sexed based on Sexual Dimorphism (size differences and colouration). They are a shy species obviously and are very Nocturnal in their general behavior and rarely if ever see them out and about during the day period. The Male I have heard calling a lot since I got them both and he has been hanging around the water bowl so I am tempted to provide them with a Rain Chamber earlier than planned just to see what happens.
Bit of information about the species: Is 1 of 14 species of the Kaloula genus (members of the Microhylidae family). The Malaysian Painted Bullfrog is in fact widely distributed in it's natural occurrence range and is mainly collected for both Consumption and the Pet Trade, where it is widely and commonly kept in the hobby. they have been evaluated as "Least Concerned" by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2009
This is the Female individual © 2013:
Female again out about about very late at night - assume hunting as they both feed really well ©
The male in their water bowl, he makes it so messy after hes been in it a while ©
Anyway thank you for reading my thread!!
