When removed from the cold room (19°C) the
frog was in very light phase. No markings were
evident on the back and the ventrolateral
light bar was barely visible. The throat and
venter were immaculate white. The typical
yellow coloration was present in the groin.
After being for some time in a bottle
on the 14th desk top, the far frog
darkened considerably. Diffuse spots
3 mm in diameter became evident on the
back, and did the dark markings of the
throat and foreleg insertion area.
Dark bars are very evident on the tibia
and femur.
