CB Wallaces Flying Froglets (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus)
Named after naturalist Alfred R. Wallace Adults get up to 10 cm long and females are noticeably larger than males . Their dorsal (top) surface is a vibrant, shiny green, while their undersides and inner thighs are bright yellow.Their defining feature is their extremely large hands and feet . The webbing between their toes is jet-black at the base and bright yellow toward the edges.
Originally from Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo but these are CB in North America .
This is the rarer and larger species of flying/gliding frog compared to the more common but still rare Reinhardt flying frog which are smaller and often wild caught. Due to size and care need these are a mid to advanced keeper frog.
These are Captive-Bred and hence the higher price as WC frogs almost always do poorly and die shortly after and this is even more true of the flying frogs as wild animals rarely take crickets or other feeders.These are also an option for B.C. buyers looking for a legal large tree frog where most large tree frogs are restricted( banned in B.C.).
We are importing from the US and and will be releasing a limited number for mid/late July arrival. Animals listed price includes animal costs/ import fees/shipping fees to Canada, but excludes shipping from BC to customers location( closest depot) which will show at checkout when you enter your address .
