hi everyone, was reading through some of the old posts and saw there are a few debating the "blue" phase australian whites vs the green PNG. i thought poeple might find it interesting to know that there are in fact more than one colour form of whites in australia, and they are notably different. those from the east are the well known blue phase. they have a blue undertone and pink thighs. western whites from the kimberly lack the blue undertone, insteed having a more yellow to orange tone, with bright orange thighs and armpits. interestingly this is also found in the very similar splendid tree frogs also found in the kimberly (see third pic). ive posted some pics of frogs from my collection to demonstrate (unfortunaly the one of their thighs was taken when they were just out of hibernation so the colours arnt as bright as usual, but you get the idea
