They are super variable in color and pattern, but I would say this is a bit of a weird variation, haven't seen one like it before. There are always other characteristics besides color to look at when it comes to amphibians, color is the least reliable! One day I'll make it south and find these guys though :)

Thanks AshleyT - we were leaning that way, but the colours are quite different from the other baudinis we've seen. Do you know if this Is this more of a juvenile colouration, or if it's just a normal variant?
