This is one of my CB Bombina bombina the orange coloration of the ventral surface is quite different to the Wild caught.

This is the Wild Caught Bombina bombina, note the deeper orange on the ventral surface.

The top one I have had for 4 years, the bottom one is out of 2 groups I got earlier this year.

Lovely toads, Have you ever tried feeding colour enhancers or bloodworm?

[pollywog]

Hi Killian,
I did not use colour enhancers with these toads but I have used them other species.

Hi Andy,
Thats a Bombina bombina.
I would be amazed if it is larger than in that pic as she's about 12cm on my screen.
This is one of my WC females, the 2 above are both male.

yep, it looks quite like your female. Poor things got to live on its own, as i dont want any hybrids.
It a cute lill thing though.
