Panamanian Green & Black

by Kevin Flanders. Used with permission.

Auratus with a general green and black appearance that were known to be from Panama but lack location or morph data are referred to as ‘Panamanian Green and Black.’ This morph started coming into the hobby during the early 2000’s as part of the farm-raised imports and has subsequently been imported on several occasions. It is likely that these frogs are a lowland morph from areas on the Pacific side of Panama as they differ significantly from the Caribbean morphs such as Bocas and Portobelo. However no location data is known for these auratus. Their coloration is not as vibrant as other “green and black” morphs of auratus.  This morph of auratus has green markings on a dark brown body.
