Den, is the frog in Australia or overseas?

The owner is in NSW mate

Was it Captive breed or WC?

 

[Den from Den Pythons]

Not 100% sure on that. He got it from a kid or something. You know how those mexicans roll......LOL

 

[meshe1969]

How long has he had it? Was there any patches when he first got it? How rapidly is it spreading?

LOL That cracked me up.


But we had a GTF that used to visit us at our old house who had a bit white patch like that.... except it went over his face.

Not helpful I know.... but just thought I'd tell you...

i'd suggest that it may well be a pied (piebald) mutation. many bird mutations in the pied start with an abnormal patch like this, however, as far as colour goes, i would have expected a yellow patch rather than a white. the known mutations in gtf's are blues and yellows, needing both genes present to produce a white if following normal inheritence as with green birds, eg a pied green budgie has a yellow patch, and you need blue and yellow budgie genes to produce whites.
worth breeding, some nice patterns could appear in subsequent generations.
