Ranitomeya vanzolinii

Dendrobates leucomelas

Ranitomeya imitator "german import"

Pobably too many pics for one post. I love these guys though, so photogenic and interesting

 

[Thistles]

Ohhh, gimme those vanzos! I have been saving up for some =) Gorgeous frogs and great pics!

Very cool specimens! Any advice you can offer into caring/handling poison dart frogs? I've cared for Fire Belly toads in the past but I know they aren't even close to the level of toxicity of your guys.

 

[Frogparty]

CB dart frogs are non toxic. They are alkaloid sequesterers and without rainforest oribatid mates, millipedes and ants to gather their building blocks they cannot synthesize complex alkaloid structures. The worry in handling is hurting the frogs. Amphibians have delicate mucos membranes

I have a vanzo froglet just out of the water, it will be sellable OR TRADABLE in a few months. Looking for E. murinus, cyanognathus or P. metallica

That's good to know. I wasn't aware of that fact.

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, I want to get back into Darts myself one day soon.

 

[Thistles]

Haha, grats on the baby! I actually have a friend in Portland with some, but there are some Ts I need to check off the wishlist first. I was mostly kidding and jealous!

 

[Frogparty]

we all have priorities right?! Mine are darts first, mantids second, spiders third.

 

[Risky]

Frogparty, which mantids will you be choosing? I'm thinking of getting a couple myself.

 

[Frogparty]

I breed orchids and ghosts right now, but I have a few more species in the works

 

[Thistles]

Ts > mantids > frogs for me =) I just wish the mantids lived longer. Have any B. mendica or G. gongylodes?

 

[Frogparty]

No but I know several people with B. mendica. I'll inquire about nymph availability

Thanks
