Good Evening Friends
As some know, I have a small collection of Poison Dart Frogs. These awesome little creatures reside in custom made vivariums where all contents are living. The plants, the substrate, the moss, the algae...EVERYTHING! We have a small room in our home that we keep a few racks of tanks. My son LOVES them, and to be honest, so do I!
I wanted to share two new varieties that we recently acquired. The first, is Dendrobates tinctorius 'Green Sipaliwini'. Commonly called the Dyeing Poison Dart Frog (based on an early belief that natives used brightly colored frogs to dye fabric). She is a stunner!
Next, a pair of Dendrobates leucomelas, or the bumblebee dart frog. The call on the male frog is beautiful:
And lastly, I'd like to share an update in regard to the Dendrobates auratus "Costa Rica" or green-and-black poison dart frog breeding project.... So far this year we have successfully morphed nearly 30 from egg to tadpole to froglet! Of course we sell/trade some of the frogs, hold some back, and we also donate many tadpoles to my son's school so that the children get a first-hand experience and witness a tadpole morph straight through to a froglet. The little ones get so excited!!
Here's a picture of a group of recently morphed froglets:
As you could imagine, we stay pretty busy! But, I have to say that we LOVE our hobby.
Thanks for reading.
