Hi.
Not sure whether this is allowed but i'm in no way connected to them and some
of you might be interested so i'm just passing through the information:
a Dutch company offers (WC) Melanophryniscus stelzneri at www.peruvian-frogimport.com

Too bad its a Dutch company, I have been wanting some of these for years. I used to have some long before I knew what I was doing.

Shipping to the US might be easier because it's a company, but still expensive
i guess.
They seem to thrive best in a rocky, grassy, dry and cool set up, where breeding can
be triggered by simulating heavy rains after a dry period. Siegenthaler describes
(in German) the difficulties in keeping and breeding Melanophryniscus stelzneri in a more tropical set-up.

For those of you who are interested, some of these wonderful frogs have just been imported. They are WC so please be mindful of that.

I can PM you the link if you haven't seen the website yet, but I don't really feel comfortable actually "advertising" WC animals.
I hope this can start a breeding population somewhere in the U.S.
Me too. PM me it or e-mail me directly. You still have my e-mail address, right?
