Hi everyone
Thought I would post this up, as I am interested to find out how popular Mantella are in captivity!
Currently keep 8 species of Mantella which include the following;
1.1.20 Golden Mantella (Mantella aurantiaca)
2.2.0 Brown Leaf Mantella (Mantella betsileo)
1.3.0 Guibes Mantella (Mantella nigricans)
1.1.0 Blue-Legged Mantella (Mantella expectata)
1.2.0 Madagascan Mantella (Mantella Madagascarensis)
1.2.0 Yellow Mantella (Mantella crocea)
1.2.5 Green Mantella (Mantella viridis)
1.0.0 Arboreal Mantella (Mantella laevigata) - which I got a short while ago.
I only have one bloodline for most of them except the M.aurantiaca, M.betsileo and M.viridis which all have 2 blood lines. I am looking for more individuals before I breed the others though!
What species within the Mantella genus do you keep?
Looking forward to hearing what you keep!!
Thanks,
MantellaGuy
M. Betsileo as you know lol .... or is it M.Ebanui hahaha. Anyhooo, I presently have 6 individuals that I have 2 confirmed males (calling). One little dude is the most persistent in the calling. The other 4 I assume at present to be female. 4 are around 11 months old and 2 are 1 1/2 years old so I may have mating in a while. All were obtained from the importers Mirdo, one set a little under a year ago and one set from the Understory line that was established 9 years ago and are captive bred. Region of origins for all of them presently unknown (until Mirdo reveals where they obtain them). I am considering getting another mantella species. I have a large vertical terrarium free so looking for more of a arboreal rather than terrestrial.
Don't keep any yet; but hope that will change by next year. From your list, my favorites are Mantella aurantiaca, Mantella expectata, and Mantella Madagascarensis .
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
i was keeping M. Baroni and M. Betsileo, but since i had housing issues and let a friend of mine care for them, i now only have M.Betsileo.
