    Default Pink Toads?!?

    Yes, "pink"!

    These little cuties are called Atelopus bartolini. They are Suriname toads from South America. The males reside amongst the natural rocks of the waterfalls and streams, while the lady toads live along the forest floor "gardens". During the mating season, the females come to the waters edge and the males come singing/calling to attract them.

    The cousin Atelopus species living in the Panamanian forests are now cautiously monitored for signs of the Chytrid fungus. Amphibian Ark and other reserve and preservation organizations and groups are working hard to prevent the spread of Chytrid and to maintain the current species populations by healthy breeding projects. I'm sure you've heard of the Panamanian Golden Toad. These similar species toads are considered endangered and these preservation groups are working hard to keep them off of the extinction list.

    Please enjoy the photos of our adorable Atelopus bartolini juveniles. We are hoping we may have a female in our bunch, but it's very likely we have only males.

    If our Atelopus tolerate their quarantining well, they will have a rock waterfall with a beautiful side vivarium to mimic their natural habitat as much as possible.

    We love our new adoptees . Welcome home little Aties .



























    Their quarantine tank has to be easily cleanable. Very simple. Until their Chytrid test results are received we have to consider them to be carriers. So far they have no signs of illness.







    They are quite interested in their surroundings.





    And a few new photos from today. Please pardon the quality of the photos as they were taken with my iphone.









    I love this photo! Nothing like your breakfast climbing on your head! Ha ha! Too cute!



    And a few more of them hanging pool side.













    Thanks for taking a look .

    This is a species I am hoping to get soon. They have been popping up more often the past couple of years (As well as a couple of other Atelopus species). I've just been a little scared to try them out since I don't know much about their captive requirements. These are beautiful and I wish you the best of luck. I will be coming to you in the future for advise as it seems like most people who have them only have them for a short period of time before they sale them off.

    Default Pink Toads?!?

    Thank you . We will be keeping ours for sure. Once adopted, I keep our frogs and toads no matter how tough they can be.

    We purchased these little ones from Allen of Reptile Kindom. I have only met him once.

    Taking in this species is of great responsibility to me, especially since their numbers are limited. I feel even more responsible to do my best for them.

    Hi,

    are these captive bred??? Iīve worked with this species in 2010 during a practical course in a zoo. Theyīve tried to breed them, but as far as I know, they didnīt succeed until now.

    A small correction (I hope you donīt mind): they they donīt occur in Panama (A. zeteki does), but on the Guyana shield (Suriname).

    As I wrote my Diploma thesis on Atelopus, I would be very, very pleased to read about a succesful breeding project
    Amphibians kept:
    9.10.3 Hymenochirus boettgeri
    2.4.0 Xenopus laevis
    0.1.0 Hypselotriton orientalis
    3.0.0 Hyloxalus azureiventris
    4.1.0 Pipa parva
    2.1.2 Bombina orientalis
    1.0.0 Ceratophrys cranwelli
    2.2.0 Bombina orientalis

    Yes, these guys are from Suriname. The Yellow Panamanian Golden Toads are from Panama . I did know that .

    Thanks so much .

    Felis, what can you tell me about them? Other than their natural habitats, have you learned any tricks to their breeding? Do you happen to know how large this species grows to?

    They definitely do not look like the traditional American toad species around the states.

    Default Pink Toads?!?

    Last night I monitored them for a bit. I've come to find that they are quite mellow. They seem to be quite intrigued by their current surroundings. They do not act all hyper like the dart frogs when they explore. They seem to be trying to locate the area of the fish tank. I'm assuming they are looking for what sounds like the waterfall. The one little one watched me as much as I watched him. Pretty neat.
