Great advice, friendly people, and lots of frogs!
Ranitomeya variabilis "Southern" Zimmerman's Poison Frog Male transporting tadpole October 2012
Nice! I'm always amazed by these tadpole transporting pictures. How do you go about being there at the right time? Is this an easy thing to predict? How long does the male carry the tadpole around for, is it just a short change of venue for the tad or does he go sightseeing?
When I spot a male transporting, I try to catch him and put him on a photo stage to take the photos. It depends on the frog though - for the shy ones or delicate ones I am more likely to try to photograph them in their terrarium. They usually carry the tadpole for a few hours, but I've sometimes seen a male carry a tadpole for several days (the tadpole seems fine).
