That's heat tape. Do you have to wire it yourself? I am looking for minimal hassle.

[Kurt]

Yes, I beleive so. It may be cheaper but it is DIY.

[Mike]

Well, I need to give Ray some frogs and pick up a few Mantella, so I'll be there too.

[John]

What kind of frogs Mike?

[Mike]

Dropping off Dendrobates auratus, picking up Mantella aurantiaca and Mantella pulchra. The aurantiaca are part of a captive breeding program, Ray breeds them and we are trying to get them circulating in the hobby again (captive bred).

[Kurt]

Aurantiaca, now you have my attention. Who's Ray by the way?

[Kurt]

We should get a group photo Sunday.

[John]

Which race of Dendrobates auratus is it Mike?

Which race of Dendrobates auratus is it Mike?

They were sold to me as "speckled" capira auratus from SNDF: http://www.sndartfrogs.com/galleryfsauratus.html

Just don't have space for everything and would rather use their tank for another breeding project I'm working on. These are the 4 adults I'll be dropping off:

Ooh Mike if you ever wanted to sell some im sure this forum has more then a few potential customers.
Also I find the idea about this project interesting how many people are participating?

It's a project within the Amphibian Steward Network, a program of Tree Walkers International (an amphibian conservation group that I do volunteer work for). We are tracking the animals in the ASN's studbook (which uses ISIS, the same database as other zoos). Not sure on number of people but hopefully the offspring from Ray's breeding group get into good homes that will breed them as well and in a year from now there will be a lot more offspring produced that can be distributed in the hobby.
