New England Herpetological Society Show and Sale

[Kurt]

D'oh! I was close. Don't know why I got that one wrong, as I used to have one a long time ago. It was nice to meet you too. Did you get your Mantella aurantiaca?

[Mike]

Yes! and they are TINY.

[Kurt]

How tiny are they? (Whoa! Just had a Johnny Carson flashback for a moment)

[Mike]

3 are 1/2" SVL, and another 3 younger ones from different parents are half that (trying to eventually form unrelated groups when older).

[Tom Highum]

How big do they get?

[Mike]

According to the book "Mantellas" by Marc Staniszewski, females from 22-26 mm SVL (0.87-1.00 in), males from 18-22mm (0.71-0.87 in) [page 148].

[Kurt]

How big do they get?

Thats a rather personal question!!!

Those White's Treefrogs that Regal Reptiles was selling were smaller than I've ever seen them. I was surprised to see 4 African Fat-Tailed Geckos for sale, including a 3 month old female that I purchased. I did not see Kurt or John, but I was in a rush as I had somewhere I had to go.
