    Smile Southern Ranitomeya variabilis breeding success

    Yesterday (Tuesday) I received a male Southern Ranitomeya variabilis from InnoEcto in trade for my Standard R. lamasi male. I knew something was up the minute the male went in with my 4 females. Well this afternoon, just 24 hours after I received the male from FedEx, I had 2 film canisters with eggs. 18 of them. 1 set of eggs was in a black film canister, the other set in a white film canister. Here are two females in the white film canister:



    All 4 females are as fat as the one in the back. They are little blimps. This has to be the boldest thumbnail I've ever seen, easily as bold as any R. imitator.

    You can read more about the setup of the terrarium and see more photos of the frogs from a few months ago here: http://www.frogforum.net/general-dis...new-frogs.html

    Congrats John. They look like they are going to pop. No wonder they laid so quickly.

    lucky dog you! the southern variabilis are by far my favorite thumbs (outside of pumilio).

    if you choose to sell any offspring, would local sales get dibs?

    congrats john, take care

    Thanks guys. Garrett: I've only started raising them now (literally in the last week) so it will be at least 3 months until I have any youngsters. I will of course give you the option since you're local! By the way, pumilio don't count as thumbnail dart frogs - Thumbnails are only considered to be Ranitomeya and its closely related genera.
