There's a chance I'll be in Roanoke VA in the next month or so - I'd consider a side trip .

How are the lorenzo doing?

John, I'm not sure how far away Roanoke is from me, but if you want to take a side trip you are more than welcome

Mike, the Lorenzo are growing like weeds! They are amazing little guys. I can't wait to see what they will look like as adults.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are Lorenzo?

Alex- I am probably going to Hamburg in December.

They are one of the dwarf tinctorius localities / morphs.

I've had an adult male for over a year now that I've been trying to pair up but they're generally hard to find since not many people breed them. Aside from the froglets I'm raising out, I traded for 2 sub adults a while ago and put one of them with my male. He started calling and the other one sort of courted a bit, it's toepads are smaller too so hopefully it is a young female. Will find out in a few more months.

There is a decent amount of variation within the population. You can have a specimen that will be almost all black/blue with just a tiny yellow/orange crest on the top of the head (I think I've seen them called 'black ghost' in europe?) and then also have a specimen that has more of a yellow/orange crest with yellow splotches on the arms/legs. My oldest female I'm raising out looks like that, then I have one that looks like the black ghost phenotype, but the rest are in between. A month ago I put the oldest froglet I was raising out (which looked female) in with my proven male, and they just laid their first clutch. Don't think they are good but it's a start.
