Has anyone successfully breed there pixies?

I've never found Pixies in water, I only ever find them on roads. This is because as you know from keeping them they like to hide in mud, or under the cover of a plant, when these pans fill in Spring there are a number of thick bushes and grasses that are now half way under water. Don't think of the pans as a dam, when we have our rainy seasons again I will get some more pics to demonstrate this. Another reason is because there are animals and insects warming them selves on the roads at night and all the predators will move to the roads to hunt, and this is the best way to find them.

Buck,
thank you for that info. How much standing water(puddles, ponds, lakes, rivers) is in this area when its not the rainy season?
besides when they hibernate, how dry is this area these frogs live?
thank you so much for your first hand information!!!

Have a look at this post http://www.frogforum.net/fieldwork/2...e-release.html the most recent photos from August are from our winter (dry season). Those photos are the same location and the same water holes. There is absolutely no water what so ever. There will still be damns and man made ponds and a few small flowing rivers, but the Pixies will not be anywhere near these areas. They only are near these seasonal water pans.

Thanks Buck! Sounds like these frogs love the muck. I had a feeling that they did. i know they like water too but they seem to like to chill in any kind of moist substrate more often. It seems like they prefer water when they need to shed, because once my frog sheds he wants to get out of water.

Keep looking for albinos. They would be a great way to get rich quick especially if you got breeding albinos.

Hey Buck, dont forget to get some pictures of the area during the rainy season for all of us. I look forward to you finding a few albinos soon! (:
