Betsileo colony (as of yet) although I have a setup that would allow for it. Periodically one of them might be on a higher branch but that is not too common. They seem to be, at least the past few months, very much oriented towards burrowing into the moss and creating little indents/caves here and there.
I noticed my males climb and my females have created little burrows for themselves. Like MG alluded to, their winter is a bit more dry, so I most less now, maybe once or twice a week. In the spring, I'll increase it, until I get back to misting everyday. I want to see if i can excite a breeding response out of them.

Also, check out understory enterprises, they are based in Canada and are the few folks who actually have an active breeding program for mantellas this side if the Atlantic.
