I checked upon one of my Madagascan Mantella (Mantella madagascariensis) bloodlines last night and had two lovely surprises!

Firstly, I finally managed to get this species to enter Thanatosis which even I was finding impossible, here are the stunning results! WARNING - Following photos exhibit truly beautiful colourations!
