Thanks for the compliments! I'm very happy with this pair, though they are more secretive than my other imitators.

You will have to come up some time and photograph a few of mine. The Sphaenorhynchus lacteus and Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis come to mind. Serious I would consider a coffee table book of some spectacular amphibians.

Hi John,

Great photos of a great frog. Erick G. gave me a group a few weeks ago and they are really beautiful. They tend to come out mostly in the late afternoon, but otherwise are pretty wary. I wonder if you found this to be the case.

great site, BTW. Thanks! Richard.

Thanks Richard! Actually I find them to be most active in the morning and in the evening. My lights come on at 9 am and go out at 9 pm. The frogs start calling an hour or two before lights on and then are active until about 11-12. They then all but disappear until 5 or 6 pm, and then go to sleep about 9:30-10pm.

Hi John,

My Veraderos bred for the first time yesterday (I have only had the group together for a few weeks), so maybe I'll get some nice transport photos (though not as good as yours!)

Cheers! Richard.
