    Default Mantella Species Count In Captivty - 23/01/14

    Hi everyone,

    This is a quick post just to find out how many of the genus Mantella, are kept by people in both the UK and over the world.

    With the rise in popularity of the Mantella genus, I thought it would be interesting to see just how many of the 16 species are in captivity (either Hobbyist of Professional Collections).

    I am also looking into any current Studbooks for this genus or the potential to set up a studbook for Private and Professional Collections.

    Anyway, I look forward to seeing everyone's participation to this poll and thank you all in advance

    Many thanks,

    Josh

    It is indeed bill I have bred both my M.viridis and M.aurantiaca (M.aurantiaca breed far to easily lol). I have 4 different bloodlines for my M.viridis which all are kept in separate enclosues to allow controlled unrelated breeding. Here in the UK there seems to be a hell of a lot of M.viridis which is curiously intriguing as to who has been breeding them as I haven't seen them openly for sale in a long time.

    That's what I thought after I typed that. I figured it was froglets lol

    That's very cool. What is their morph time like? I remember reading that mantellas normally take a year to develop?

    well it takes a year to fully develop properly but they can morph into froglets from tadpoles in approximately 30 to 40 days.

    I got 6 M. Betsileo and hoping to extend the collection in the summer into a few other species but the problem here in Canada is that there is only one professional breeder who has them (Understory) and they can be a bit pricey to start out a colony. A certain individual on the forum has a mantella collection that I wouldn't hesitate to hijack ...... ahem
