Today I found my first home grown Dendrobates tinctorius eggs. My "Patricia" pair are only about 12 months old. I got them from Pat Nabors. They have really emboldened over the last couple of months, and the recent warm spell may have helped trigger breeding. The female is impressively large, and she's quite a bit more yellow than her mate. Interestingly, when I lifted the coconut hut to take some photos of the eggs, the male jumped straight onto the eggs and stared me down - I was quite impressed with his behavior and I decided not to be greedy for photos. I don't know if these eggs are fertile but I think they may be. I am about to move homes again so these may not make it through development but I'm sure more will follow.
