Ranitomeya

[poison]

Got 1.0.1 Ranitomeya imitator's "varaderos" and 1.0.1 R. Variabilis "highland". Here are some pics of them so far. The imitators are hiding right now so only got a pic of one.

The are so cute! I have 4 R. Ventrimaculatus 'Sean Stewart Line' and they are a blast to watch in the tank. Mine are still very skittish and run to the back of the tank when I get close, but will venture back out if I am patient enough.

They are gorgeous, congrats on the new frogs!

Thank Paul. So far the Variabilis are super active while the imitators are pretty shy. I heard the male Variabilis calling.

Finally got a pic of this sucker calling

Daniel ---of course he is just adorable.
Aren't the imis so entertaining!
Enjoy!

Watch out for escape attempts. They are very clever!

[poison]

Haha, thanks for the late warning, Lynn . One of them escaped the first day while the original owner was showing me them. Than again the other day while I was putting fruit flies in. I get so scared that I'm gonna squash the little things when I try to catch them.

Yikes! I get scared too

I count heads! I have a female that rides the door of the exo!
You will have more tricks up your sleeve then them
Just develop good habits of knowing where they are before you open.
Be sure there are no small openings anywhere; they WILL find them.

Warning! Never work on, do a big cleaning, or planting in the tank when they are in it.
Set up a temp container, use a turkey baster to move them before your work.
Just put some - flat- wet paper towel on the bottom of the temp set up.

I cleaned ( weeded / pruned) and did some planting in 2 tanks this AM --- for the imitators and the auratus.
I used to think it would stress them out to move them.

But it stresses me out more NOT to
So....... out they went .......... back in when I was done ----- safe and sound !!

Quick question. My 100% male Variabilis is chasing the other variabilis around and croaking as he is doing so. I have not heard any calling coming from the other one and I have not seen any fighting. Does this sound like a male displaying for the female?

[Heatheranne]

It sounds likely. Hopefully he's not driving her crazy, lol!
