Hi guys,
I have a breeding pair of Oophaga Pumilio 'Bri Bri' which have laid a clutch of four eggs. Whooo!!
This is the first time they have bred for me although I have only had them around 3 weeks. The thing that really concerns me is the fact that they did not mate in a vent to vent position like I have read they should. Instead the male grasped the female and she carried him round on her back. I would call this 'normal' amplexus but I'm sure that's not the proper terminology.
So, are my eggs likely to be fertile? Is it possible for them to breed successfully in this way?
P.s the eggs were laid in a film canister located on the side of the viv.
Regards Coogan
