What a cute little bugger, and good job. It must feel so good to have success and be able to watch these little guys morph into frogs in person.

Sorry to double post, Diver are the clowns and Redeyes that you bred in your other thread your first attempt at breeding?

[Diver]

Hi Cory, thanks for your kind words on the thread No, I've been keeping reptiles and amphibians since 1978 so have bred a few in that time, however this is the first time that I have bred the Clown Tree Frog. Central and South American tree frogs are where my interests lie these days and I have captive breeding projects on the go for all of the species in my signature. I hope that more captive breeding = less demand for individuals taken from the wild.
