    If mynok has the breeders name or if anyone does that has been producing these for nearly every petsore in the states that would be very helpful.

    The information I was given regarding the production of the P. bicolor is that they were bred at a facility in Peru (primarily a Draceana breeding facility). Obviously without witnessing it with one's own eyes it's impossible to verify, but the same must be said of the claims that they are collected as tadpoles from the wild.

    I would say that it probably doesn't matter. Nobody is claiming the kudos of being the first to ever breed this species in captivity (and if someone were making such a claim, it would be thoroughly photographed and documented or would be simply that - a claim), what's important is that these frogs appear to be disease-free and completely at ease with captive life. Very unlike the poor WC adults that die in huge numbers after being ripped out of the wild for export.

    Hi, the reason I brought up that his frog may be wc is because being that it is a possibility parasites may have played a role. The two I got definitely seem to be doing great and acting like any cb frog I've had but if it's true that they were wc tads then this may have played a role in the frogs death just something I thought was worth mentioning to the op.
