Intermedius Imitator laid first eggs!

[John]

I don't have photos of the eggs, but my 7-8 month old pair of "Standard Intermedius" Ranitomeya imitator have 2 clutches of eggs going in their terrarium.

I bought 2 juveniles in March that were about 2 months old just because they were the right price. Well they turned out to be a pair, which was apparent in June. I’ve been checking their terrarium with my lighted dental mirror for the past 1-2 months. Tonight I found a pair of developing eggs in a brom. Hurray! I decided to drill some more film canisters for suction cups so the frogs would have more options for deposition sites. When I went back to the terrarium to put the 3 extra canisters on the walls, I found another clutch of 4 brand new eggs with the male sitting on them, again in a bromeliad. I’m thrilled. Of the 3 races of imitator I’ve tried to breed, I’m 3 for 3 now. Very happy . Here's mother:
