Ranitomeya ventrimaculata "Blackwater"

Wow, John. They look fantastic! Don't you just wish you can fast forward to breeding age already?

WOOOOOW very pretty

Actually one of these is already calling, so I would think they'll be ready in 1-3 months.

I love the vents. I think Borja Ridge vents are my favorite but your Blackwaters are beautiful.

Beautiful frogs......I was thinking of getting those as a first frog....Far to many frogs to choose from. BlackWater are for sure on the top 5 list....The pics are amazing as well.....

Black waters are supposedly the hardest vent to breed. I really like Iquitos vents too.

This thread has been pretty stale for the past few months. I got a pair from Understory Enterprises this week, a male and a female. They were originally for a researcher. UE wrote me today explaining that the R. ventrimaculata "Pongo" were the original name of the Rodyll, before they were on the market.

hey have been pretty active, the male is bolder than the female. From what Math tells me (the researcher), the male started singing just before I got them.

Here are two pics. The first one is the male, and the second one, the female. And John, your vents are stunning. Absolutely stunning.
