Glass Frogs

[pez]

Hi, glass frogs are nice although you almost never see their interior, I dont keep this frogs but a cousin does and has 2 species Hyalinobatrachium talamancae and Cochranella albomaculata, they are easy to maintain in captivity if you give them plants hanging over a pond or stream. I think that the glass frogs all of you are planning to buy are so expensive for 2 things, 1) they are new to the hobbie (well, at least in the United States) and 2) their tadpoles take too much time to develop.

The Brian you are talking about is Brian Kubicki and he created the CRARC ( Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center) and also wrote the book about costa rican leaf frogs and costa rican glass frogs Costa Rican Amphibians



Any question you have on glass frogs just ask.

Have you seen them in the wild? If you have and you have taken photos, can you please post them? Also, if you have pictures of the tanks, could you also post them? I might be asking to much and yes it is Brian Kubicki of the CRARC.

Yes i have seen them in the wild, here are some photos but they are not my photos, I might get some photos of the tank and the frogs next Friday or so, because I am going to my cousins house.

Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni


Cochranella granulosa



I almost forget, remember that this frogseat only when it is totally dark, no lights at all so you have to feed them at night.

I asked my cousin if he couldsend me some photos of the glass frogs, he did but they arent the best photos, in fact the frog is barely visible I will post my photos of the frogs and the tank during the week end.
