Re: Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Terrarium
And, on the vents I am getting:
They come from a location called Pongo de Cainarachi and are not available on the market. They were acquired by the breeder from Understory Enterprises, as I mentioned earlier in the thread.
Here's also a link to a group I started on dendrobates:

I know Mark Pepper. If your frogs came from him or an employee your getting some healthy frogs and a good bloodline at that. I imported a few of my retic lines from him when I was looking for new blood to expand with.
Keep in mind seeding the viv is important as thumbs are constantly eating. Even if you have to add springs to the viv every few days until population gets going. Enjoy the canadart. I have a few friends there.

It's not Mark, although he's good friends with my breeder, Mathieu. So I will add springs. And I do have a very healthy culture of flightless fruit flies which I will make sure are in constant presence in the terrarium, as per Kurt's suggestion. I've been doing this for my bumblebee walking toad in her terrarium and she loves it.Originally Posted by poison beauties
It's really nice of you to share all this info. Very helpful.
Do you have any pics of yours? And I did join Canadart, I'll look for you.

Re: Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Terrarium
Mark owns Understory. So if your friend works there he is friends with Mark no doubt. I havent had vents in almost 5 years but I do have pics of a few other species Ive had as of late. Here's my favorite thumb. I was lucky enough to breed a couple hundred of these in the last 7 years. They are about as difficult of a thumb as you can get and they are the smallest.
Ranitomeya Reticulata

Re: Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Terrarium
They are absolutely beautiful. Your Reticulata and the Vanzolini in picture 1018 are stunning.
And I envy your installation. It's a growing passion, and who knows with time... But your setup is just incredible.
And I did not know this about Mark. If I am correct, Mathieu is leaving for 3 months in Peru with him next week.
Re: Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Terrarium
We finally picked up our male and female vents yesterday. We named our little ones Mickey and Mallory. So far, I was only able to take the male on pictures. Here's the link:
Frog Forum - clownonfire's Album: Ranitomeya ventrimaculata
And the terrarium with 2 bromeliads and oak leaf litter.

Re: Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Terrarium
I've contacted Understory Enterprises, and here is what they had to say about these "Pongo" vents:
Those are the same frogs as the "Rodyll" vents that have been on the market for a few years now. Math (the breeder), got them from us before we sold any publicly, to use in some of his research.
So there you go!
