Ranitomeya ventrimaculata - Terrarium

[clownonfire]

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.

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.

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.

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!

Here's a last picture update. We added plants to our vents' vivarium. A Cryptanthus bivittatus bromeliad (on the right, pink and green stripes leaves). A Nephrolepis exaltata (Boston Fern), and a Hypoestes (polka dot plant).

Now moving on.

Very nice and they should feel protected in there.
