No, but sounds about like %'s in previous imports. Who is getting the couple of females that did come in do you know? Myself I would like to see them to go to someone like EdK who has worked with atelopus a long time. About the only likely way they might get established in the hobby is if a group of hobbyists chipped in and got a group with several females and sent them to someone like Ed to work with. Due to the manner they are collected there just is not going to be enough females to go around any other way. I would definitely make a donation towards getting together a nice breeding group if it was going to go to someone like Ed. I don't see much chance of hoogmoedi being established in the hobby without some sort of deal like that or somehow a group of young juveniles being collected with more even sex ratios.
