Welcoming Atelopus spumarius
Hi all,
I had made up my mind that my focus would now be solely on P. terribilis. Well, that is still true... But. I couldn’t pass up the offer of owning 2 male Atelopus spumaria (yes Seth, your post had something to do with it). A hobbyist friend of mine from Quebec City will be receiving 6 WC Atelopus spumarius. They were part of a rescue. There is no guaranty on their health, and they will have to be quarantined and the whole gamut before anything. But they are free, and they will be rescued. Furthermore, I will be able to pick them up myself in May (or mid-June) as I am giving a conference there during those two months.
I have a 29 gallon just laying around which i will need to work on pronto during the next few weeks, with a flowing water pond – which in itself is a nice challenge for me. Don’t ask me if I will breed... No for a few obvious reasons: 1 – I’m all about the terribs. 2 – I’ll never get a female... Unless Taron and Ray look the other way on the perfect day...
Actually, let me rephrase that. I am not making myself any illusions. I know females are almost impossible to get. But it could happen. And if it happens, and then perhaps I will explore that avenue once I master the terribs. I would like that.
For the time being, these will be just for me. For my collection. What are my chances of ever owning such a frog... Especially here in Canada...
Eric
