I'd like to thank everyone who's contributed this far on this thread. As I've mentioned to some of you, either by PM, chat, or on this thread, information on S. gottlebei is scarce, often dated, and certainly conflicting from one post to another. If only for the purpose of housing these properly and avoiding fatalities (there's a few Ornate hoppers owners on this board), or for near/future breeding projects, this thread will contribute to a better understanding of the Scaphiophryne gottlebei.

Brent, as you know, I have lots to read, thank you (correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen a breeding protocol in the papers)... It will be part of the basis of this breeding project I'm hoping to jump on soon. I will join TWI shortly. And by all means, stick around, I have a feeling this thread has a few more posts to it (said the French speaking moderator).

Seth and Corey, I'm grateful for your exchanges. It's evident by the information shared by both of you that knowledge on these is far from being consistent.

I'm hoping to work on an article once this is done, and hopefully offer to future readers a more concise how to on these frogs.

Eric
