@ Seth When was this, I don't remember that?

Next to Atelopus these are my dream species. Hands down.

Thanks Wesley Brouwer for the great info!

They are notoriously difficult from all I've read. Steve Busch in Oregon, USA, bred them though. The metamorphs were typically tiny, as is customary for Bufonids. I have no idea what happened to his metamorphs, I'm wondering if these are the ones Seth is referring to?

Whatever the case, I believe most of these SE asian imports have a reputation for arriving in bad condition, across the board, regardless of genus. And then there's Chytrid...

Whatever the case, I would keep these ventilated above all else. Species that have skin that deflects water seem to be built for water conservation. Most SE asian Rhacophorids also are built for are very well-ventilated setup.

I read that this species avidly accepts carpenter ants, indicating that they may pursue an ant-eating lifestyle, not a good omen for hobbiests. It would seem though, that with heavy supplementations, such a dietary hurdle could be surmounted, As is seen in the modern dart hobby. I have never seen, nor owned one, very cool though, an admirable endeavor, whatever the case. Thanks, JVK
