Yes, he bred them several times. "Reptile depot" had some spawn for them and did not sell the offspring for quite a long time either. Sandy Mascarino also bred them some in the mid 90's and wrote a "reptiles" magazine article about breeding them if I recall. I believe several europeans have bred them at various times too though I don't know who specifically.

I had forgotten about Mascarino Seth, I think I remember something about Steve helping Sandy out a bunch with that, or swapping breeders or something.I didn't realize Steve bred them more than once.

Funny the toadlets didn't sell for awhile, you would think some of them might still be circulating around though, being captive bred, and I would assume hardy and long-lived. Of course males are pretty drab, and quite a few females pics' I've seen, I can only imagine how small, brown, and generic the toadlets would be to sell.

A Long Term Captive pair was offered somewhere in Las Vegas last year, I should have jumped on them sooner. Their prices are usually horrendous though, rightly so if they are acclimated I would guess.

@ Wesley, that is very interesting information about the tapeworms. All of the information you've shared has been awesome.

I'm interested in the tadpole/metamorph failure. This species breeds in slow moving jungle streams from what I understand. But that could mean anything, I've noticed that hobbyists can uncover the craziest minute specializations in species. JVK
