This is wild.

This tadpole was deposited into a bromeliad and I removed it from the parents on May 30th 2024. It turned out to be a "forever tad" which means it wasn't developing. It was still thriving so I let it sit over the past 7 and a half months and it's exiting the water today. I'll be interested to see if it'll remain healthy.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the STL Show me reptile show yesterday. It was a blast!

Springfield, I'm on my way to you next. I'll see you all this weekend!

I was asked the other day, "How do you keep your tadpoles" I thought I'd share this here since many Dart frog keepers turn into dart frog breeders.

The first picture is of my single tadpole set up, they are in 16 oz cups that receive 75% water changes weekly and they are fed on the same day. The success rate in these cups are 90-95%. Most Dendrobates are raised this way.

The second image is a communal set up. This set up gets fed 2x a week with a 25% weekly water change. These set ups have a bubbler and filter as well to assist with water quality. Success rate is 90-95% for Epipedobates and Phyllobates. 70% for Dendrobates.

Some overproducing Dendrobates do get raised this way, which often leads to cannibalism leading to a lower success rate. Unfortunately, I do not have the capability to raise all Dendrobates separately, so this is a better option for me than culling eggs.

All tadpoles have indian almond leaves in their water for added tannins and java moss to snack on and hide in.

They eat Repashy soilent green primarily with some form of protein once a month. (Brine shrimp eggs, fish flakes, or bloodworms)

All water changes are done with R/O water.

There are numerous ways to raise tadpoles though. If you see other information that doesn't make it wrong. This is simply what works for me.

This is a rare sight because my Ranitomeya enclosures are always so busy with plants they tend to lay eggs somewhere more secretive. Say HI to the newest clutch of Ranitomeya benedicta "shucushuyacu" babies!

Hatchling froggos are eating great today. Those jerks keep eating their clean up crew!

Fruit Fly PSA!

If you are experiencing your fruit fly cultures having less or no production during the winter cover half of the air vents on your lids. That will preserve moisture. You can also spray the culture with R/O or spring water to add moisture to the culture.

Don't forget I have my own mix for fruit fly media free to use but I can ship media and kits during winter months as well!

Dendrobates tinctorius "Kaw Mountain Dwarf Cobalt" are some of the coolest tinctorius in my collection. These guys are already showing brilliant patterns as juveniles!

11/09/2024

Exiting news as I was doing my egg check this morning, a highly requested locality has just started laying eggs! Dendrobates tinctorius "Vanessa"

The first clutch went bad which is totally normal but, with luck, some Vanessa juveniles may become available as early as the summer!

The night and day difference between freshly cleaned glass and glass that I let go for a couple months haha. I can see my frogs again! I'm not so sure they share that excitement...

10/20/2024

Such a unique pattern on this kaw mountain cobalt. If it stays like this he will definitely be a future breeder!

Unfortunately I have to announce that I will not be attending any shows in October or November due to lack of stock. I pride myself on only presenting animals that I produce myself and I'm simply out of stock.

I will be attending both the Springfield MO and Bridgton MO Show me reptile show events in December.

10/02/2024

I'm renovating many of my grow outs at the moment and couldn't pass up the opportunity to snap a pic of these four beautiful Dendrobates tinctorius tumucumaque froglets. They are already showing great colors!

Thank you to everyone that stopped by Show me reptile show in Springfield today. It was a blast!

09/08/2024

Packing up frogs for the Show me reptile show tomorrow in Bridgton MO. Come check out all the new friends you could collect!

*Picture is of Dendrobates tinctorius "tumucumaque" currently sold out as they have been on many people's wait lists. I will have a few (very few) available on the 21st in Springfield MO!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the show yesterday! It was great to see familiar faces as well as some new ones!

The picture is a sneak peak of a project I'm working on. Comment if you know what it is!

07/12/2024

Hey everyone! The next show for me is the Show me reptile show in Bridgton MO on July 21st! I will be bringing many frogs to chose from!

However these three localities will be discounted to free up some baby space for other frogs. I will have two 4-packs of each of the localities 25% off!

Please message me if you'd like prices, I cannot put prices on this platform.

This group is one of my newest acquisitions. Dendrobates tinctorius "Regina" Assuming that I get a pair of them, I'm a couple months off from sexing them reliably, I should have them available late summer of 2024
