I have some. Good frogs, very vocal and bold. Mine are consistant breeders and have been going at it for 2 years and going. Set them up just as you would other pumilio morphs, which like it a little on the dry side. I use a 20 gallon high tank, with 2-3 bromeliads, usually fireballs and carolinae. I also recently had the pleasure of visiting the island that the green morph is found on, Isla Pastores. Best trip of my life...
p.s. I have some pics of them posted on my website.

I have my green pumilio set up in a similar way. 3 - 4 broms per enclosure. I also select broms that hold a good amount of water. They do seem more bold that the other locale type of pumilio I have in my collection. My particular male is very loud as well.
Thanks,
So do you recommand me getting a mechanical mister or can I get by with hand misting them?
Currently I use a pump sprayer for my frogs, but I will soon have an automated mister. I really think either will work. Yes, it seems pumilio do prefer it a little dryer than others. Deep broms that hold a good amount of water are key. I have a certain specie of brom a friend brought back years ago from Peru. It has produced pups like you wouldn't believe. I got some from him and use them in all my pumilo tanks. ALL my pumilios lay in them even though I keep 3 - 4 other types of broms in the tank. I have no idea of the specie name. Al I know it is a specie from Peru. It is not too thick and ridgid. The 'leaves' are very thin, but wide. Each parent plant produces about 3 pups at a time. It is red/purple in coloration even in poor light and I have yet to have one rot out!
i have not been on this board in a long time. I keep greens as well. I keep them just as described, and have produced 2 clutches of eggs. I get by with just hand spraying all of my frogs, because i can't afford the nice rainmaker system, but I would think it would be so much easier to have it. good luck with your pumilio's. by the way, I use to keep reds,blue jeans and basti's, and have had no success breeding them, the greens seem the easiest to breed, and the most vocal.
