Keywords: locating CB Moraspunga E. tricolor, D. amazonicus, M. betsileo, and H. marmoratus

Hi. I know of only one place that sells moraspunga tricolor, and that is Sean Stewart. Sean Stewart will not have Moraspunga tricolor froglets until the fall, hopefully, and only hopefully. Tor Limbo supposedly also has them, but does he sell them to anybody that inquires? How do you contact him?

I know of nobody that has bred D. amazonicus, or red ventrimaculatus. Tincs.com owns one male, but whether or not they have bred them is another story.

I know of one place that did sell cb Mantella betsileo, but can't seem to locate them now. Also, there were no refunds for DOAs. This is a species that has just recently been more imported in specialty herp shops.

As far as Hyperolius marmoratus, I've only been able to find cb H. mitchelli at various places like Aaron's Frog Farm. But no H. marmoratus in US of America.

Anybody have any advice on where to find these fabulous frogs?

2.0.0 firebellied toads
1.1.0 clawed frogs
0.0.1 Surinam cobalt tinctorius, high lime green

Plus goldfish, parakeets, guppies and lots and lots of carnivorous plants, mostly Sarracenia.

As for the pitcher plants I grow 7 or so species that should produce many, many devisions this spring. As well as some temperate sundews and 2 temperate terristrial bladder worts. If you are interested we could work something out, assuming you are in the US. E-mail me if you are interested and will provide more details.

John Gibeau (tincs.com) has a very prolific trio of red amazonicus. He has quite a few tadpoles right now. Amazonicus is also bred by many other people like Tor Linbo, Todd Kelly and Patric Nabors. Tor has quite a few different lines, he will only sell frogs after they are well established in his collection. Amazonicus are one of the most common thumbnails right now. John Gibeau has all the reed frogs you mentioned and is raising tadpoles now.

Ok, if tincs.com and Patrick have them, they must have not posted them on their "What's breeding now" part of their site. Same goes for hyperolius marmorata. Are they specialty orders? How much do they cost?

As you said Tor Limbo actually sells frogs, I could definitely see if he could sell me moraspunga tricolors, as he has several different morphs. This is the frog that I must have first before I consider the other options. I would pick Salvias tricolor still before I take my other choices of betsileo, amazonicus, or marmoratus.

Has anyone actually bought frogs from Tor Limbo? What's his methods of selling them?

You can see some great pictures of John's amazonicus on the frognet photo gallery. They are very prolific. Tor sells quite a few frogs, but mostly at shows. Jon Werner has salvias tricolor and should be breeding them soon.
