im thinking about buying one of these guys(phylomedusa bicolor,giant monkey tree frog).they are really cool and i would like to try breeding them,so i am looking for a pair.i have noticed that only males are ever offered for sale.is there a reason for this? i know that they are wild caught,so is it that males are easy to catch due to their singing?or are there just less females period?.also i have a question about poison arrow frogs.it is said that when they are raised in captivity,they lose their poison(due to not eating a variety or insects,only crickets).has anyone ever read anywhere a study that may have been done where they are feed a special diet(an assortment or wild caught insects)where they actually do produce poison in captivity?im just curious about this.thanks a bunch

The book POISON FROGS, W. Schmidt and FW Henkel (Professional Breeders Series) contains a chapter on Dendrobatid toxin by Prof. Dr. Dietrich Mebs that gives a lot of the current information on dart frog toxins. You can purchase this through:
