FINALLY! After years of having my 2007 red Rio Branco pumilio, I have success! It got to a point that I finally figured that they were just too old. After all, they were originally wild caught so who knows how old they were when they were imported, add to that the almost five years they've been in captivity.... But today I went to feed and I saw a little guy (which I originally thought was my female). It looks pretty big to me, I'm guessing about two months out of the water, but it's still got some coloring up to do. It's not like a typical brand new froglet which is nervous to come out of its brom axil. It was foraging in the leaf litter. Anyway, enough of me venting my excitement, it's time for some pictures (what crappy pictures I could get... I grabbed the worse of my two point-and-shoots before it ran out of sight).





(I already have a taker for this and the next few froglets out... please don't PM me about availability).

Got home from date night and started the build on the new viv.. I guess if I can't get the parents back I'll take lil ones! Good work brother!

Are you planning on leaving this lil guy in with the parents, or outside rearing?

Maybe I am a bit too speculative, but I would keep my eyes on the leaf litter and brom axils for a bit, and maybe reintro some springs as a supplemental boost. Just in case there are more un-noticed/on the way, !

Congrats to you, it must be quite pleasing after the wait! Best of luck toward the continued success as well!

He'll be hanging in the parent enclosure for a while.

I'm hoping for more. It got to a point that I really stopped paying attention to this tank, but I had some froggers over not too long ago and these guys are usually a spectacle. The female is rather bold and looks a bit like a white-foot sylvaticus, but half the size. They noticed that she had ascended and descended the forty gallon vert three times in their twenty or thirty minutes in the frog room. They figured something was going on.... Let's hope your speculations are right.

Very nice Jake! I hope to get some of these some day. Hopefully by then I'll have the option to work with F2's or 3's.

Where there's one there's more Hopefully!
