Why???? Because I respect them too much and would have a hard time loosing such a beautiful/wonderful creature. There are other breeders/hobbyists who are more successful than I am with egg feeders & obligates.

These are not frogs that should go to the highest bidder but to the hobbyists - breeders with the most skill.

Wish there was a none on the poll - because not everyone "HAS" to own the rare frogs - or have any desire to until they are established.

Just my 2 cents...

very well said i agree

Green granuliferous' are at the top of my list

Well, I picked something from the list, just to participate in the poll, but I see I need to contact almazan

If I named what I really covet, it would be Retics and Escudo.

There are legal histrionicus in the hobby so I'm not sure why this was posed if you could aquire a legal breeding pair....

None of those...
I would be interested in some species I have wanted for really long time
Gastrotheca cornuta
Rhinoderma darwinii

Female Atelopus spumarius hoogmoedi

Right on with the Darwin's frog Ed, I made a trade years ago in which i was supposed to get some of those back, 11 years later still waiting....mine were going to go to the cool room at the Cincy Zoo.
I would have to say that Sirensis or Bombetes would top my list with yellow Lehmanni following those. Farm raised environment sustaining frogs would be Veradero Imitator and Benedicta, both of which will be available next year from Understory.

Hey Ed
Yeah I know that there are still a few hanging around, but even if you could find some Im sure that they would cost an arm, a leg and a left ear....

There are also blue Granuliferous, I saw them years ago at the Aquarium of the America's. Ian Hiler was working with them, Ian was probably the best frog breeder i ever met. I believe he is also the reason aquariums can keep jelly fish alive in display's due to his design work, now there's a guy worthy of a chat forum!!!
