Mantella Appreciation Thread - Who is keeping them and what species?

[stemcellular]

Lots of Doug Peel mantellas so far...great to see. Let's keep this going, esp. after the weekend DB freeze.

M. ebenaui
M. madagascariensis
M. crocea


Later this season: M. milotympanum and either M. nigricans / M. expectata, or all three depending on time, space, and money. lol

Stemcellular, you didn't post what (if any) luck you have had with breeding any of yours.

[stemcellular]

So far just luck with breeding the laevigata (see my other post detailing egg to tad to froglet, link below) but I'm hopeful that I'll get the pulchra, viridis and madagascariensis to breed this spring...all are quite fat and coming out of winter cycling... .

M. laevigata journal - Egg to tadpole to newly morph!

Sweet link. I am sure it doesn't need to be said, but keep us aprised of the breeding efforts. Could you PM me with where you bought your Mantellas, I would like to get some.

I no longer keep mantellas but Stephen Colbert gave a sort of shout out to them on a re-run today. He was talking about licking frogs to get high and had a picture of an aurantiaca in the top left corner of the screen. Wrong frog but cool.

I'm in the UK, but have 2:2:100+ aurantiaca!

Sold lots, and giving a load to a local zoo.

After other types but dont seem to be available over here.

Very cool, these are some species I have always wanted to try some mantellas. Maybe someday...

[stemcellular]

I'm sure one of us could hook you up, Kyle...
