Just a couple of months ago there were a number of red heads imported from a German dealer - Ben's Jungle - into the USA. Some of the frogs arrived DOA and others loaded with parasites. I know for a fact that a couple of members on Dendroboard recieved some.

But this thread wasn't about the legal status of Histrionicus in the USA it was to show my genuine CB redheads - there is a whole can of worms to open if we are to discuss 'legal' frogs! But not in this thread.

Yeah really back on track - so are they siblings or are they from a combo of different pairs?

Hi Chris,

The breeder has several adult pairs which these are a mixture from.
Pity the pond is between us or we could swap some bloodlines.

I'm on the look out for a pair of Lita's - getting them may take a while!
I stripped a viv and have started again with Lita's in mind - I'll post some photos when I get it something like.

Any signs of breeding with yours yet?

Regards
Marcus

I didn't pair the litas up yet but hopefully soon, one of the males has been squawking his brains out lately probably from the weather change.

Yeah if noone there or here winds up breeding theirs and we need to trade redhead froglets it really shouldn't be as hard as it seems, just a matter of getting the people with the permits to ship them to each other - maybe we should work on starting that type of network of faster and easier shipping between the EU and US? (maybe a new thread?)

That's an option well worth thinking about Chris! There are enough people here and over your way with the right papres to make it 'do-able'!

Regards
Marcus

Hi,
here's a quick shot of the viv the redheads are in.
They seem to have settled down well in it.

What do you think?

Regards
Marcus

Yeah looks good and they can probably hide in there really well (especially when you're in their sight), but after about 2-3 months all of a sudden they're going to become a lot bolder
