Yeah, Tatama is another name (and unless I'm mistaken, is the locale of) the "Bullseye" morph.



In the case of occultator, the locale is smack in the middle of an area with a good amount of paramilitary activity, so it's hard enough to get in there in the first place.... and then comes the difficulty of finding the frogs. There are a couple of articles floating around that talk about that. I asked him about it while we were chatting yesterday and this is what he said:

We have it in the lab, I think it arrived after your visit, but it's the only captive specimen we know about and some localities are really difficult to get to because of the security issues

My guess would be they only found one specimen and couldn't stick around for an extended period of time.

The 3rd Lehmanni is a Histo, a saddleback which come in as many colors as you could imagine. The brown body is a dead give away as most of that type have the brown base color.

the occultator is definately a favorite of mine and of course the sylvaticas being the dream frogs....and a table full of drool.

that's the first time I see actual close up shots of the andinobates. Very charming markings on them. The photos definately show alot about them thank you for sharing

And has no white feet, a typical lehmani trait

So these are all specimens they are keeping and breeding? Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

As I thought, if a mod wants to move it feel free... as I said earlier looks like a typical saddleback but isn't a color I've seen in any morph guides before.

I was mistaken on the last auratus, got confused by that head pattern. It is actually Panamanian (photo taken at "Lago Bayano").
