"Yellow Belly" pumilio was a phenotypic name given to a single 2006 importation of these into FLA that were bought up by Johnny Machiato [This Island Herp] and resold. I have 4 of the originals as did a number of locals to New England where Johnny lived.
Johnny is no longer in the frog hobby.
LATER, a number of importations of "Cayo de Aqua" came into the US.
Rich Frye I believe commented at the time that 'again' they were being sight named [not site named].
Sorta like the fake Bri Bri of 2011, aka red 'El Dorado'. Whatever 'sells' the frog.....
doesnt mean they arent 'Cayo de Aqua' but then again....who's to say
