I just wanted to post some pictures of my Fine Spot Bastimentos groups. This is a shootoff of Mark's thread - http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/members-frogs-vivariums/67493-red-frog-beach-bastis.html
I don't have any exact locality information for these frogs. The original frogs were imported by Seaside Reptiles in 2004, and purchased by a former New England frogger who recently moved to warmer confines
. I acquired a group of three F1 juvies produced by him back in '06. They quickly became my favorite frogs - and still even with a large collection of pumilio - are still my favorites. My F1 trio are a good breeding group - and have produced a sizable number of froglets for me over the past few years. The pattern on the frogs is very regular - with large numbers of small spots that sometimes almost from a reticulated patter in some frogs. The frogs are generally a deep orange to red depending on the individual - although the WC frogs are a paler orange. I don't supplement with color enhancers much beyond the supplements included in the Repashy Calcium plus ICB and occasional Naturose.
I am a very strong supporter of the fact that you can't visually ID the locality of pumilio. These frogs came in during the 2004 bastimentos imports - and that is what they are. Unfortunately, there aren't too many remaining 2004 Bastis that I can locate to try and enhance the bloodline. But if anyone has any - please let me know. But, there are features of the produced frogs that is reminiscent of Bastis from Red Frog Beach.
Now for the pictures (the color is a little less bright than they appear in person - but I didn't want to do any manipulation of any of the photos beyond cropping):
2004 WC Male
2004 WC Female
F1 Male
F1 Female 1
F1 Female 2
F2 Juvies (current offspring)
Prior F2 offspring produced
