Aww, that's unfortunate. If the rumors about Colombia opening up are true, could it be a possibility that you would get a chance to work with them?Colombian, pretty sure any specimans in captivity would be of questionable origin. One of my personal favorites, unfortunately a species I will never get to work with.
No, that looks like the anchicaya frog, which is a naturally ocurring hybrid between histos and lehmanni. I believe it is a yellow lehmanni and a redhead histo, but I'm not 100% sure about the specifics.Is this a subspecies of R. bombetes? This is a frog I would really like to work with! (In my dreams...)

Damn.... I don't want that... Thanks Bryan! The image was lumped into a google image search, and was titled R. bombetes, I was hoping it was legit, oh well!No, that looks like the anchicaya frog, which is a naturally ocurring hybrid between histos and lehmanni.

Leave it to me to desire 2 of the most rarely kept frogs in the hobby in hybrid form.... What a fool I am!No, that looks like the anchicaya frog, which is a naturally ocurring hybrid between histos and lehmanni.

No I think lots of people wouldn't mind getting the chance to have some. I like almost all of the histos and sylvatica morphs, hopefully someday I'll be able to work with some.Leave it to me to desire 2 of the most rarely kept frogs in the hobby in hybrid form.... What a fool I am!

they are, of course, being sold in the EU, for about $1K each.yeah came acros the movie while searching a bit. and it was a species of ranitomeya i never heared about so i was curious if they were available in the states.
if they are going to be imported is the question. after a long search i came on some info, and they seem to be a dangered species if they aren't extinct by now.
