Not really a long time breeder, but still have a decent feel for what's out there.

Mantella cowani, moonshine galactonotus, black auratus, gold auratus, black jeans pumilio, granuliferous, & vincentei to name a few.

If you're considering illegal frogs, then the dude who claimed to have a Monte Iberia Eleuth here a month ago probably takes the cake.

So Castro let a few of those out did he? Lol

Tclipse.... What's that frog in your avatar?

Ranitomeya bombetes, a Colombian Ranitomeya that has not been legally imported to the US. The picture was taken by a Colombian grad student @ the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogota, he was nice enough to email me the photo and let me use it.

I had the opportunity to see these in person while visiting there and they are beautiful frogs.. I would love to own them if they are ever legally imported, but until then I have no interest in keeping them.

To keep this thread positive, maybe we should focus on rare frogs that are here legally... if nothing else it might raise awareness of what is uncommon here but can be obtained without breaking laws/supporting smuggling. If it raises some interest in one or more of those species/morphs,
it's one step towards keeping them from falling out of the hobby....
