Big Eye Tree Frog/Peacock Tree Frog/Leptopelis Vermiculatus

Has anyone tried to breed or have been successful to breed Leptopelis Vermiculatus? They are Big Eyed Tree Frogs aka Peacock Tree Frogs from Tanzania. I have a group consisting of 1 female and 4 males, have built a rain chamber, and have been unsuccessful so far. I have never heard of CB peacocks and I would love to take the strain off the wild caught ones by getting CB going. In the meantime, I was considering adding to the frog colony and getting 3-4 more females and 6-8 more males since I have a 100 gallon paludarium dedicated to just them. Thinking a larger group would have more potential.... If anyone has tried, or has any info regarding breeding them I would love to know/see pics! These frogs are have been my main focus for 6 years now and it would be great to know there are other people out there that have a strong interest in them too

I have no first hand experience but have done a bit of reading about them.

People have bred them in captivity, at least one person in Finland for sure. All frogs of that genus lay their eggs in sloped soil and wait for the rain to wash the tads into the water, so if you are using a water base for your rainchamber thats no good.

Cycling (season mimicry) and barometric pressure also seem to have a lot to do with it, with the frogs seeming to have a preference for a vapor rather than rain for the humidity.

Mat.

I too am fascinated with this family...but I have L. Uluguruensis...they are adorable. I have three calling males and am looking for females...very hard to come by. From the little I've read, they burrow backwards and deposit the eggs...and when they "hatch" they wriggle their way to water. It was recommended that 1/3 of the viv be water...hard to find anything about them..and I would also love to have a breeding colony. Good Luck...
