Hi.

I just went to Costa Rica and had the chance to see the dendrobates in their habitat, unfortunatelly I did not had the chance to use the flash and it was getting late, but to see them jumping in live was wonderful. The hotel were I stayed have this "frog farm" but is still under construction, the good thing was that the guy in charge allowed me to take a look.

This is the place

Wow, that is so awesome. My dream is to go to South America (Costa Rica, Panama, and Peru) to go frog hunting. I would love to see them in their natural habitat. Thanks for sharing. And kudos on the covert ops:D

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
