Melanophryniscus stelzneri

[andrew]

Bumble bee toad, Pampas toad, Red-bellied toad.
Anyone ever kept this frog before? I had the misfortune of buying a sick one for 10 dollars at a local pet store a few years ago. It died the next day and have been looking for them ever since. Would appreciate stories, success stories, where you got them etc... Plus keeping.
Thanks.
