When my frogs travel, their safety is the top priority. I am focused on the details.

-I only send frogs out when temperatures are ideal at all stops along their trip. This means that they only travel during the spring and fall.
-All flights are next-day.
-I use top-quality shipping materials that are appropriate for the weather. This includes insulated boxes and at least one Phase-22 pack, which keeps the temperatures perfect for the frogs. These packs are completely reusable, so you can keep them for the next occasion where you might have to transport your frogs!
-I never use heat packs inside of the box, as they can overheat or use up the oxygen.
-Frogs are packed inside of little deli cups. Air-holes are melted into the sides of the cups, to avoid sharp edges. The cup also contains plant clippings that act as a shock absorber, should the package encounter turbulence. I do not put sphagnum moss in the cups, because a couple of my friends who have previously received frogs packed this way reported that the mat of sphagnum shifted in transit, creating a potentially dangerous situation. A sq**rt of water, along with the plant clippings, provides plenty of humidity for the trip.
-If there is extra room in the box, and I have extras, I like to include extra goodies, such as plant clippings from my terrariums or a small springtail culture.

This spring was the first time that my Phyllobates bicolor (standard 'green leg' morph) bred for me. There are several things about the early life stages of this frog that are different than all of the Dendrobates species that I have worked with (auratus, tinctorius, leucomelas):
-The bicolors' eggs are smaller than other similar-sized Dendrobates', the tadpoles hatch at a smaller size, and also morph at a smaller size.
-The bicolors' tadpoles swim with a tighter and more rapid tail-oscillation. They are also slightly paler in color than other tadpoles that I have reared.
-As the bicolor tadpoles enter the final stages of metamorphosis, their hind legs turn a brilliant shade of blue-green and they develop a crest of orange, both of which are retained upon emergence. Over the next 4+ months, however, the black on the back fades into the orange crest and the legs change shade to the distinct dark-olive color. This is also unlike any Dendrobates frog that I have worked with, where the general color and pattern at metamorphosis is retained through adulthood.

I have five juvenile Turquoise and Bronze Auratus. These beautiful frogs are about 9 months old, very healthy, and are always out-and-about in their tank. Unfortunately, I don't have room to house them over the winter! Please send me a message to discuss.
