Odds & Ends for February 02/19/2012
It's been a very busy month at CDF. We have many new frogs available and sales have picked up considerably. As usual, space is at a premium in the frog room. If some of you have been following along on our red trivittatus tads, they are doing quite well. You may recall that we lost all of our tads last year. I believe this was because the clutch was so big and as a result, the tads too small. The clutch was smaller this time, at 18 eggs and the tads are much larger. They are sprouting rear legs now, so it won't be long before they are ready to go into their new vivarium, which is heavily seeded with various springtails. You may have noticed we have had a good number of pumilios available, including cristobals and popas. We are now working directly with an importer of farm raised frogs from Panama. They have been very healthy adults, beautifully colored, eating well and include calling males. We will be getting in more within a couple of weeks and hope to have some other pumilio species as well. We have also been working with Marcus Breece, who many of you know is considered one of the foremost experts in dart frogs. He has provided us with a number of tinctorius species that we do not breed ourselves. Marcus has spent many years breeding for the healthiest, most colorful dart frogs available in the hobby. We have somer absolutely gorgeous bakhuis, bicolor, alanis and matechos currently available. Another fairly new addition for CDF is "Turkish Glider" melanogaster fruit flies. They are larger than the standard d. melanogster and seem to reproduce in greater numbers. Please stop by our booth at the Repticon Columbia SC show, March 10 & 11 at the Jamile Temple. We will have a larger than usual assortment of frogs available, as well as fruit fly cultures, cork bark tubes, horizontal and vertical ten gallon Eco Vivs and many supplies. I will also be giving a demonstration on building vivariums. In April/May, you can find us at Repticon Baltimore and The Raleigh Reptile & Exotic Animal Show. That's It for now.
