Hello Everyone,
Compared to dart frog keepers, there just don't seem to be as many people interested in the mantellas. Its really too bad! They're colourful, can often take cooler temperatures and are usually significantly cheaper than darts. Part of the problem is availability; Madagascar seems to be forever changing their export regulations for their wildlife and consequently these wonderful frogs are often unavailable. Which is why there should be a bigger push for captive bred supplies. Hopefully more people will try in the future! Here's a pic of one of my three M. expectata. I'd love to find out who else is keeping these frogs. Any successful breeding efforts? Mine call all day long, the female fills up, and they never breed! Oh well, patience is a virtue as they say!
