Tindomul, I'm not near the Pampas, Corrientes is more at north in a region called "Mesopotamia" that is a group of provinces that are surrounded by three rivers (Iguazú river, Paraná river, and Uruguay river). It has got a warmer climate than the region of Pampas and little it higher from sea level.

The red one is Corrientes, and Mesopotamia is conformed by Corrientes, the one that is above, and the one that is down.

Thank you thank you,

The reason I ask is because I am always curious about the homeland of my favorite toads/sapos. Melanophryniscus stelzneri. I have to ask, have you ever seen these amazing creatures?

WOW Tindomul those are really beautifull!

I've never seen one of these, so colorful. I usually see some frogs or toads but not so unusual. Are those poisonous?

Do you "grow" some of these beauties at home? (sorry, I don't know how to say "criar" or "tener en cautiverio". I hope you understand)

Hi Fabrizio,

Si, yo entiendo, to criar, is to keep in captivity, or husbandry.
Yes I do keep them, and their genus is from your part of the world. I was kinda wishing that you knew of them and who sells them. Lol. But anyway, thanks for looking. Can't wait to see you around the forum. Yes they are poisonous.
