Melanophryniscus stelzneri
This is my male. He has called in the past, thats how I know his sex.
These guys are only centimeters long, 2 wide, lol. They are the cutest anurans I have, they walk don't jump/hop. Natives of the Pampas region, they are also called Pampas toads, or Bumblebee walking toads. I'll try to take a pic of the other one, which is probably a girl. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...ChePive-01.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...ChePive-02.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...ChePive-03.jpg I call this one, Reflection http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...ChePive-04.jpg |
Where did you get him?? I haven't seen these guys in years!
|
I've had these for almost 4 years now. I got them from a breeder who I do not deal with any more.
|
I've been looking for these guys on and off for a while, though I haven't seen them available for about 5 years or so...hopefully more will pop up sooner or later. If by some means you happen to breed them, be sure to let me know!
|
I will be trying to breed. And yea I'll let you know.
|
That looks really cool. Is this a 'poison arrow frog?' Ive always want to keep some of these but was never allowed by my parents when I was younger. We actually have a population of Dendrobate azureus living wild on Oahu so I could collect my own if I was so inclined. What is you setup like? Any pics of the whole thing?
|
OMG! How cute! At first glance I didn't see anything!

Yea, they look like shadows, haha.
These are not of the family Dendrobatidae. They are however, mildly poisonous toads of South America. In my opinion, cuter. They are diurnal, so just as fun as darts are, but much smaller than a full grown D. auratus or D. azureus. Here is a pic of the setup, which is a relatively humid terrestrial enclosure. |
Looks fabulous!
|
He's adorable and I love the plants he's hiding in! :cloud9:
Way to go, Tin! :clap: |
Gorgeous little creatures. Nice set up Tin :)
|
cute lil bugger!
I like the faux rock pot you have the paph in (2nd tank pic right hand side) -- did you make that or buy it (and if the latter, from where?)? |
Hi,
I got that planter from Black Jungle, an Orchid Board sponsor. But I got them many years ago, and am not sure if they still sell them. I assume they would be quite easy to replicate with some black handy foam. |
Nice shots mate. Do you have an update on the look of your viv? I’ve just set a new viv up in my classroom, and I’m debating the purchase of a few of these guys.
Cheers, Chris |
Hey Grassy!
I don't have a picture update, but I do have news. The moss died back, though its still there, brown. But some parts are greening up again. The Cryptocorynes I planted in there are growing hard recently, and C. pontederifolia is blooming once a month. Also I have the liverwort Conocephalum conicum growing in multiple places. All in all, a good growth period. |
Congrats on the blooming crypts. That's quite an accomplishment! Lets see some pictures! How many toads do you have in there now?
Cheers, Chris |
It's been a while since I've even seen or heard of these.
They're beautiful. |

I have eight now, I just recently bought 5 to add to the original three. I'm really going to try and breed these.
Here are Cryptocoryne cordata and C. pontederifolia |
Good job mate! Those are really cool! Not many people get to see blooms like that.

Thanks. I was seriously excited when they bloomed for the first time, and now they bloom every few weeks. I'm loving it.
