#Epipedobates anthonyi

[chameleonsynthesis]

Turns out I lied. Not just gonna be doing quick sketches. Today's theme needed colour, so while this is still majority pencil tool, I used it more like a paintbrush.

Amphibiuary Day 02: Red.

Drew an Anthony's poison arrow frog. Sort of. The anatomy is all off but at least the colours are there

Creature Awaits #238

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

We continue this year's Christmas-time theme…"Peppermint" where we'll feature beautiful animals sporting Red and White. : )

The Anthony's Poison Arrow Frog

Scientific Name: Epipedobates anthonyi

Region: The western border between Equador and Peru

Size: Only about 0.7"-1" (~19mm-26mm) long

Interesting Notes: The female of this tiny, peppermint-colored frog will lay her eggs under leaves on the forest floor. The male will then guard them for two weeks until they hatch into tadpoles, and then will carry them on his back to the water they will live in until emerging as fully grown frogs two months later.

#uh just a heads up if you expand the tags to see all there's. a lot. very long #amphibian #frog #poison dart frog #based on my most popular frog to date (day 651) #inspired by everyone pointing out what they think it looks like #here's a fun secret fact the original guy is actually a phantasmal poison dart frog (Epipedobates tricolor) #(according to the original artists title of the drawing) #not Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi) #i feel too awkward to really point it out though because they look the exact same. i cannot tell if there is a difference #im half convinced the same frog was just discovered and named twice #its very curious btw if you go on the (english) wikipedia page for either species it doesn't mention the other #while hereptiles.info (no idea if this is a trustworthy site) lists both names as common names for the same frog (incorrectly??) #while inaturalist lists them as two different frogs. curiously with tricolor having wayyyyy fewer photos #ok anyway that's my rant i went on a whole journey trying to figure out if these are the same frog or not and i have no answer #i did some more 'research' and i am more confused. some sources seem to imply they are now considered the same species ( e. tricolor) #i think my conclusion is i am willing to agree the drawing looks more like e. anthonyi. it seems like tricolor is generally less vibrant re #and the white is darker and more green? #i feel like thumblr should stop me from typing more in the tags at this point this is a whole essay #at this point i am failry convinced this is specifically the Santa Isabel frog. isthat the real subspecies or morph or whatever #or just the name pet sites are using to sell it?? #i even found some sources (frog selling websites) refering to it as “Epipedobates Anthonyi 'Santa Isabel' Phantasmal Poison Dart Frog” lol #Anyways if you read this far hi. species are confusing. i am not a frog scientist #the first few tags are like an hour old now i just kept trying to figure it out and adding more tags

[semianonymity]

Absolutely torn between a pair of Ranitomeya imitator frogs for my vivarium and a small group of Epipedobates anthonyi.

Ranitomeya imitator:

Absolutely STUNNING little jewels

Extremely tiny even by poison dart frog standards! I consider this a significant plus

Territorial, so I can only house 2, a breeding pair

Egg feeders, where the females deposit sterile eggs for the developing tadpoles to eat - EXTREMELY cool behavior

Potentially very shy, part of the reason they're not recommended as a beginner species

Epipedobates anthonyi:

Less brightly colored, but still pretty!

Larger (relatively speaking)

I could keep a small group of 5 or so!

Breeds readily - but no egg feeding

Males perch up high to call, easy to observe!

Recommended as a starter species!

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS TUMBLR FRIENDS

Dart frogs for sale

These frogs occur in several different color patterns. Unlike many other poison dart frogs, this species is semi-arboreal and will often climb above the enclosure floor. They aren’t as toxic as some other dart frogs, but they are dangerous enough to cause human deaths. The green and black dart frogs available in the pet trade are often wild-caught individuals, so care is required when moving or transporting them. They were also introduced to Hawaii in the 1930s to help reduce local mosquito populations. This species has a relatively expansive range relative to many other poison dart frogs, which encompasses a region stretching from Nicaragua and Costa Rica to northern Columbia. And although many advanced keepers eventually move on to other species, this species is typically considered the best one for beginners to choose. The green and black poison dart frog is likely the most commonly kept species in captivity. Green and Black Poison Dart Frog ( Dendrobates auratus) Try to pick the ones that are best suited for your situation and that you find appealing. One of the most appealing aspects of poison dart frogs for amphibian enthusiasts is the diverse array of species that are available.īelow, we’ll provide you with some of the basic information about seven of the most commonly seen species. Instead, the vast majority of poison dart frogs in captivity are members of a handful of genera, including Dendrobates, Phyllobates, Ranitomeya and Epipedobates. However, frogs from most of these genera are not available in the pet trade – at least, not in significant numbers. The currently recognized poison dart frog genera are as follows: Poison dart frogs are all thought to be descendants of a single, ancestral species, but some of the extant species are more closely related to each other than some others are.Īccordingly, scientists place the various species in one of 16 different groups called genera (singular: genus). But these 200-odd species aren’t all equally closely related. Nevertheless, these species are all part of a single group, called the family Dendrobatidae. It’s difficult to identify the exact number of described species, as authorities often differ on some of the minor points of poison dart frog taxonomy. Scientists currently recognize approximately 200 species of poison dart frog. Always Opt for Captive-Bred Specimens When Possible.Reticulated Poison Dart Frog (Ranitomeya ventrimiculata) Bicolor Poison Dart Frog (Phyllobates bicolor) Golden Poison Dart Frog (Phyllobates terribilis) Anthony’s Poison Dart Frog (Epipedobates anthonyi) Yellow-Striped Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates truncates) Dyeing Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) Bumblebee Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates leucomelas) Green and Black Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates auratus)

Phantasmal poison dart frogs (Epipedobates anthonyi) are South American dendrobates that live on forest floors. Males will guard egg clutches laid in leaf litter, and when the tadpoles hatch he will transport them on his back to pools of water.
