Microcosm 2014

I really enjoyed being part of the Treewalkers crew this year and helping make Microcosm happen. My press release got us on two morning news shows and this one couldn't have turned out better. Mike Ready and I were dying of laughter in the green room! Sadly the embed code won't work in blogger so here's a link.

 



 

Though I didn't have as much time to mingle and check out the vendors while working, I still walked away with some pretty amazing finds. I picked up a couple cemetery Bastimentos from Adam Butt for the second time. This fantastically spotted Basti was just too hard to pass up.





And since Adam was kindof pairing him up with this girl, who later turned out to be a rather aggressive male, I just grabbed both. Crossing my fingers that the kiddo above actually turns outs to be a girl. This house is already far too male heavy!!!



Traded a "Rambala" pumilio towards this proven group of Aurotaenia. So excited to finally pick these frogs up. Best call ever!  



Hopefully I can catch the call on video soon! Click here for a Youtube video from Stemcellular Ray. Unfortunately Blogger is unable to find the video in their search. So annoyed!

Thanks to the Salt Creek pumilio I brought, I also picked up a group of Epipedobates Pasaje-Sarayunga el Oro from Tor Linbo who, along with Todd Kelley, kindly allowed me to share a vendor table and attempted to help sell the small group of pumilio I brought along. These frogs are fast and shy right now making it hard to get good photos, but also were on the have-to-have list for their amazing call.

Not sure if this Rio Branco pumilio is looking at it's reflection or beyond the glass, but it made for fun photos.

This guy calls constantly!



And the reason for today's calling...tad feeding.

Pretty Basti Kid

This little fine spot froglet has turned out pretty nice. Hoping it's a female to pair up with my extra male.

A Different Shade of Cristobal

Two Cristobal offspring. The little one on the right came out pretty red for a Cristo and has kept its color. It'll be fun to see it in about 3-5 years.

Newest Fine Spot Bastimentos

A couple new fs Basti babies came out of the water recently and this time I finally got legs like dad. Mom is of course gorgeous too, but just not quite as striking. Here they are with one from the previous group, that looks like mom, towards the back.
