Epipedobates anthonyii hail from Ecuador and are a striking mid size frog.  Females are slightly over one inch long with males running smaller.  We obtained our zaparo from Tor Linbo at IAD in May 2007 and Darren Meyer at Northwest Frog Fest in July 2007.  The 4 zaparo from Tor are being housed in a 20 gallon long viv while Darren's zaparo are still in their 190 oz. deli cup quarantine containers.

Update September 15, 2007 - We heard the first calling from the vivarium containing the 4 zaparo in early September and were rewarded a few days later with a large clutch of what turned out to be fertile eggs.  The tadpoles are developing nicely and should be hatching soon.
