Hi Fellow Froggers!
I just got back into the hobby (lifestyle) after some years off.
In the past, I used to sterilize my collected leaf litter of any parasites by baking in in the oven. I'm sure that a lot has changed over the years and from reading posts on this forum, there are members out there who can answer this question for me.
How do YOU GUYS do it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Mike

Hello, I have two different 16" 20 Watt LEDs for sale. Thyere incredibly bright, you will be surprised! Both have been proven to grow moss & retain/reestablish Brom color exceptionally well. I have about a year of feedback on these LEDs now & its overwhelmingly positive. My 6500K 20 Watt LED & mixed spectrum version are around 16" long, Screw into any standard socket & swivel after installation for easy angling of the light downward like many on the market. These LEDs are capable of illuminating 36"T X 24" X24" enclosures! The LEDs are covered for a year against malfunction by me. The Folius mounts are a great, stylish, inexpensive & simple way to use an led the properly, without trapping heat in a hood which can cause the products life to shorten drastically. Please message me on Dart Den or email me here with any questions: idris2279@yahoo.com , hope all is well, :mrgreen:

16" 6500K 20 Watt LED is $35 (with $3 off every light after 3)

| ideas on managing limited founders stock Dendrobates tinctorius "Lorenzo" |

So I've been thinking for a while on how best to manage limited founders stock for more uncommon morphs. For me, this is Dendrobates tinctorius "Lorenzo" where there are currently only two consistent sources of froglets in North America - Understory Enterprises (2008 import) and Herpetologic (UE and "old line"). I have 1.3 from Sean (2013), 2.0 from UE (2009), and 0.0.4 from UE (2015). My current groupings are:
- 2014A-1ss.2ss – 1.2 Stewart (UE x Gagliardo) broken up
- 2014B-2ue.1ss – 2.1 UE males with Stewart female broken up
- 2015C-1ss.1ss – original A group reduced to 1.1 Stewart animals
- 2015D-1ue.1ss – original B group reduced to 1.1 UE male with Stewart female
- 2015E-1ue.1ss – dominant UE male paired with dominant SS female
I plan on breaking up 2015C when the 0.0.4 from UE grow out and can be sexed. At that point I will group non-sibling animals and that should give me 4 pairs or groups of animals to work with. I thought that would be sufficient to get me to the point where I can sell groups of 4 non-sibling froglets to help get folks started in breeding Lorenzo on their own.
However, after doing more reading, I'm wondering if I should also consider rotating males year over year - I don't have amphibian references to cite, but in other breeding programs pairs were rotated to improve diversity. Am I over thinking this, or would some kind of rotation help strengthen the available genetics? Perhaps this is futile, but as a lay person and by no means a biologist I would like others input on managing severely limited lines of animals. I'd imagine this would be applicable to any population or species, I'm just using Lorenzo as an example.
