I can't imagine what they go for now. As a matter of fact, I haven't even seen them offered for sale anywhere. No one wanted them back then. They were a little ugly brown frog with yellow flash marks. Its is funny how times change.

 I am sure that there a few out there in private collections, but I also know that these frogs are not readily available now, actually almost non-extinct. That's what happens when frogs are no longer popular and not brought back into circulation. They can be lost forever. On my radio show with Joshsfrogs.com we talk about that. I know in UK and Europe, and once Mark Lucas had them, but only once, they have shown to be around in 2005, but now have disappeared completely again. BUT in recent years, as of 2007-8 my buddy was literally the only one. I know there was a guy claiming that he had some but when my buddy asked him questions about housing, breeding, etc. the gentleman had no idea what he was doing and probably killed them off, as my buddy wanted to buy all of them. Never heard or saw that guy again. Unfortunately now, the frogs he had were old and died, but they were posted on Dendrobroad and he was producing froglets in pretty good quantities. The reason why I say to others that these frogs were/are expert frogs is that when they are froglets right out of water, they barely fit on the head of Eisenhower's head on the dime. If you have temp fluxuations, quick humidity changes and not enough food present at all times, they die quickly within hours and you are left with the adults all over again. I frustrating process but a really neat one at that. I can understand why they "really" no longer on the market. Sux that the chocolates tricolors aren't on the market as well as this is not a frog that is as easy as their cousins the SI. But that's how this all goes. My buddy has been into the hobby for 12+ years Marc, I bet you guys get along very well. LOL

That's very unfortunate that frogs can disappear like that in just a matter of decade hopefully newly discovered frogs that go into the trade won't go through that trend... Nevertheless it does happen to the best of frogs you can say... I would also agree with you Merek that a froglet the size of a dime head would be hard to raise if you didn't know what you were doing....

That's like tricolor froglets. They are lil peanuts, and need plenty of springtails right out the water.
