D. auratus "Costa Rican Green and Black"

This is the frog I would recommend for anyone who just wants one D. auratus form. They are great beginner frogs, and their bright color and bold temperament make them a great terrarium animal. My animals are descendants of two pairs of wild caught frogs collected in the late eighties. True Costa Rican auratus are not that common these days, and you should make sure to take care not to cross these to other forms of D. auratus.	Photo by Deep Green Photography

Breeding :		Status in Hobby
While best results will probably be achieved in pairs, this frog often can be bred very well in groups. Using a group setting to sex them is also helpful. Set up a group, and allow them to pair off with each other. Separate pairs if desired, or if breeding is not successful.		This particular form of D. auratus is not all that common in the hobby, especially in relation to the many other forms available. Be careful not to breed these to other forms.
