lucomelas Breeding

[tjohnston02]

How old do luco frogs need to be to start breeding? HOw old are they went they start calling? the same age as when they breed? Also what age can you start sexing them..the female is larger then the male?

Around 1 year old. Only the males call(I think). You sex them by their toads, check out this forum http://www.dendroboard.com

what are immators?

[Austin]

It's another type of dart frog. I'm afraid you have the spelling wrong on that. I don't know how to spell it either but its not immators.

Dendrobates leucomelas, most experienced keepers will grudgingly admit that these frogs are the hardest to accurately sex by their features. Most rely on the males calling to positively identify sex. The females tend to be bigger, but that can be flawed with actual age, feeding and environment.

Males can begin calling as early as 5 or 6 months but females tend to take a year or more to reach sexual maturity.

Mist real heavy... wait 10 min and turn the speakers up.

My Leucs are so interested in the second call.
