Bumble bee toads (Melanophryniscus) are a highly sought after species among amphibian enthusiasts. Yet, they are notorious for being only sporadically available. Thankfully tonight's guest has figured out a way to breed them both successfully and consistently. It's my pleasure to be joined tonight by Laura Abrtaham of ARTphibians LLC, and we discuss how she breeds her toads, how to care for them in captivity, and the importance of proper diet and supplementation. Follow Laura on Instagram @lauraslittlezooFor Cool AmphibiCast Merch check out https://the-amphibicast-store.creator-spring.com/

Tonight I am joined by fellow dart frog enthusiast, Brandon Willis. Brandon originally started out in the plant hobby after being inspired by bonsai trees. He went on to develop his own unique style of building vivariums and then found an interest in dart frogs. Brandon is also an active National Guardsman who does many of his builds during his free time while on deployment.  We also discuss some cost effective vivarium hacks and how to source materials from places that many people overlook. Be sure to follow Brandon @lost.vivariums on instagramIf you'd like to support the show by becoming a Patron, please check out https://www.patreon.com/AmphibicastFor Coll AmphibiCast Merch check out https://the-amphibicast-store.creator-spring.com/
