Tesoros de Colombia
We are very excited to announce the arrival of the first unquestionably legal, captive bred shipment of Colombian frogs ever. This is the result of nearly a decade’s worth of work by the team at Tesoros de Colombia Sustainable Farm SAS. The hard work and investment of both time and money which has gone into this venture is nearly unfathomable, and we hope that hobbyists will appreciate this opportunity to purchase these wonderful Colombian frogs and support another pioneering best practice business operating within Latin America.
Understory has been involved with Tesoros for nearly 4 years now, mainly on a consultation level. Our role will now shift to being not only the global distributor, but also a breeding partner. We will open up a great deal of space in our facility in Canada to enhance the production capacity of this endeavour. By Understory undertaking to reproduce these species as well, space and resources in Colombia can be better appropriated towards working with additional species, rather than continual production of already familiar but still desirable species. Colombian frogs, bred at the facility of UE in Canada will be distributed globally, and a full 50% of these sales are entitled to Tesoros. This will help ensure them a competitive place in the market, and ensure long term viability of this ground-breaking effort.
The obvious question now is which species are available? For now we offer a very limited number of striking, F1 yellow Dendrobates truncates, from Nilo, Colombia. The colours are a vivid electric yellow, and the frogs really are quite stunning, and they are locality specific!
