    Taipei Zoo adds three reptile species - Taipei Times

    (Excuse the title of the article)

    Taipei Zoo is introducing golden mantella frogs, yellow-banded poison dart frogs and rough knob-tailed geckos as part of its conservation efforts of endangered amphibious reptiles, the zoo said on Wednesday.

    The species are part of a genetic diversification program with Singapore Zoo and arrived in Taiwan on March 16, it said.

    Yes it is Nephrurus amyae. This species (and the 2 poison frog species) have bred well at Singapore Zoo. Do you know what are the 4 poison frog species being sent to Singapore?
