    Last week I paid my 6th visit to De Oliemeulen and finaly found the last missing amphibian-species on display !
    29 - Three-striped poison frog - Ameerega trivittata

    20190709_160502 ameerega trivittatus.jpg

    In the weekend I visited Berkenhof's Tropical Zoo after a break of 2 years and hoped to find some new species for the Challenge because they used to have several species not seen sofar this year but the final result was just 1 new species - which I already had seen at several reptile-fairs and pet-shops this year but the ones at Berkenhof's Tropical Zoo were the first this year on public view and so now I can add them to the list :
    30 - Mossy frog - Theloderma corticale

    IMG_6597 Mossy frog - theloderma corticale.jpg

    Next to the several adult animals there were also several aquariums with loads of tadpoles :).
    At Berkenhof's I missed 2 species which would have been new for me for the Challenge - both signed but I wasn't able to find them in their enclosures :
    - Pied warty frog - Theloderma asperum
    - Chimbo rocket frog - Hyloxalus infraguttatus ( free-living in the Butterfly-hall )_.
