Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

U.S CBB Dendrobates tinctorius Tumucumaque
U.S. CBB Peacock Dyeing Dart Frogs (Dendrobates tinctorius Tumucumaque).
These frogs are a very unique morph of D. Tinctorius not commonly found in the US. They will get a lot of different tones of blue with black spots and their distinctive yellow on their nose, eyebrows, elbows, and knees. These froglets hatched and morphed here in my facility from a personal breeding pair which came from a CBB stock that was imported from Europe.
I currently have 4 froglets available at $200 each plus shipping. Local pickup in Miami/Hialeah FL also allowed.
For more info about them or their parents, please message me either here through Fauna, @Granexotics on Instagram, or text me at (305) 970-4913

Well, laundered into "legality". All specimens of this morph that are now outside Brazil are or are descended from animals smuggled out of Tumucumaque Mountains National Park; the morph was discovered about 2004, two years after the park was established. CITES doesn't distinguish morphs, so these get through the cracks.
Usually they get through the cracks, anyway -- here's a case where a similar situation (CITES permitted CB animals from Europe) got remedied: https://medium.com/usfws/rare-splash...l-f280bc469303
As in the galactonotus case, they're still illegal under Lacey because of the smuggling. This is all just info for potential buyers, who I assume you want to have all the relevant info since I assume you're a reputable seller.

They arrived as Dendrobates tinctorius “Yellow Blue” Tumucumaque”, not just simply Dendrobates tinctorius.

I’m not sure if you happen to be familiar with tarantulas, but have you heard about the Brazilian Jeweled Tarantula (Typhochlaena seladonia)? That species had the nearly the same exact predicament where a beautiful Brazilian species was smuggled as there are no known legal exports of this and brought over to several countries, including many places in Europe, and is also included in the Lacey act. Many breeders bred this species in Europe and also (most) legally exported them to the U.S., where many hobbyists and reputable breeders here also begun to breed them. While they’re still technically illegal here in the U.S. (as is apparently the same case as the Tumucumaque), many people already have this species in the U.S. from CB & CBB lines that are quite far from the original smuggled line. On top of that, USFWS isn’t confiscating either species according to fellow breeders as there’s so many of both already here in the U.S. that it would be near impossible to confiscate them all. I also heard they’re going to ban imports of those species (among many others) while making a policy to grandfather in those specimens that are already here. My main point in all of this is regardless of their status being originally smuggled, since they’re already breeding and well established here it’s our duty as breeders to make sure this species thrives in our car by creating lineages of captive bred & born specimen to prevent people from further smuggling them into the U.S. I’m sure many would agree that’s the best course of action instead of having to confiscate all the hundreds (if not thousands) of specimens and export all those CB back to Brazil, or more likely they would simply euthanize them all.

Just to confirm to potential buyers, you've realized that these claims from the person who sold your stock to you are false, correct?
"a personal breeding pair which came from a CBB stock that was legally imported from Europe. "
"The particular pair that I have bred (including another 21 that the distributor I originally bought them from received) were also investigated and were cleared by USFWS. They arrived as Dendrobates tinctorius “Yellow Blue” Tumucumaque”, not just simply Dendrobates tinctorius. "

The only claim that I was unfortunately unable to prove was I could not get any of the original documentation of the shipment my personal pair (along with another 20) came in. Do keep in mind I purchased my personal pair from Frogs Direct over 4 years ago and I’m not entirely surprised that the importer he wholesaled them from no longer has any documentation because it’s been so long. I never asked for them to begin with because I trusted the seller and had no reason to be wary. The offspring are indeed CBB as the parents are also CBB. They were originally imported from Europe as there’s tons of CBB Tumucumaque in Europe, unlike in the U.S where they’re only starting to come into the hobby by the thousands now with many breeders being successful with them. Regardless if the original progeny were smuggled, there’s hundreds, potentially way more of them here now in the U.S alone and us as breeders have a duty to keep them flourishing in the hobby as to prevent any (although highly unlikely) smuggling of this species in the future.

You've mentioned "CBB" nine times in this thread, and seem to think it makes a difference but it does not. Perhaps take a look at the link I shared in this post to see why these are illegal in the US, and why people shouldn't buy them, and why people shouldn't sell them.
