This fantastic Journey through Ecuador, Peru and Colombia by Siegfried P. Christmann is a 3 volume set with 100's of pictures. The book generously covers Dendrobatids from these regions but takes it a step further with additional images on habitats, regions and other fauna and flora. Alkso included are pictures and descriptions of the Epipedobates tricolor morphs and behavior, the Quinquevitattus group (imitator, ventrimaculatus, fantasticus, intermedius, amazonicus, duellmani, reticulatus, lamasi, variabilis, etc) and the Histrionicus group as well. This is a wonderful departure from other publications on dart frogs with many photos of very rare frogs!
Volume I - This volume deals mainly with the species Epipedoabtes tricolor in all its colour forms showing in detail its habitat and other reptiles and amphibians present within the region including other Dendrobatids. A comprehensive section at the end of the book deals with their captive husbandry. 184 pages
Volume II - This superb volume deals mainly with the Dendrobates quinquevittatus group including D. ventrimaculatus, lamasi, imitator, variable, reticulatus, quinquevittatus, & fantasticus. There are a superb selection of photos of both frogs and habitat as well as narrative. Again there is a comprehensive section at the end of the book dealing with their captive husbandry. 254 pages
Volume III - The final volume is concerned with the Dendrobates histrionicus group including D. histrionicus, lehmanni, sylvaticus, occulatator & mysteriosus as well as brief sections on other species.
