Man, Ive been trying for years to get some Gonatodes... mind sharing your source? Those are Gonatodes albogularis fuscus if memeory serves me correctly. Theyre a tropical animal with mostly terrestrial tendencies.

EDIT:come to think of it I think G a. fuscus has more of a blackish green body, those are probably G. albogularis.
 
Hi Nathat

As already mentioned on a British forum i find the female pictures quite like the female albogularis i found on a trip to Costa Rica. It seems that the females of Gonatodes on a large parts are quite equal in apperance.

hi everyone,
thanks for your replies. i've now confirmed with numerous sources that they are indeed Gonatodes albogularis. the females of most gonatodes species do in fact look similar to the pics posted around the internet of G. vittatus. the males have brightened considerably (de-stressed) since posting the above pics and do exhibit a lighter area similar to the stripe seen on the female...this is quite faint though. the source of these was an importer here in canada...i'm sure they get most of their animals from importer/exporter operations in florida.
i'll keep you posted if i have luck with breeding etc.
thanks again everyone,
nathan
