Keeping And First Breeding Record Of Bourret’S Box Turtle Cuora Galbinifrons Bourreti, Obst And Reimann, 1994, With Comments On Its Conservation Status, Edgar Lehr, Joachim Fiebig
Edgar Lehr
A group of Bourret's box turtles were obtained from the animal trade in central Vietnam in 1993. Although eggs were recorded in captivity since 1994, successful breeding was first achieved in 1998. Three clutches each containing one egg were laid between March and June 1998 and one clutch of two eggs was laid in 1999. The eggs had an average length of 55.4 mm and an average width of 30.0 mm. At a temperature of 24-30 °C the eggs hatched after an incubation period of 85-117 days. One hatchling incubated constantly under 27.5 °C left the egg after 97 days …

Use Of Thermal Water By The Andean Toad Bufo Spinulosus, Edgar Lehr, Emilio Fuentes, Gunther Kohler
Edgar Lehr
Tadpoles of the Andean toad Bufo spinulosus were found in warm water of a thermal spring in central Peru (Banos, 3460 m elev., Departamento Hmlnuco, Provincia Dos de Mayo). Adjacent water bodies of similar size but without connections to the thermal spring did not contain tadpoles. Water temperatures of the thermal and non-thermal water were measured and compared. 33,4 °C was the highest water temperature where a tadpole of Bufo spinulosus was observed.

A new species of leptodactylid frog, Phrynopus horstpauli, is described from the eastern Andean slopes of central Peru (Departamento de Huanuco, Provincia de Ambo, Distrito de Conchamarca) between 3030 and 3430 m elevation. The new species is assigned to the Phrynopus Peruanus group. Phrynopus horstpauli occurs sympatrically with Gastrotheca Griswoldi and another undescribed species of Phrynopus.
