Resumen

Las ranas del género Agalychnis y particularmente A. callidryas, con distribución en México, son extensamente saqueadas para el comercio de mascotas, una de sus principales amenazas. En este sentido, la reproducción en cautiverio de anfibios es una alternativa viable para la conservación pese a que no es fácil en especies con las características de esta rana. En el presente trabajo se describen algunas complicaciones que surgen durante la reproducción en cautiverio de A. callidryas y sus posibles soluciones, y se muestran tratamientos que permitieron la solución de estos problemas: infecciones bacterianas, helmínticas y para desgarres en la piel. Se incluye, además, el uso de sus patrones corporales para la identificación de individuos. El objetivo es proporcionar alternativas que puedan ser utilizadas en zoológicos, acuarios y otros centros reproductivos, así como en programas de reproducción para la conservación de anuros amenazados similares a esta especie.
