The conservation effort at the El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center (EVACC) in El Valle de Antón, Panama provides in-country "ex-situ" support for amphibians that have the greatest potential risk of extinction from chytridiomycosis. "A. lemur" falls into this category and is being supported at El Valle. During 2006-2007, the water – through means of filtration from tap sources – in which they were living turned out to be soft and acidic. Ultraviolet B spectrum lighting was provided on all tanks for two hours daily via modified halogen bulbs. From 2006-2008, their diet consisted of wild caught invertebrates, including: katydids, termites, fruit flies, and isopods. In the necropsy, of "A. lemur" that had died after 90 days, the Captive-Bred Juveniles (CBJ), (ones that included animals resulting from captive breeding) were compared with wild‐caught Long-Term Residents (LTR). The results showed that the cause of death for the "A. lemur" at EVACC was through poor nutritional condition and osteodystrophy, with a very small number contracting lungworm infection and squamous metaplasia. A stumbling block to the conservation of "Agalychnis lemur" at El Valle in Panama has been its tendency to develop a vitamin A defiency when given insect-based diets in captivity. Lesions develop shortly after the vitamin A deficiency comes into effect. The tongue of "Agalychnis lemur" is prominently affected by squamous metaplasia. Other associated problems occur elsewhere, such as in the oral and nasal cavities, the esophagus, stomach, reproductive tract and bladder. Further research is required to evaluate these problems.
