Thanks Travis for educating me. Believe it or not I did a lot of research before beginning my hobby. I started out reading about them on the internet, then I purchased my first book Professional Breeders Series at the White Plains Reptile show and lastly I communicated numerous of times with the guys from Black Jungle who I would visit practically every weekend. Every decision that I made was guided by research and by professional advice. That is before I came across this website. Now why I was given all this bad advice? and why when I began having problems no one mentioned nothing about a fecal test? is beyond me. All I know is that I am now in the right place, getting the right advice and I am thankful for that alone.

yea, i do that aswell. thats why i'm hear to learn about dart frogs. i wont have my viv done for another two or three months. so am learning about dart frogs n the meantime before i get them.


but like i said, have consideraiton for other people who might not think of doing stuff like that instead of visiting a forum and flamming them like your the god of all reptiles.

not many people actually think things out before doing them or they just take the easy way out. a beginner woulden't know ANYTHING about owning a reptile until they were told about it, that includes mixing stuff when labelled with a misleading 'community' description.

sure...they could come around and look up the info, but not many people actually take the time to search for info. goto any forum and search for all the questions people ask on it. how many of those question posts do you think are repeats? how many of those posters do you think even thought of searching the forum or just usuing google or some other search engine?

also take into account that a person wont look up info on things like mixing species if they don't even know its not to be done. thier isen't exactly a document about DOs and DON'T about pdf keeping that gets circulated with every pdf sale threwout the world.

i have Epipedobates tricolor santa isabel froglets that are just coming out of the water. but some of them appear to be missing one of their front arms. they still have their tails, and are out of the water climbing slowly. does anyone know any reasons for this? and will they grow arms in while on land?
