Took a nice pic of my male Red Head. cell phone pic no less hope you all enjoy, happy to have gotten my dream frogs when I had the chance.

I thought I would take a look at CITES U.S. import data ... because I thought it would be interesting. I got to thinking about it after thinking about ways to estimate the relative size of the U.S. hobby and note any trends in species popularity. There was a poll a while back asking how many people were involved in the hobby, but I was curious about the volume of animals coming into the country. I pulled CITES data from as many species as I could think of, and filtered the data for "US" and "live" imports.

The height of importation seems to be in 2008 to 2010, where roughly 10,000 animals were imported per year. This figure seems to have fallen to 5,000 to 6,000 per year from 2010 to 2013. This of course does not tell us how big the CB trade is, but the trends per species is interesting. Here's the full graphic:

The trend that was interesting to me was the drop in imports of auratus around 2009-2010 and the increase of pumilio around 2004-2005:

The low import counts on tincs was surprising to me, as was the high number of Pumilio. Here is the full top three with the annual import totals:

I don't know what to make of the sylvatica / histrionica numbers matching each other 1:1. One of you large Oophaga keepers probably will come up with a better hypothesis than me.

One of the most surprising aspects of the data to me was the Mantella numbers. I had no idea how heavily imported they were. Note how they dominate the list when added:

I didn't look at all imports world wide, or exports by country, but I have pulled all that data and I have it in a single spreadsheet which will make it relatively easy to plot those views. Anyhow I don't know how to interpret all this yet, but I thought it might be interesting to share and discuss. Feel free to ask for alternate views and I'll see what I can pull together. It's definitely interesting stuff...

Hey! I'm new to the hobby and I've been doing a lot of research in regards to creating a proper vivarium, but I'm still unsure about a few things regarding lighting and lids.

Lid- I have purchased an ExoTerra 18x18x24 tank which came with a mesh-like lid.. I know this will not work out so well for ventilation purposes. I was wondering if I just placed a piece of glass or acrylic on top of the mesh if it will help with the humidity? Should I leave parts of the mesh "open" to allow for a little ventilation?

Lighting- Is a light-cycle recommended? If so what kind. Also, if I would get a glass top to cover up the mesh, would it be best to put the light on top of the glass or below... not sure if the glass would interfere with any of beams and such.

Hopefully these questions don't seem too stupid.

Thanks for your help!!

I like the new site. very different than the "old" one.

Just got a pair of Red Heads and must say they are amazing looking frogs, pics don't do them justice. However, I wanted to share a pic of each one.

Hey Everyone how you doing. Would like to introduce my self my name is David , I've been in the hobby for a few years now keeping mostly pumilio frogs. I never thought to join these forums then figured why not , look forward to meeting as much of you as possible. Glad to be a part of the dartden forums.
