I love herpetology and found this site while researching some info on the native frogs of Michigan. I have had a fire-bellied toad before and loved it but I was only 7 and it died of dessication. I was so mad to have caused the death of a herp. Now I am much more knowledgeable and careful than I was six years ago. I am very interested in amphibians an am looking into breeding. I would like to start out on a simple native species such as the Northern Green Frog (Rana clamitans melanota).
