Hi there

I live in Gauteng South Africa and having been keeping a variety of Herps for some 13 years now. I am slowly starting to move my collection over to indigenous South African amphibians purely becasue we do not have access to Exotic amphibs (we even have a zero ban on dendrobate listed as an invasive threat - rubbish!!).

I have just got my first pair of amphibs which are the banded rubber frogs (Phrynomantis bifasciatus) I am still in a learning curve but definetly it was a good starting frog for me as they are really hardy and have great appatites. I will be getting some painted reed frogs (Hyperolius marmoratus), bullfrogs (Pyxicephalus) and forest tree frogs (leptopelis natalensis) in Spring (september down here) and will see what success I will have with them.

I look forward to learning from everyone and sharing what I learn.
