Hello all...

[Shauno]

Hi,

My name is Shauno and I have been a fan of dart frogs/mantellas since reading a Nat Geo article in the late 70's- early 80's??

I am originally from Tucson AZ and have collected/maintained almost every reptile and amphibian the area has to offer - which is vast for this desert area. I now live in a Portland Oregon burb and currently just keep freshwater aquaria as this is all I have time for.

I have been keen on following news about frog populations around the world and commend you all for taking your time to share, educate and captively breed frogs- to all whom ever find their way to this board. I have been lurking around here for about a week to get somewhat up to speed on the captive care, current breeding techniques and availability of these beautiful dart frogs.

I look forward to chating you all up, and especially the day I acquire my first dart frogs (tough to decide on which of the easier sp. to start with as all are so beautiful).

Thank you- Shauno
