Have you ever stopped to consider where all of the major advancements in the hobby are coming from? Where the most experienced, educated, and knowledgeable people in the hobby congregate? Which part of the hobby has the highest number of captive bred frogs available, often with bloodline and locality data? The answer is the dart frog community. Despite your repeated attempts to characterize me as an arrogant dart frogger, the primary focus of my collection and my real passion is Central and South American tree frogs. My goal in the hobby is to establish as many tree frogs species in captivity as I possibly can, and to do it with the accuracy and dedication that I have learned on the dart side. "The rest of the hobby" is a disorganized mess of casual owners, people who want to turn frogs into the next corn snake or leopard gecko, and a few true hobbyists who have the vision and the ambition to bring the respectability of the dart frog hobby to other frogs. If I can do my part to rally those few people and accomplish something positive I don't care how many fantasy frog owners I upset along the way.
