Not even close, look at the pet stores, kingsnake ads and import numbers, the "other frogs" outnumber darts by a huge margin, but most of them disappear into the disorganized mess and die instead of being cared for by dedicated hobbyists.
I got my first exotic frogs in 1993, a pair of wild caught red eyed tree frogs which lived under my care until 1999 along with a number of other frogs. I had to take a break from the hobby from 2000-2006 while I served my country, and rejoined the hobby in late 2008. Guess what frogs were the first in my new collection? Red eyes again, followed shortly by Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis. A little over a year later they are thriving and breeding for me, and my collection is growing now that I have the means to pursue what I have wanted to do since I was a kid with his first frogs 17 years ago. Sucking on mommy and daddy's teat instead of serving your country and making your way on your own does not make you a superior frogger, just an immature man-child.
