With all due respect, i wasn't aware of the fact that giving an (my) opinion could be
disrespectfull, nevertheless, i wasn't able to find reports on (succesfull) breeding Bombina although "There are many here that own FBT". It might be that sad truth that makes you feel not very comfortable, i guess (with all due respect, of course!!).

respectfull regards,

I am happy to read that you are pro-frogs, and passionate about them. Most of us are here. But that is not the point. We all have different needs on this forum, and different philosophies. Stating your opinion is encouraged. As long as others are respected by yourself too. This is a great site for all. We are all respectful of one another. And one's opinion should not be imposed, nor made to think that it's better than someone else's. We discourage the elitist approach on this site. We have many experts herps and hobbyists on this site, and instead of putting down others' opinions, they have helped others by teaching respectfully.

As for me not being comfortable, if you stick around long enough, you will quickly learn that nothing really gets me uncomfortable. And I welcome any debate. But I will do it respectfully, keeping the good of this forum in mind,

Comfortable Eric
