Then I started researching which types of frogs I've always wanted and have been slowly adding to fill the tanks that can fit on that one rack. Once I'm done and all the tanks on that rack are filled I will have to get rid of a species in order to add another one. That is the limitation that I have set on myself. You will find the longer you are in this hobby your interests will change. So for me I am going through an evolution...even since starting my frog rack. All of the tanks I have been buying are from CraigsList which saves me more money to spend on the actual frogs. You really should try some dart frogs... they are very facinating and although I still have a special place for my tree frogs I have also learned so much more by branching out and trying different types of frogs. One thing I have noticed is since I have increased my frog population is that I use to check in on each and every frog to make sure they are all eating and looking good and I would do that every day. Now if a frog is in hiding I don't have time to look around for him. I just have to hope I'll see him the next day. That's the downside. The upside is all the tank builds. I love it. You should also look for ways to make builds cheaper. Thats why I started doing some with clay and using different drainage layer materials. I have also been pulling cutlings from other tanks to use in the next ones. Things like that. Just set a limit for yourself, take it slow and have fun with it. If its not fun anymore stop doing it. If it is fun why not just enjoy the ride, have fun with your frogs and continue to learn.
