Introducing Caatanga X Ornata

[Tony]

thanks enjoy your little weak tree frogs. Send them over so my guy can eat them sometime.

Overcompensating with big frogs huh? What a manly man you are, drive a lifted truck too?

[EpicFrogMan]

you obviously know nothing about Horned Frogs, so please go back to your little dart frog section.

Tony, Epic Frog Man, comments about one's frog size although amusing are probably not some of the more productive comments one could make. We all could use a little lowering of the testasterone right about now. Like in politics there are always going to be differing opinions in our hobby when it comes to breeding like this. But we must at last be respectful of those opinions or we will simply close down lines of communication when it comes to really thought provoking and engaging issues such as this one. Anyone who's visited various frog forums I'm sure has seen this on Dendroboard and knows what I'm talking about. I don't post over there very often not because I don't feel confidant in what I'm saying but because I may not feel like getting into a pissing contest over an opinion. Tony does have a vast knowledge of breeding various species and his opinions should be respected. Seth and Kevin on the opposing side of this argument are equally knowledgable and their opinions are just as deserving. Sometimes its okay to simply agree to disagree. But if you read back through this post a true downright argument really wasn't needed in this case. A better choose of words would have been more appropriate so that everyone feels open to share their opinions, not only on this topic but more importantly in the future. I would hate to see any animosity build up that would affect a members desire to post their opinions here.

Sorry but this Tony guy is a joke, coming in my thread talking ish on something he doesnt even know about.

Hes acting like he knows more than the leaders of the Horned Frog community who actually write books and talk to scientists all over the world.

What have you done for horned frogs Tony? Thats right nothing. So stick to dart frogs

The "Horned frog community" is a joke, and you are an overcompensating, ignorant piece of trailer trash. Go back to the monster truck rally where you belong.

Someone please ban this kid.

WOW, way to extend your scuffle to the entire "community" thats pretty uncalled for.

Any "community" who acquires a new species and immediately wastes it on hybrids instead of trying to establish it in captivity is a joke.

You seem to be a very intelligent guy Tony. I respect your take on hybrids while I find it understandable and even agree to some extent, I take offense to what you said and feel it was uncalled for. I know Epicfrogman has been rude but like Malachi said, no need to extend it to all of us horned frog keepers. Also I don't see what's wasted about it. It's not like it immediately dies once it's been bred. I imagine it was just an experiment and trust that Phillipe and Kim know what they're doing with these 2 new species.
