At one time I kept a pretty nice collection of Amphibians and even did a little breeding but currently all I have is two subjects.
One is a male Leopard Gecko, about 8 years old raised from a hatchling.
My other critter is a male sub-adult albino horned frog about 8 months old. I got him when he was a little bit smaller than a quarter. He is actually my third horned frog. I raised a couple others from about quarter sized all the way up to small saucer size. These two ended up living about 6-7 years each.
Neither of my herps are exotic by any means, but both are ferocious eaters and in wonderful health.
I am seriously thinking about starting a colony of poison dart frogs, but I don't know if I have the time needed to make the frogs thrive.
Alot of people shy away from such creatures (especially snakes) but they have personalities and can be very good pets (not in the cat or dog way) and provide alot of enjoyment.
Anyone else here have a similar interest or any questoins about getting into reptile and amphibian husbandry? It can be a very rewarding experience.
