And I believe what I was saying was that maybe she shouldn't just assume that the OP was putting two frogs together because their names were the same. No where in there did I say that we just should throw everything together.
Maybe someone can clarify for me. I have been always confused by the term hybrid when referring to tincs. I was under the impression that the term hybridizing was used for crossing separate species. Tincs all fall under the same species, but are just sub populations of the same species. They are all Dendrobates tinctorius 'Insert Population tag here." (Just for a disclaimer, I am by no means suggesting that everyone lump everything together because a tinc is a tinc is a tinc..... far from it, just trying to understand the term hybrid in this instance.)
