people on dendroboard just need to experiment with i doubt i would introduce them to the mainstream population though

[Steve]

you 'doubt' you would introduce them to the mainstream?

You are really asking for some negative feedback here...

snip 'people on dendroboard just need to experiment'. They do experiment... but with things that are benificial to the frogs. Have you considered that it may be genetically bad for the frog to be cross bred?

Please don't offer me any of your cross bred, cool looking frogs!!!!!

how would it be genetically bad its not as though it will create a bunch of tards

i honestly think you are just trying to get a rise out of people. You are welcome to do what you want obviously, just do not expect people to agree with cross breeding, you have to understand that most people want to provide to most optimal conditions for their frogs, and crossing genetics on purpose just isnt a good practice. Do not expect to have anyone respond in a positive manner just because you think you can create a "cool looking frog".

apparently you have asked this question without any prior research, so I will spare you the explanation and tell you if you want the answers why it is not good to look it up. Do the research and you will see why and consider the damage that can be done and not just worry about your "cool looking frog" that you think will be produced. Call this a flame if you want, but ideas like this are what is not good for the hobby and people that perpetrate them are not in the best interest of the hobby itself. If I get smacked for that comment, so be it, but there will be more than a few that want to say it and just don't so I'll throww myself on the sword for those that don't want to speak up.

well in many other animals hybrids are valuable why not in the dart frog world i think you people have closed minds
